Spirit Researchers

Lore & Background

It does not mention an Occult Club, its disbandment, or any dichotomy between aliens and spirits as a defining conflict for a group. The narrative centers on the loss and recovery of Okarun's testicles, not on a group of researchers validating spiritual phenomena.

Reader's Guide

It does not mention a goal of proving ghosts are real, protecting humanity from malevolent spirits, or a contrast with alien hunters. The source identifies the 'Family' as the main group of kids led by Seiko dealing with the supernatural, and the History and Culture Research Club as a front for their activities at Kami High. Key members include Momo Ayase, Okarun, Aira Shiratori, Jin Enjoji, Kinta Sakata, Vamola, Rin Sawaki, Unji Zuma, and Kouki Yukishiro, but no 'Spirit Researchers' group is referenced.
