This book/anime series is insane. It starts out with an unsuspecting guy stumbling on a shop that grants wishes. The owner offers to rid him of his problem of seeing spirits, but only if he becomes a part time worker for her. It turns into kind of a horror story, and then gets really deep. (episode 14 in the anime, I believe) I found it well worth reading (watching, actually), but I should warn you that it has substantial alcohol use.
