Mieruko-chan

Mieruko-chan

A manga about a high school girl who has to ignore evil spirits she can see to avoid being attacked.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

This series is a bit one-note but otherwise fun manga. Tomoki Izumi does a really decent job drawing creepy spirits. It helps accentuate titular Mieruko-chan‘s plight of pretending she doesn’t see the horrors around her. There’s even some more touching moments between her family that seems to be a good story hook. I’m not immediately reaching for the next volume of this series but I know I’ll enjoy it when I do.|

There’s currently an anime running right now but I was disappointed how they seem to be leaning heavily on fan service. I’ll stick with the manga.

Available in English from Yen Press.

Mieruko-chan

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.
