What to expect from the Dark Gathering manga
College freshman Keitaro Gentouga despises ghosts. Unfortunately for him, he attracts them. Two years before, this link with spirits resulted in his suffering spiritual damage to his right hand, with his companion caught in the crossfire.
Keitaro develops extremely bad social skills as a result of the incident, leading him to become a lonely person. Fortunately, with the aid of his childhood buddy, Eiko Houzuki, he gradually starts to integrate with society.
Yayoi Houzuki, Eiko's cousin, is Keitaro's first student as he works as a part-time private tutor to aid his recovery. Yayoi is not just a child genius, but she also has Keitarou's spiritual constitution.
In contrast to Keitarou, she desires to speak with ghosts in an effort to track down the spirit who abducted her mother. Keitarou's side work seems to be veering further away from its intended aim as Yayoi and Eiko drag him along to haunted locations.
Is the Dark Gathering manga finished or still ongoing?
Dark Gathering manga is currently ongoing. Shueisha has compiled its chapters into 13 distinct tankobon volumes (as of August 4, 2023). On June 4, 2019, the first volume was made available.
Manga artist Kenichi Kondo confirmed on his official Twitter account that Dark Gathering has already printed more than one million copies since the release of the first volume.
The focus of the recent chapter of Dark Gathering so far was Yaoyi, who was trying to defeat the monsters in whatever way she could to save Eiko and Keitaro.
Yaoyi utilized her ghost-hunting tools, but the monsters kept regenerating anyhow. No matter what she did, the demons kept growing.
The Yaoyi and others must leave the area right away since it looked like the monsters were employing the rebirth curse.
