Fuyumi Ono is best known to me as the original writer for The Twelve Kingdoms, the series that really got me seriously watching anime and laid the foundation for me to discover Haibane Renmei and Berserk1

I had discovered the anime adaptation of Ono's Ghost Hunt and enjoyed the heck out of it. It doesn't have the epic scope that The Twelve Kingdoms had2, but Ghost Hunt did feature some great characters and some really memorable scare moments3. In the end, I liked the hell out of it, even if it didn't get "top ten" rating.

Well, just got news today that another manga that Fuyumi Ono written the original novel for has been green lit to be adapted into an anime:

The official website for the anime adaptation of Fuyumi Ono and Ryu Fujisaki's Shiki horror mystery manga has opened

1. 1. Yes, two very divergent anime; one day, I'll have to write how they link together with The Twelve Kingdoms thematically.
2. 2. And not many anime did and handled that level of scope nearly as well
3. 3. Especially the one that featured the doll. I still get the creeps watching that scene!
