The worst part about losing items is that don't know just who might find them...

>>283204488Been a while since I reread these first chapters. Guess the signs were really there all along
>>283205447I read this when it was going on and I never noticed the small details in his room until chapter 90~.
>>283205482>>283205487This is definitely one of those manga that are even more rewarding when (re)read from the beginning.

I don't want to interrupt the dump but thanks anon!I finished the manga when the latest chapter was finished and I still think I didn't fully understand what happened with the main character (besides the obvious)I'm waiting for ura baito drops... Godspeed
>>283206340Thanks for the bump and by all means react to any pages when you want to. These dumps can get kinda dull without discussion.
Ch. 7 - You'll note that one week has passed in-story.
Look I'm not saying anyone deserves to be haunted, but if a spirit of the departed were going to terrorize the living then...
>>283206340It's better if you comment while it's going (as long as you don't post pics) since there's a point where consecutive posts can no longer bump the thread.

Ch. 8
>>283205885An attempt was made at drawing abs.
>>283206725>An attempt was made at drawing abs.As with Kengan Omega it's more the thought that counts rather than the anatomical accuracy.
>Faces you can hear.
>>283205733Should've gotten a bigger box
Re-contextualizes that final fleeting smile she gave to her friend in the first panel of >>283206792 doesn't it?
I remember this. It was pretty good.
Ch. 9
>>283206933>studying to show the bullies and get beaten up harderT-thanks for the advice
>*Juujika no Rokunin PTSD flashbacks*
>>283206629There are some stories where characters got what they deserved. >>283206862And there are stories like this one.
>>283207034The rain falls equally upon the just it does the wicked.
>>283206862I mean she could ask her friends to call the police
>>283206889>>283206900Um, so was it rape? >>283206996>BL out of nowhere
ENTER BEST GIRL
>>283207057At least dude was nice enoough to not haunt the teacher
>>283207059>*spoilers*That is.......debatable.
Ch. 10
>>283207083Bullied in life to death, and in death bullied so much he needed to come back to warn the living.Shit sucks.
>>283205613>Recently lost a nail (it's growing back, don't worry)I experienced this horror firsthand (foot, actually), and man. This is way more terrifying in reality.
>>283207163Same, but it was my right hand thumb after an accident. Turned black as charcoal over several weeks and loosened until finally it slipped off with a new one underneath. Would not recommend.
>>283207091I just realized this is the official release. I thought it was censored because I could've swore there was a human shadow jumping to him and I checked the scanlation, but that is another one.
>>283207197Yes, the first 3 volumes are available in high quality scans so far. Will switch to scanlations thereafter, it's nice to see the differences in the official version from the fan translation if you followed it before.
Junji Ito, is that you?
Notice the subtle clocks hands' movements in the panels demonstrating the passage of time.
Bonus
>>283207187Mine never turned black. Just cracked it clean in half, mostly. Had a bed frame fall perfectly perpendicular to the base of my toenail. The crack was audible, and aside from a little left connected on the side, my toenail was like a gull wing door for almost three weeks. The urge to tear it off was there, I tell you what.Would definitely not recommend dropping a bed frame on your foot either.
Credits and End. Thanks for reading Vol. 1.If you'd like a physical copy of the volume feel free to grab it here as a Halloween gift:https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-That-Will-Death/dp/B0D4HHQGB2I'll start dumping Vol. 2 tomorrow around 3 PM CST.
>>283206946This is the when you call social services.Not that they'll fix anything, but this is when you call them.
>>283207443Thank you for posting, OP.
>>283205435All's well that ends well
>>283206113I didn't sign up for any horseplay
>>283206374Ahh, I've been bamboozled
>>283205134The listener is imprisoned?
>>283207368I've heard people say that, from a writing standpoint, comedy and horror are nearly identical. It's all about buildup and payoff.I'm enjoying this so far, so I'll hang around to read future storytimes.
>>283205304Since the clay can modify itself why didn't he just ask it to turn into a cute girl?
>>283213147You can't just ask your bro to turn into a cute girl, that's hella gay.
>>283207464>This is the when you call social services.>Not that they'll fix anything, but this is when you call them.Lel>>283212727>The listener is imprisoned?...From a certain point of view.>>283213136>I've heard people say that, from a writing standpoint, comedy and horror are nearly identical.

Also the better horror comedies like Mieruko-chan.
