''[[Phantom Quest Corp.]]'' (''Yugen Kaisha''/''You-Gen-Kai-Sha'' in Japanese) is a horror/mystery [[OVA]].
The [[Anime]] [[OVA]] consists of four episodes each with a thirty-five minute runtime. The story follows You-Gen-Kai-Sya or Phantom Quest Corp., an organization lead by one Ayaka Kisaragi. The organization specializes in tracking down and taking down the supernatural, from ghosts to vampires to undead and each and every last evil spirit all across Tokyo. The only opposition that the company runs into is the constant onset of debt.
