A cute and beautifully illustrated story about a gardener and the ghost(s) around him. 

Hamal (gardener) has been able to see ghosts since he was little but does not know why. Blues (ghost) has been dead and lonely for a while before he met Hamal. 
The two form a friendship and meet a few more ghosts and people over the years. They also develop feelings for each other. Which is difficult because... y'know.

After some weird and worrying things start happening and they get confronted they have to make a decision.

Lukily everything works out in the end and there is a happy ending for them.


The story was a bit confusing and it felt like there were some pages missing. I wonder if there actually were pages missing or if that was just how the story is.

Cute and quick little read but not too exciting.
Beautiful art.
