main cast
* Based on Kobayashi Jin's shounen manga, serialised in Gekkan Gangan Joker.
Recap: During summer vacation Yasaka Hajime meets Arashiyama Sayoko at a café and it is love at first sight — at least for him. So he decides to start working part-time there, to be close to her. But Sayoko is not your regular girl; she claims to be a ghost possessing him. And as it turns out all his co-workers have a mysterious secret of their own as well...
As the days go by for Hajime, the recent additions to the Hakobune Café staff: Fushimi Yayoi and Yamazaki Kanako — both ghosts from the same era as Arashi and Kaya — feel right at home, adding spice to the already unusual daily happenings at the café. Hajime's happy days spent with Sayoko take a dampener though, when he finds out that she will apparently disappear at the end of summer...

Plot-wise it is weaker than season 1, but the comedy is the same and it still has its moments. If you liked the 1st season, then you won't hate this one either.

IMO Better than season 1,
if you watch it for pure comedy, no need to watch season 1
while season 1 has more serious plot,
season 2 got more comedy

Continues where season 1 left off. If you liked the first season you'll like this. Left open enough for a 3rd series if Shaft decide to make one.
