"The Manga From the Vault".
Fake Documentary Q is a YouTube channel that makes horror mockumentary-style videos. They often have a twist both in the story, and in the background, needing you to pay attention and rewatch the videos to catch it.
They've recently started a new project, "Q: Contact Us If You Recognize This Manga". Each chapter will feature a new "real" manga with a mystery attached.
This is the first.

The publishing recession.
Before the popularization of e-books and tablets---
The paper publishing industry reached its peak nationwide in 1996, after which came a steady fall,
compelling many publishers to either merge with each other or go bankrupt.

One among them was Company H,
a Tokyo publisher who mainly published listings aimed at housewifes and hobby magazines.
When the trustee in bankruptcy* delved into Company H---
*The person who holds the rights to manage and liquidate assets during the bankruptcy procedure.
he discovered a manga draft inside an envelope in their vault.

"Fourth Reincarnation Journal: Tsubaki"

With the possibility of this being a famous author's handwritten manuscript in mind, he proceeded with the property value investigation,
but no matter where he looked, he found no evidence to back it up.
The sender was a woman, and her apartment's address was written down--- those were the only leads to be found.

[Kanagawa Prefecture, Yamato City
Villa 201
Taeko]
The actual envelope
Sender is Miss Taeko (censored)

By the time the trustee inquired with her apartment building, she already had stopped residing in it.

*Background is only for visualizing purposes

In the end, why this manga was stored in the company's vault remains a mystery.
20 years later, the safekept manuscript
was obtained by an Ichijinsha editor via an acquaintance.
The following pages were taken directly from the manuscript.

Every manga published in this series either belongs to but was unreleased by Ichijinsha, or was acquired by a member of the editorial department from individuals in the industry.

And that's it for the first chapter.
Here are my thoughts:
I'm kinda mixed. I think the execution is suberb most of the time, and the double twist of "she's mentally ill" to "she was actually haunted" works, but I can't help but feel the story itself is a bit trite. Still looking forward to the next chapter.

Btw, if you look closely, you can see dates on the photos
I've spotted the latest at 2004, which either means Company H lastest quite a while after the 1996 peak, or maybe the author went after the people who owned the manga and kept updating it.

The ghosts are real so she's no schizo, but whether they're telling the truth about her being a reincarnation and people being mass possessed by evil spirits or if they're just fucking with her for laughs is ambiguous.
>>
I think the ghosts are real in the author's world, but I think that it points toward it being insanity in the manga's narrative. We don't really see anything suggesting that the "dark spirits" are actually doing anything - wouldn't her life be much worse if she was living with two of them her whole life?
Though maybe ch.2 will come out and I'm completely off.

Anyway thank you very much OP, I was just going through a FDQ rewatch. I wonder how this ties into the main series, beyond the recurring motif of faces being blurred or distorted (which is just kinda basic for japanese horror anyway)

As usual the manga and obvious story connections are surface level. There are plenty of numbers here that tie into the number theory of the timeline which connects these all together. 4 pops up a lot as the dates on the photos match the other videos as well.

Speaking of which, what is your favorite video? Mine is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkGnG7qKVyk

The dedication to the twist is fucking nuts and watching it with the brightness on and seeing all the people hiding is creepy as fuck.
>>
I love their YouTube so much and this seems very interesting as well. Will probably end up being my favorite pieces of horror media ever

Actually, I forgot to say that, although this is the "first" chapter, there was a chapter 0 that got deleted for some reason. Personally, I found it to be very incomplete compared to this one, so maybe that was the problem.
Either way, I'll begin posting it now.

"We are looking for the person who drew this manga"
In February of 2002, an unfamiliar envelope was delivered to Mr. K's house in S Town (former M Village), a community of around 3000 residents.
Since no addressee or sender was written, it was believed to be submitted directly.
Inside it was a draft for a manga and a piece of stationary with "Please read." scribbled on it.
(*It is unknown who the author, "Takatoshi Orikawa", is.)
For what purpose was this manga sent to Mr. K's house? It is a complete mystery.

Please read.

"Area 51" is a secret base located in the Nevada test site, Grem Lake.
This is a region hidden under a veil of secrecy, where UFOs are often sighted.
Area 51 is, so to speak, a UFO laboratory.
The Cayce family has moved from the American state of Utah to the vicinity of Grem Lake, Nevada, not very far from "Area 51".

Here are some of my notes:

>>282596951: "Please read" or "Yonde kudasai (よんで下さい)"
Strangely, "kudasai (please)" is written with a kanji, while the verb is left ambiguous. It's possible it means "Please call" instead, or as a Japanese speaker theorized, "Please die". His theory is that the "yo" comes from the number 4, whose other reading is "shi", homophonous with "death".

>>282596972: "Takatoshi Orikawa" or "織川降智"
Japanese names have many possible readings, not to mention that each character has its own meaning. Orikawa, meaning "weaving river", can also be read as Origawa. Takatoshi, meaning "rising wisdom", could be "Ryuuchi" or "Takatomo". There doesn't seem to be a pun, except that "Ryuuchi" is homophonous with "imprisonment".
Also, another Japanese commenter noticed that トム&クーピー looks eerily similar to the radicals that compose 仏&死 (Buddha & Death)

>>282596990: Grem Lake or "グレームレイク"
Likely a typo of "Groom Lake", Area 51's nickname.

>>282597027: "Now, hand him ov3r." or "さぁー渡してもらをうか"
There's a bizarre typo in the original, where an を somehow replaced an お. Here's the thing: they sound the same, but nobody would make this mistake since を is only really used as a particle.

>>282597050: "Don't plant o!" or "气の内だ!"
This is even more bizarre, as not only is the first character unfinished, "nai", meaning "no(t)", is written as 内 (inside), another mistake no Japanese person would make. It's possible the author is a child, however, which could potentially explain these mistakes.
>>
>>282597069
The last one is clearly 今の内だ
>>
>>282597158
Bruh, I can't believe I made this mistake. I'll be sure to fix this before it's scanlated.
>>
>>282597069
Also I think もらをうか was totally fine until the orthographic reforms of 1940s. Might be worth to try translate to some old-timey stuff instead.
>>
>>282597571
That's strange, considering the paper has 1988 written on it
>>
>>282597954
I'm not saying it was drawn that far back, just a different way to adapt the mistake.
>>
>>282596972
The cover art and the artstyle look different enough , could it be two different people?
>>
>>282597571
>>282598067
Checking up on the reform, if this was written in an older fashion, it would actually be as もらあう

This thread is too high effort for /a/.
OP should be ashamed.
