Ghost Master: "Ghost Master (originally titled Gôsuto masutâ) is a Japanese horror-comedy that follows Akira Kurosawa, a nerdy assistant director working on the set of a low budget rom-com at an abandoned school. Burnt out on campy teen dramas, Akira dreams of becoming the ultimate horror master. When a conflict with the director, Atsushi Suzuki causes half the cast to strike, Akira is left in charge of the production. Ditching the scheduled project and pivoting to his own horror script, titled Ghost Master, Akira is shocked when his evil screenplay comes to life and begins possessing the cast, including the film’s star, Yuya. As a killing spree commences and the body count rises, Akira must band together with the crew and one remaining actress, Mana to stop the gruesome attacks.

Based on the popular shojo manga “Hot Gimmick”, the film is another romantic, coming-of-age one, which, unfortunately, loses its sense of measure half way in, among other faults. Let us take things from the beginning though.
Hatsumi Narita is a high school girl who lives with her older brother, Shinogu, her younger sister Akane, and their nowhere to be found parents in a company apartment complex. One day, a neighbor and classmate, Ryoki Tachibana watches her trying to get rid of a pregnancy test and starts blackmailing her to be his slave and do whatever he asks. At the same time, Hatsumi’s first childhood love, Azusa Odagiri, returns to the complex, although by now he is a famous idol. Tachibana’s actions are soon revealed an awkward expression of love, but Hatsumi decides to date Azusa, who is revealed, though, to have a completely different agenda on his mind.
