That was a sweet chapter.
Mieruko chan chapter 13
It's really good that the author is able to break up the monotony. I thought for sure at the start that it'd just be the same gag every week until it got old.
God dammit I wanna hug Miko. She's such a nice and sweet girl.
>grandma la goblina
So I guess the big alleyway mouth guy really IS their own suicide booth, for when they're done with their business. It gave that impression already, but it's nice to see confirmation.
Still, feels odd to imagine Mieruko's dad or other nice spirits doing that. Guess it's just a thing or the "dirty" spirits
This manga just gets better and better.
What a thirsty dyke.
Posting the rest of the chapter.
>Four
Oh shit
Nice
here we go
This is like the chapter with the cat and her dad.
Here we go.
I guess the alleyway ghost is some kind of Janitor? He eats up "impure" spirits (i.e. spirits that have had lingering regrets and long overstayed in the moral realm) so that they can be purified and go to heaven or reincarnate or whatever. Maybe that's why it looks so goddamn freaky, it's because it takes those impurities into itself.
Just because they looks like someone's anus doesn't mean they're malevolent entities. The Shrine Spirits/Kami proved that. The more malevolent entities act more erratically anyway. And these guys were nice enough to line up.
>looks like someone's anus
if I were you I won't bad mouth the spirit, user.
Fucking finally this is your damn job girlie!
>I see dead people
haha, wouldn't it be funny if a ghost touched her coochie?
haha
The segment with the cat and the scary-looking guy is still my favorite. It's amazing.
We already got a pervert ghost
haha, yeah, but what if the ghost put his peenus weenus in her coochie, haha
wouldn't that be funny
haha twitter is that way haha
End.
>Ghost noticed she could see/hear him
Oh boy
user, I don't care what kind of social media you're using
It's weird, but nice to see her happy.
Best page, thanks for the dump.
I hope the author can keep these small human stories coming while fleshing out the mechanisms of the afterlife, he could have some really interesting fiction here.
The horror angle is pretty nice, but it would be cool if she grew confident in her ability and used it for more stuff like this. I guess in an indirect way though, since directly dealing with spirits would break the premise.
Then again in the ghost clearly saw what he did there.
Who cares, I can't see them.
She's huge.
So the eating ghost thing might not be malevolent after all
can you see it? files.catbox.moe
It's just ghost subway
See what?
the ghost behind her, user.
Great! I love how her thought bubble appears too.
It seems like an afterlife express is all. A morbid one though.
That's neat.
cute and spooky
Ghost rape when
What did the shrine god meant when it said "three times?"
Proper shrine etiquette, something about bowing and clapping.
Did she at least clean up the shrine as gratitude for saving her titty friend?
OH SHI- nevermind, it's just a shriveled up granny.
How wholesome.
Welp. Thanks for the dump.
The most scary spook was alzheimer's all along.
Bow three times, clap three times. There's some discussion about it in the comments on MDex.
>ヤバい!ヤバい!!
I still want to grind my dick against that wall.
Why is she even worried about the ghost knowing she can see them when they go through her anyway?
How?
If you aknowledge them they aknowledge you
It's basically old folklore about spirits only being able to affect you if you let them
Damn that poor old lady is cute, it makes me feel bad.
Thanks for the dump!
Well, that was a wholesome chap- Never mind then. I guess getting eaten by one of those things is one way of get wandering souls to the afterlife.
Mieruko is going to have to feed her dad to it
If spirits are ever bothering her again, she just has to say beetlejuice three times to get some help.
What's the last panel suppose to mean?
Neat. Rarely do I find good lenticular printing ads.
Sweet.
It might be the moon?
Anime dripping soon?
For now.
Need a crossover with this series, MC will probably freak her out though
You guys know what would improve this manga?
If the true main character was actually a teenage boy who saves and protects her from the ghosts.
She then falls for him and the story becomes a battle shounen.
It's pretty clear at this point that most of the spirits/what they do isn't malevolent, it's just that they all look much more horrifying that people would assume. A good example is the Kitsune in the shrine episode being a giant eldritch monster, but yet still helps her out and even playfully chastises her for not following proper shrine procedure.
>and even playfully chastises her for not following proper shrine procedure.
Isn't there a bunch of other interpretations of what it said, some of which aren't all that playful?
Plot twist: It turns out Anaconda can also see ghosts and he teaches Miko how to body slam and suplex ghosts to exorcise them
he's /ourguy/, truly based ossan
It being a horrifying creature and yet all it does is sprinkle leaves on her head is perfectly in line with the supversion of expectations the author is now going with (this chapter, for example).
Also, the "three times" translation directly lines up with this, since it would mean it's simply reminding her she needs to pray three times normally. It could also have implied it specifically is only going to help her three more times, but that still isn't malevolent.
Moon = Tsuki
suki = I love you
Or it's just the moon
She wished for four things, maybe it's going to take something away as equivalent exchange because she wished for more than three.
They were really popular in the 80's but kind of disappeared, a plastic is printed with a ridged edge, like ".vvvvvvvvvv." and two seperate images printed on to it, one on the "Left facing panels" and one on the "Right facing panels." As a result, if you look at it from the right, you see the right facing image clearly, but if you move over to the left you can see only the left facing image clearly.
Both images contain Mieruko, but only the left facing images contain the ghost, so at first glance from the right angle you see nothing (Just the right facing image) and then when you move yousee the left facing image.
Have you never seen those kind of posters? its a pretty simple thing
mangadex.org
>In fact, it's not even clear that he's saying "three times". There are a number of other synonyms; "dispersal", in the sense of ghosts being exorcised (he just caused the ghost to disperse), "welcome (to my shrine)", or even "adjournment". Either way it's unclear and left as an exercise for the reader.
I remember way back one of my cereal boxes has a star wars version of it.
>a plastic is printed with a ridged edge, like ".vvvvvvvvvv." and two seperate images printed on to it, one on the "Left facing panels" and one on the "Right facing panels."
It turns out they're actually fancier than that:
en.wikipedia.org
Goddamn I just want Miko to be happy and not scared
I am glad no one of you faggots responded to that blatand baid up there.
Even if they couldn't touch her, it would still suck having ghost follow her around all the time.
I see it's just the moon.
kinda pointless little page to it, guess the author feels he still needs the fanservice friend around every chapter just to be sure.
my interpretation is "it's already late, that's all the story for that night"
as if we needed any more confirmation that the story was done for the night?
10000 combinations isn't that bad to try them all.
Wow
I remember my pogs with those
Add clock and counterclock turns
Think about trying them all while you're riddled with alzheimer's and can't remember the last number you checked.
spoopy
Do they sell those posters?
Her daughter could try some each day, and it's better than just having a safe with unknown items left there forever.
I want to fuck the shrine maidens.
Potentially risky, but also potentially worth it.
>Line photo is of her and her children
Well... That's just...
Whats wrong with that
Think about why and when she took it.
I don't get it.
Still don't get it.
Think about why it's only the 3 of them.
She would be such a good fuck it's ridiculous. Especially since she's just looking for a break from her delusions. You just tell her to close her eyes and you'll take the pain away. And she will continue to come back for that brief moment of peace once she finds it. While she won't be enjoying your dick as much as the monsters in here head taking a break, who cares what she's thinking anyway.
maybe she just doesn't want friends to ask her about the husband every time she texts them?
This looks interesting and spooky and I like to get spooked. Can someone pls give me a quick rundown?
It's a short horror gag manga with the occasional tearjerker moment
It's sixth sense Shiburin.
>shiburin
kill yourself
Why are you so angry? That has been the inside joke in these threads for ages.
what, are the japanese shipping them together instead of a platonic relationship full of casual handholding in the missionary position?
You mean Spooky enjo kosai? Picked the fuck up
Miko was made for EK
She has more personality than Shitburin
>handholding in the missionary position
some poster in the older threads said it might be like a gateway to the other side and not necessarily a final end to their existence.
I hope off this the author gets a non-gimmick manga, because they're actually very talented and I'd love to see what they do with more of a narrative.
posted this in maybe last mieruko thread, what do you think? twitter.com
Wow Kira sure let himself go in this manga
She's not delusional, those guys are real and affecting the real world, hell, we saw two characters see them too. And she gets information she could not possibly know, this very chapter.
The ghosts got too powerful, I blame mieruko for not doing anything.
left ambiguous, but on another viewing the two cat spirits might not be saying "no bow", but rather one is nodding "yes" and the other is shaking their head for "no"
I like the dispersion translation better. Miko was praying for help with the spirits and the god did a purification ritual with the leaves, basically saying
>ok I drove those shits away like you asked
Are there still now lewds?
>he didn't have any holos as a kid
Yes. Palm to Palm.
Interlacing their fingers would be dangerous because they would become pregnant.
That's some really cool monster design
maybe that's how they get to heaven after they finish their last request on earth. He wanted his wife to remember and with that he skedaddles to heaven by getting eaten. It may be a bit macabre, but we don't pick how the world works, we just work with how it works.
well there's probably a way back regardless. Miko's dad had to be somewhere all that time the year he was gone.
I want to haunt miko-chan
I thought she had been purified from her powers.
Or did I miss a chapter?
Shrine god only purified a curse.
What, how did you even come to that conclusion? That would end the entire manga.
oh
the wording was weird back then and I missed the following talks
you're either a zoomer or live in a third world shithole
>that overhand
Based artist
ain't no one gonna #metoo anaconda anaguma
This manga is becoming quite popular so chances are good.
Why is Mieruko's pose so cute?
she's a very cute girl
you've been infected with the weeb affinity for pigeon feet
How long until we get a sort of Detective Conan moment?
Miko turns into a loli?
I still don't get what goat god did to her. Protection against malefic spirits?
Any reason why her dad doesn't like like a creepy ghost like this dude?
They get grosser over time, I think.
Depending on the time of the year it was, he could have been visiting for Obon and that thing with him was his ride to/from the afterlife
ok I'll go with that if the manga doesn't clear it up later
She started seeing IT after her father died, so it's probably something inherited, and Mieruko dad was more enlightened a spirit than the average Joe. He had a halo over him.
This have a physical release anywhere in the west?
I wonder if she can actually touch them.
So far she just phases through right? She's only terrified because of how they look. We do know that they can feed off of the life energy of people though, that's why Hana eats so much.
She can't
chisai ojisan can touch coins
THE NUMBERS OBAASAN
I want that poster
Interesting point yeah.
That is the same shyster granny from the stall that closed down after she lost her last shred of pride right?
the psychic one? no different granny
Nah different old lady.
Keep your Yea Forums imbecile-talk in Yea Forums.
The mental fortitude of this poor girl.
>three times
what did he mean by this?
No clue, but it is very ominous and will probably become relevant later.
He's done this sort of thing three times. He was trying to humble brag, but awkwardly mumbles.
You're not meant to know. Spirits being weird and doing fucked up shit for no clear logical reason is a trope as old as time.
what if the spirit gave him powers to directly interact with spirits so she could them or something?
I mean, this chapter spirit could touch her.
I want to give her a hug, but damn I enjoy seeing her frightened face a bit.
Between this chapter, the shrine god, and the father I love the sweet side of this it compliments the horror so well, like hot fudge on ice cream.
Do your best, Mieruko-chan!
So can her fat friend kill ghosts with her aura? It shows she can burn the small to medium sized ones.
I thought the big one was using the little ones to suck up her life energy and then eating the little ones like some kind of sponge.
Her aura attracts the spirits but if they get too close to her/touch her the weaker ones will burn up. Whereas the stronger spirits don't seem all that affected by her aura
The way I see it is spirits, like those tiny old guys, and the ones in the shrine can make contact with physical objects, while souls wandering around will just pass through them.
The cat guy was cute as well.
No. Her lifeforce burns so fiercely it burns ghosts to a crisp. The snail ghost was using her as a walking open fire.
Interesting interpretation, didn't think of that.
This chapter was FUCKED up.
lewds when
more like a frog loitering near a lantern to catch moths.
No need for interpretation. Look.
Never, Mieruko-chan has enough on her plate without having to worry about being lewded.
She fries them quickly too.
Was he really evil though? He was actually trying to stop her from going in.
she doesn't just attract spirits, but Gals as well
Ah I didn't look closely then. And then later on the little guys say "so warm" when they approach Hana so that makes sense. I wonder why the ghost even bothers to cook them. Maybe they taste better when they have that life energy in them.
He was using her as a food source, so it was more likely that he didn't want to share her than trying to protect her from her
To me it seemed more like it was doing a "don't worry i'll take care of any ghosts" gesture than a "don't go in there"
of anaguma?
I think it was more he didn't want his food source to be in danger or die.
I enjoy this picture much. Brims with wholesomeness.
When it gets an anime.
>I wonder why the ghost even bothers to cook them.
Dude... he's toasting marshmellows.
>you will NEVER have a ghost s'more with your spirit bros over the life flame of a qt
what's the point
Bros...
That's very cool.
>plop
god I wish that were me
Maybe getting lewded would help her take off her mind off things. I volunteer for the test.
>nee-san.....
>say nothing kyousuke
Cute!
Do sperm have souls?
I live in a third world shithole and we had those. I even had some school notebooks with that.
>a single "word" can mean 3 times, dispersal, welcome and adjournment
Fucking Japanese
I just want to bully Mieruko-chan until she's a sobbing mess.
>Miko is asking for big favors, so she dishes out a 100 yen coin instead.
The little details.
I totally missed that
What a good girl
>I'll do anything
see? she's officially ok with getting lewded
What a horrible thing to say about someone who needs to do SAN checks every turn.
I'd check if her SAN is intact if you know what I mean
You lost me
I need to go reread this chapter now. Why is this shit so fucking good.
it's fun to see cute girls in distress
Oh god, I want to be friends Hana.
>Screen reflects in her pupils
Cute detail
That's 500 yen.
Really? I thought that a 1, not a 5.
Gotta zoom and squint real hard but it is.
Back then the crow also took 500 yen protection fee.
Yes, you can tell by the size of the coin
I want anal sex with this girl while some creppy shit watch
That's Immortal Girl and her Contract With the 100 Demons. At least, I think that's the title. Can't be bothered to check.
I would also point out that it's a full moon
and that might be why the ghost was able to tell she could see/hear him
That's a shitty idea.
Sadness but also fluffy and nice
>pan to sky, change scene
Sounds about right
Think this will end in yuri?
I hope whoever thought of this got a raise.
Fuckoff
No, incest.
Miko is constantly surrounded by phantoms. She'd make Mieruko's life a living hell.
Is the right answer. Her brother will become a Paranormal Investigator when he gets older and dedicate everything to her.
That sounds like something Nitroplus would write.
The medium's grandson will show up and become her love interest.
With the shrine maidens.
I tell you these people stink, and BAD.
please let there be a real plot soon
it suprised how the father wasn't molesting her
It's not like she picked up a hobo or something. The only time I ever came across a really stinky old person was when we had to rescue one who was abandoned by her grandkid.
Too long.
She's not American.
What if we only get ghost lewds?
I have yet to encounter a not stinky old person with dementia. I work with those.
it's infinite energy!
Sounds like you have shitty nurses.
No one stays wih us.
Even swine do not smell badly if you keep them clean. The same goes for the elderly who are no longer masters of themselves.
Maybe her dad didn't have any regrets before passing away.
Maybe the more time a soul spends time in the living realm, the more they deteriorate. Her dad already passed on so he looks fine, and only visiting the family for Obon.
>kirin in otoutou's shirt
So that weird thing was a kirin?
I think you have no idea what I am talking about.
he just likes animal shirts
Reading this is so much scarier after playing forbidden siren
Yeah, but that's a giraffe.
An angel.
I just wanna bully her so bad
I wish someone would at least notice how agitated she is and just give her a hug. Just knowing that someone at least can see that you're in distress can help a lot.
Makes me wonder how Mieruko will react when she visits a church and finds out what angels actually look like.
yay
>manga devolves into yet another hurr durr all religion is bad circle jerk
pass
Probably some aspect of familiarity, she knew her father and his "spirit" well when he was alive, but this was a stranger.
"Do not be afraid".
She screams in horror and faints.
cooooooooool
She's the one person who wouldn't faint, she's got nerves of steel.
She will ignore him, though. The angel might be pissed about it.
Or maybe Christianity is wrong and Shinto is right, and she won't see anything.
no, ss.
You have a point there. Since angels are lovecraftian horrors, I thought that they might be too much for her mind.
Which kind?
No spirit touched her in this chapter. All we learned is “dark” spirits are capable of positive emotion and are lucid to an extent
Maybe she'll see spirits trying to shape themselves as angels, to possibly pretend to be them or to mock them.
Could you imagine some grudge looking ghost trying to shapeshift some wings and in a gargling voice sing "gloooooooria"
Well, I'm not an expert on the Old Testament, but I think people there mostly don't faint from angels, even if they're fucking scared.
If it isn't Lovecraftian as in "lol you go mad it's in the cosmic rules puny human brain", then she's probably gonna manage. Also, in Christianity humans are mostly awesome fuckups (in god's image, immortal souls, yet tainted with sin), so going mad from mere sight of angels probably wouldn't make much sense thematically either.
That would work if, and only if, they fail hard at pretending to be angels. For extra horror.
The common reactions when someone looks at an angel according to scripture is to a) Faint b) Scream your lungs out c) Fall over dead.
She's not a dyke, she loves Mr. Anaguma.
Really? Well, maybe she would faint then.
At least she's got a chance, I think. Depending on how cool you need to be to take an angel in stride.
Probably the you must bow 3 times, 3 claps etc...
I want to see Anaconda Anaguma fucking in a vanilla way Mieruko's Mom.
Me entering in /paranormal.
This is why they have kanji.
huh, apparently i have 5 yen sitting around... i almost forgot i had it till I saw that pic
I hope this doesn't become bakemonogatari where the paranormal threats become existential dread
it's a fun series and not pretentious bullshit so I doubt it'll get to that
Not their fault western pigdogs are too stupid to understand contextualized words
>monotony
I could watch a cute esper piss herself in fear forever and ever
>mfw molested on train
yo same
Maybe you're a ghost
>molested by a ghost
That's actually fucking hot, wish I could draw
Do it anyways, pussy.
