Q and A (manga)
Q and A (Japanese: QあんどA, Hepburn: Q ando A) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mitsuru Adachi. It was serialized in Shogakukan‘s Monthly Shōnen Sunday (Gessan) from May 2009 to March 2012. It was one of the first manga to be launched in Gessan. The “Q” in the title is for the nickname “Q-chan” for character Hisashi, and the “A” for Atsushi.

When returning home from his first day out after moving in, Atsushi sees his brother is still around in the form of a ghost, waiting for the family to come back all these years. In a feverish haze, he is convinced he is just seeing things, but the next morning realizes that his brother’s ghost is still present. Not only that, but the only one who can see Hitsushi’s ghost is Atsushi.
