In this post I have compiled information about Yana distancing herself from the anime, and Editor K’s explicit recounting of Yana’s disappointment. However, that she is super nice and positive does not mean she accepts anything else as her own canon. It’s just that she keeps her dear canon safe within her own arms without ever forcing anything down anyone’s throat. Yana is an incredibly kind and compliant person. So just like for The Most Beautiful Death in the World, Yana was ONLY responsible for the VISUALS, not the content. Besides, she really enjoys seeing the creativity of other people. When Yana received word that Square Enix wanted to make a game based on her series, it was in Yana’s every strategic interest to say yes.

The game was released in 2009, and at the time it was Editor Kuma’s and Yana’s top priority to keep the hype won through the anime burning. She oversaw the creation of the original characters and plot, but was never responsible for the content. I have skimmed through the game but I found it a bit boring so I gave up after catching the mice in the kitchen.Ībout whether Phantom & Ghost is canon hahaha, don’t worry, don’t worry (*´▽`*)ノ⁾⁾⁾ it is decidedly not canon because Yana did not write it.
