Viz Media releases the manga in English and describes the story:

Why bother fighting spectral foes like all the other exorcists when you can just eat them?

Straight A student Eugene Korekishi doesn't believe in ghosts…but his classmate Mogari Shishikuno is an exorcist who swallows them whole! Mogari can't see ghosts on his own, but once he and Eugene meet someone with the sight, there's only one path left—form an exorcist club at school and embark on a high school life that's anything but normal!

In search of a fourth member for the club, Mogari, Eugene, and new recruit Kaoru Kanzaki set their sights on Kotaro Tamon, a classmate who seems to be able to talk to ghosts. Unfortunately, Kotaro's got some major problems communicating with living humans! Will Kotaro be able to overcome his anxiety and join the Phantom Busters?

Neoshoco launched the manga in Jump SQ. in 2023. Shueisha published the eighth compiled book volume on October 2. Viz Media released the fifth volume on October 6.

Viz Media's Shonen Jump app and Shueisha's MANGA Plus service are both releasing the manga digitally in English.

The manga has more than 1.4 million copies in circulation, including digital copies sold.
