Phantom Quest Corp (幽幻怪社 You-Gen-Kai-Sya?) is a comedy/paranormal anime which involves a beautiful exorcist who owns her own ghost-busting company. It is believed that the story was taken from Ghost Sweeper Mikami.
Ayaka Kisaragi is a beautiful woman decended from a long line of Japanese exorcists. However, being bored with the traditional way, she started her own business, Phantom Quest Corp, or You-Gen-Kai-Sha. The headquarters of the company is Ayaka's quaint little family home... which is nestled between the skyscrapers of the Shinjuku district in Tokyo.
Along with the traditional knowledge she possesses, Ayaka also uses very unconventional weapons while attacking ghosts and demons. One of them is a lipstick case that turns into what appears as a laser sword. She also has earrings that explode into spiritual energy.
Although she is very competent with her skills, Ayaka's own bad habits (drinking sake, karaoke and extravagant shopping binges) often cut into the company's meager earnings... and interfere with paying the various experts whose help she usually depends upon. Also, because of her drinking, she often sleeps in bed late, which her partner and business associate Mamoru Shimesu has to find creative ways of waking her up from.
Along the way, and with a little help from various spiritual specialists, Ayaka can usually be found battling vampires, poltergeists, and cutthroat competitors bent on driving her out of business... but she's not going down without a fight!
