Derodero

Derodero

A horror comedy manga about a middle school delinquent Hino Mimio, who’s enhanced sixth sense frequently gets him mixed up with ghosts and apparitions.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

Before Rensuke Oshikiri became famous for Hi Score Girl he focused on a lot of horror and comedy series. It’s fitting that he got his start with this horror comedy hybrid Derodero. It’s filled with hilarious jokes that poke fun at horror cliches and take advantage of many spooky urban legends in Japan. The chapters are short vignettes that either end with Hino getting punked by a ghost or Hino punking the ghost. It’s all hilarious.

Since this is Oshikiri’s debut his artwork is still pretty green but it was interesting to see how where he started from. I really enjoyed this.
