Gakkou no Yuurei (School Ghosts), Volume 6

Here's the last volume of Gakkou no Yuurei (School Ghosts), completing the series Orphan started last November. What, you say? Aren't there seven volumes of School Ghosts? There are, but technically, the seventh volume is a sequel series, titled Shin Gakkou no Yuurei (New School Ghosts). Orphan will get to it, sooner or later. Meanwhile, this volume, which is subtitled "Final Chapter," consists of six stories, both animated and live action.

The segments in this volume are:

1. "Picking Up on a Rainy Day" (animated). A mother and daughter are going home from school on a rainy day. The mother sees another girl waiting to be picked up, but it's a girl who has been dead for eight years.
   
   
   
   
   
2. "School Trip Stone" (live action). A schoolgirl brings a pretty stone home from a field trip, but the stone was placed where it was for a reason.
   
   
   
   
   
3. "Abandoned Temple" (animated). Two schoolboys explore a ruined temple, thinking it is uninhabited. But something is still there.
   
   
   
   
   
4. "School Lunch Lady" (live action). Two schoolboys really like the hamburger steak lunch made by the amiable Auntie Katayama. She disappears, but the boys get to taste her hamburger steak one last time.
   
   
   
   
   
5. "Road to School" (animated). A schoolgirl is friends with a local dog, John, who continues to look out for her, no matter what it takes.
   
   
   
   
   
6. "The Horror at 4:44" (live action). Never, ever go to the Art Room at exactly 4:44 PM.
   

None of the stories is particularly original, but the last is by far the weakest.

The staff is the same as before. Perevodildo translated and did initial timing. ninjacloud fine-timed. I edited and typeset. Nemesis and Topper3000 QCed. Our caffeinated encoder went under the pseudonym of "Wiener Melange" this time. And what, exactly, is a Wiener Melange, you ask? It's like a cappuccino, but with brewed coffee instead of espresso. Or at least, that's what Wikipedia says.

So here's the last volume of Gakkou no Yuurei. We'll release a batch in a few days, but there won't be any changes to previous volumes, and, I sincerely hope, none to this one either. You can get this release from the usual torrent site or from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news in irc.rizon.net.
