Told you I'd be back when Otherside Picnic vol7 finished dropping.
There's just one main thing here, but it's a pretty big thing I guess.
In chapter 5 of (part 2 of) volume 7, we get this scene where Toriko and Sorawo conclude that the true forms of what they're facing up against are the frameworks of ghost stories themselves; this means that all the different Otherside entities all should have some variety of Abstract Existence (Type 1, probably). They're stories given form, and their true forms are the rules and structures of the ghost stories they embody; these are true forms that Sorawo and Toriko can interact with and even destroy, which is a big boon to both of their NPI.
The Conceptual Manipulation comes from things that Sorawo and Toriko discuss and do accomplish in the book.
Sorawo's plan is to use her right eye, or Toriko's hand, to manipulate the ghost story behind Satsuki Uruma to transform her into another ghost story.
And when push comes to shove, Toriko is able to manipulate Satsuki's form through her left hand. An earlier feat of Sorawo's is also treated as functioning similarly, so both of them should probably get (limited) Conceptual Manipulation, Type 3. This is from Chapter 4 of part 3.
Satsuki resists it to an extent, though, so it doesn't go exactly as planned, and I guess she ends up altering her own ghost story in response? In general, Satsuki seems to have some sort of resistance to their powers.
The other thing is essentially a novelty, Toriko can feel things Sorawo can't see, which just reinforces her ESP / Enhanced Senses.
