Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs (ゆらぎ荘の幽奈さん, Yuragi-sō no Yūna-san) is a Japanese shōnen manga series written and illustrated by Tadahiro Miura. The manga began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on February 8, 2016,[1] with eight volumes that have been collected in tankōbon format so far. Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that it will release the series for an English audience under its Ghost Ship imprint with the first volume releasing on March 6, 2018.[2] An anime adaptation has been announced.[3]
Plot
The series follows the life of the luckless and homeless high school student Kogarashi Fuyuzora. In his search for a home, he is introduced to Yuragisou, a cheap boarding house and former hot springs inn. The reason Yuragisou is so cheap is because it is haunted by the beautiful ghost spirit Yuuna whose corpse was discovered at the inn. Kogarashi then helps Yuuna with her unfinished business, all while discovering the supernatural secrets of the rest of the female tenants.
