Mieruko-chan

A manga about a high school girl Miko who tries her best at ignoring the horrific spirits she can see around her.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

I’m surprised with this book because it’s rare to find a good horror manga that works. The ghastly ghosts Tomoki Izumi draws are legitimately frightening and poor Miku can only try to pretend she can’t see them while freaking out inside her head. It leads to some tense horror as you wait for them to move on and she can cry safely at their passing. The series mixes these scares with comedy as Miku’s best friend Hana constantly keeps inviting ghosts around her and Miku has to improvise around them for her safety. There’s even a touching moment that involves Miku’s family members. All in all this is a really good horror series.
