Reception

Reviewing Ghost Reaper Girl, Steven Blackburn of Screen Rant compared the manga to other Japanese series that he says involve "some type of creature entering the hero's body and granting the host powers", such as Parasyte, Kaiju No. 8, Dragon Ball GT and Jujutsu Kaisen; Blackburn claimed that Ghost Reaper Girl is a refreshing take of this trope, commenting that "there isn't really anything like Ghost Reaper Girl".[11]
