Hanada Shounen-shi(2002)

Hanada Shounen-shi is a Japanese anime series following Ichiro Hanada, a mischievous boy who gains the ability to see and communicate with supernatural beings after a head injury. Originally a manga by Makoto Isshiki that won the 1995 Kodansha Manga Award, the story blends comedy with otherworldly encounters as Ichiro navigates his strange new gift. The 25-episode anime adaptation, produced by Madhouse, aired on NTV starting October 2002 and captures the manga's playful tone while exploring the boy's interactions with ghosts and spirits. The series also inspired a 2006 live-action film. Hanada Shounen-shi appeals to viewers who enjoy supernatural comedy with heart and a touch of mystery.
