Mieruko-chan
I thought there was a thread already, but I checked all pages and either the thread was deleted or I overlooked it.
In any case, here you go: Mieruko-chan! Quote:
What is really great about this, so far 20 chapter long series, is that we "learn" only the same amount as Mieruko does. Meaning we have no exorcist or mentor telling us everything with a flashback or infodump. Mieruko sees a lot of weird things and more than often tries to not think about it because it is so scary, but to the readers it shows small glimpses of how the "ghost parallel world" might work or what is happening there without an in-series explanation. I show you a couple of examples: Spoiler for Scary examples:
Those are just from the first 3 chapters. Believe me, later there are far worse but also far sadder stuff that really kicks you in the feels. I think the releases are monthly and with only twenty chapters out it should be a breeze for most of you to read through. If you want to read a story about a normal, cute girl trying to live a normal life when said life turned up-side down all of the sudden and you are not a big scaredy-cat, this is a manga I recommend to to give a try.^^ Edit: Just a small correction but the MC's name is Miko-chan. Mieruko is probably a mix of two japanese words then.

Spoiler for Like this guy:
For now she has the fox girls keeping her safe but that is limited and we don't know what payment they would require to "hire again" if they would even accept that order again to begin with. But the girls sure are useful though their god seems far more powerful although it seems he cannot leave his shrine grounds? Like I said we don't know much about the ghosts and how they function and why they do so. Spoiler for Yay for spirit fox girls~:

Well, that was a creepy flash-back, poor kiddo, his mom was totally bonkers. But the hell happened at the end? I thought the teacher was the pet murdering possessed a-hole and then he dives to save a kitty from an in-coming car? Whaaaaaaaat? Next chapter with the explanation can't come fast enough, also wonder if Miko-chan woll use up her last protection by then or if it somehow resolves in another way.

Who would have expected that?^^
Now that all three favors are used up Miko needs to find a new way to protect herself and ofc Hana and co who are also in danger of spirits. Hope the teacher gets better/changes now that his mother's spirit is "purified" aka busted to pieces.

New chapter 24 finally out after a long time, big things are happening!
Ol'Baba is back in town and ready to wreck ghosts, yokai and spirits and anything else to help Miko and Hana. The shrine where Miko got the protection of the fox kamis "doesn't exist". We see a man who can clearly see the same monsters just like Miko can and he was the one who called for Baba and she knows him. And Julia has yet to hear the crushing news that Miko and Hana already watched the 2nd My Troll Neighbor movie without her...

If they would want to eat her why protect her three times? I think they want something else from Miko, either possess her or they want her do do some deeds for them they can't do as spirits in the real world. Like taking care of their shrine for example.
Let's not forget that Baba might have a wrong idea about some ghosts similar to how Julia can't see the real scary ones either and only the small stuff so her idea of ghosts isn't quite up o the reality Miko faces daily.

I didn't know there was a thread. Great! Its a pretty good series. It has me on my seat. This thread needs a picture on the first post btw.
Very detailed and thrilling. IMO it's like the author took elements from Odd Thomas, Six Sense and Corpse Party. Let me answer some of your questions, when she went to the shrine she prayed THREE times. You can check that chapter. Quote:
She made an offering and was granted 3 failsafes. But what after they're now gone? They can pull a Devil's Deal on her as she needs help and persuade her into accepting a "We'll help you without offerings but you'll have to pay tenfold" and that would explain why they're still following her, waiting for the opportunity to rise. Quote:
For example Spoiler for BIG SPOILER:
Also, the foxes are stalking MC. Her future looks gray.

Loved the weirdo magician, dude feels like a total scammer with his magical stones but Miko-chan saw their use immediately with the new creepy spirit. Glad she got one of them for free. Question is if they are like one-use-stones or can always be reused. Same question with what goal the fox spirits have with Miko. Hana's adorable as ever and I think she is right those two bunny dolls look tooooooooooootally different, am I right? XD
