This story was born from the inspiration of graffiti seen in Los Angeles. It’s not deep, but it leaves a little impression. It’s a loose 4-panel comic about a ghost boy and girl.

How did you like it? I would be happy if everyone enjoyed it!

Character Introductions

Oz

A ghost boy. Born from inspiration found in Los Angeles graffiti, he is the protagonist of this story. He’s laid-back and loves music.

Lou

A ghost girl. The heroine who goes to various places with Oz. She’s a bit bold-spirited and loves cooking, though unfortunately she’s not very good at it. She also likes fashion, but since she’s a ghost, there aren’t many clothes that suit her. Her treasure is a rabbit plushie named Mimi.

Kumanoko

A bear plushie with just a touch of melancholy. The fact that he can move is unknown to Oz and Lou. Through training, he has become able to emit weak Wi-Fi signals.

Mimi

Lou’s precious rabbit plushie. She has a girly personality and tends to get flustered. Currently concerned about her diet. But she’s super good at making sweets.

Wi-Fi

An electronic device true to his name. He’s sarcastic but actually a good guy who cares about his friends. His trademark red shoes can be retracted.

Spiritualy-chan

A girl who is a bit spiritual. She’s 16 years old. She became a fan after encountering spiritual books in elementary school. Her favorite food is tropical parfait. She’s also drawn to quantum mechanics.

ABOUT

This story began as inspiration from graffiti I saw in Los Angeles long ago. Aspiring to the Snoopy I loved so much, I’m quietly aiming for beautiful colors and simple stories.

Since the two are ghost children, I titled it The Friendly Ghost. Living alongside ghost boy Oz and ghost girl Lou are a bear plushie, Kumanoko. A rabbit plushie, Mimi, that Lou bought at first sight. And the Wi-Fi in their home. I would be happy if you enjoyed the small stories of these characters.
