About the Buzzy Manga, Phantom Busters

Phantom Busters, often affectionately shortened to “Fanbas,” is a captivating devil-exorcising youth comedy by Neoshochou, serialized in Shueisha’s monthly manga magazine Jump SQ. Set in the historical city of Kamakura, the story follows the “Phantom Busters” club, a quirky group of four high school boys—Mogari, Koreshiki, Zaki, and Tamon—as they navigate their youth while engaging in supernatural exorcism activities. This dynamic series has already sold over 1 million copies in cumulative circulation. Its rising popularity is evident from its impressive accolades, including ranking 14th in the Comics Division of the “Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishou 2025” (Next Manga Award 2025), 2nd in “Zenkoku Shotenin ga Eranda Osusume Comic 2025” (Nationwide Bookstore Employees’ Recommended Comics 2025), and 4th in the “Anime Kashiite Hoshii Manga Ranking 2025” (Manga You Want to See Animated Ranking 2025). Clearly, it’s a series gaining significant momentum and attention!
