A neighbor also sees a rug apparently beating itself. Later on, [[InvisibleToAdults it's implied kids can see her just fine]]. [[spoiler:Though those kids might have been ghosts too.]] His neighbor Hakuu Ranko can see her too, but only when she's drunk (which she often is).
* MagicalGirlfriend: He doesn't seem to have romantic feelings for her, but otherwise she fits the trope, helping him get back on his feet and enjoy life.
* MistakenForMasturbating: Since Onryo-san is InvisibleToNormals, when she posed as an art model for Kirara and he got vocally excited, his neighbor thought he was watching a lewd video.
* MoustacheDePlume: Since he's a {{Shoujo}} mangaka, Kirara pretends to be a woman on Twitter, but he has no idea how to act. Onryo-san takes over the account for him. His real name may be Senai Yarou (since that's the name on the bill in Chapter 15).
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: Inverted. After she starts helping him as an assistant, Kirara asks Onryo-san to draw something. She draws a childish picture of the two of them in a sunny field of flowers.
* RaceNameBasis: "Onryo-san" is just a type of ghost. Her true name is unknown.
* TheSpeechless: It's unknown if Onryo-san can talk at all, but she hasn't so far.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Her hair is usually pretty normal, but she otherwise fits the description of an ''onryo''. The horror movie they watch has a more conventional one.
* UnluckyEverydude: Kirara isn't very successful as a mangaka and has to work a part-time job to make ends meet. He doesn't seem to have any friends either.
