Prelude to war.
>>288546642finally, the chapter was very amazing.
>>288546738Was she on her knees?
>>288546738She is insanely hot
>>288546738Thats so retarded
>>288546927Magical toenails?
>>288547042>>288547067Poor dudes.
>>288547243FUCK
>>288547324Oh that's creepy.
>>288547083>>288547102Hell yeah, Miko's girlfriend is back
>>288546738>the twist is she's uber tallOk, I like it.
>>288547243NOOOOOOOOO
>>288546738!!!
The Calvary's finally arrived (Fox God knows Miko's gonna need it). End.
I want to ask Miko out while she pretends not to see me.
>>288547324I wasn't sure it was the ojisan that had got our boy before at the zoo, but I guess it was. This is actually very good news! Ojisan choosing to pick off and weaken Miko's protection squad means that it didn't want to take all of them in a fight at once. If they didn't act as a defense against the ojisan, it would have just bulldozed through them.So this means that as scary as ojisan is, he must have a weakness. His tactics imply that he doesn't trust his own ability to just outright overpower them.
>>288546947>Thats so retardedBut it's fukken hot as shit.>>288546800Buttocks visible through thigh gap.

His tactics imply that he doesn't trust his own ability to just outright overpower them.On the other hand, picking off a solitary member while vulnerable then wearing it's form as a costume to approach Miko implies an "intelligence" above and beyond a destructive natural force acting on cause and effect or instinct. Imagine if a Prion Disease had Free Will in how it operated.
>>288547496Someone's going to die by the end of the arc.
>>288547865I assume Seto is the one borrowing time. He and his mystery niggas would solve way too much shit happening to Miko if they stayed around
All fat ojisans must be destroyed.
Odds of spics releasing their translation first?
>>288548875100% how is it even a question
>>288548875>spics/a/ has gone soft, if you really want to insult them these days you have to call them lantinx.
>>288547375The pacing has been slow enough for most of the manga that it's shocking to have a direct interaction with ojisan who's showing himself to the whole group at once. It's interesting how this page >>288547355is shown from ojisan's POV but apparently it sees nothing?
>>288548178rude
As someone who wears glasses the idea of letting anything between the pads and my nose let alone hair be there is absurd.
>>288546738She needs to fuck Miko's brother NOW!
>>288546738>gloomy, tall and unkept meganekkoGod YES
>>288546738>PO!
>>288546927substitutes!
I'm waiting for let's ghooooo anon
>>288550759MIB can block perception
>>288546927I know we saw her use these back on the mountain, but how she makes them adds depth and out of context makes her look more like a normal old granny.>>288547393Looks like some protective spirit barriers have been set up in this construction area where Miko & Seto escaped to.
Miko status?
>>288555766Afraid and on the verge of tears (so normal).
>>288546738ROMM, DON'T CHEAT ON JULIA, THAT'S BAD!
>>288546738How does dressing like this protect her against spirits?
>>288556209the low pH smell keeps wards them off
>>288547309Noooo! Which glowie lost his arm?
>>288548026I'm apprehensive about Mitsue myself.
>>288547083Asserting dominance straight away, sasuga Michiru!
>>288547570I doubt it. I think acknowledgement is a key rule of the series. If Miko doesn't acknowledge the spirit, they cannot directly confront her. They can only indirectly try killing her.
>>288557473What about the shota hunter ghost? I don't think Kyousuke had noticed her.

I saw Reida-san.>Is Reida-san...>>288547450>He no longer exists.>We're going to figure out our situation>and come up with a plan>about what we ought to do from now on.*clench*>Because of me...>>288547470>You said it,>to have them *all* on guard duty.>That's why now>you are here.>Words of regret>are an insult to Reida-san.>It's not your fault,>>288547496>Miko.>Right, right.>Since you're just your ordinary high school girl.>Mitsue-san,>Romm-san.(They're all gathered.)With each of their preparations done, now is the time for a counterattack plan.
>>288557906I dunno. I gathered this was the main reason why Mr.Death Oji-san didn't already spirit her away was because she constantly ignored it, thus not giving it explicit permission to do with her as it pleases. Can't think of any other reason. This has been one of the key mechanics of the series. I'm not sure how extensively it's applied and what the exact rules are. Don't think that was completely explained yet.
>>288547083best girl is here
>>288547496I guess we truly have entered the shounen arc
So Reida-san got slimed and the ojisan/death/reaper ghost then was able to disguise as him to try and get the jump on Miko?
>>288558298Seems that way. Perhaps that's why it appears differently to other people. The only reason I can think of for it changing its appearance to Reida was to make Miko acknowledge its existence. A simple wave and calling it by name would've sufficed.
>>288547290Was Boute-san going to get corrupted if his arm wasn't cut off? Or was he just going to die like Reida-san did?
>>288558397Who knows? Both possibilities suck.
>>288558048Thanks TL-Anon. Have this "Miko"-flavored Miko-chan as a token of appreciation.
>>288546872>>288546927Love a good prep sequence.>>288547083Oh shit, the legal wife is back. Nice.Hope that won't mean our boys time is running out, I always figured she was taken out to make space for other protectors.>>288547290Good Oji-san vs. Evil Oji-san! >>288547324Okay thats pretty badass.Such a great chapter, thanks for the dump and TL. But it feels like almost entering endgame, I hope its just this arc.
>>288547388>girlfriendAnon I...
>>288547652>On the other hand, picking off a solitary member while vulnerable then wearing it's form as a costume to approach Miko implies an "intelligence" above and beyond a destructive natural force acting on cause and effect or instinct. Imagine if a Prion Disease had Free Will in how it operated.That or it could simply be parasitic by nature
>>288546673>288557935>Did she see something here?>She saw Shiro.>You remember?>My poster cat.>*bark*>*rustl rustle*>*pant pant*>>Did you have a poster dog?>*pant pant*>I have a dog allergy.Kek>>288546738>This is but a curio shop.>We ain't a shop specialized in cursed objects.>The stuff in the storehouse aren't for sale either>and since I can't sell them I just let them sleep.>>288546825>>288557971>All of the stuff in here>are what you called things with "questionable history".>For me they're just worthless things unrelated to business.>I don't mind you taking whatever catches your fancy but don't give 'em to other people.How rare. In these sorts of stories you don't often encounter a cursed item merchant that has a conscience and is straight forward about the hazards of their goods or "bads" rather.
>>288558353Now I'm wondering how it managed to look like Hana. Or maybe it was just a dead girl who looked like Hana from behind.
>>288546947FAGGOT ALERT, FAGGOT ALERT
>>288555766sadly not peeing her pants this chapter.
>>288546673Why a dog though. I thought it was a cat.
>>288559472not to call you an absolute fucking retard but the joke is that she originally mistook the shop owner's dead pet for a dog as it is very clearly a dog spirit and now Romm is doing the same.Please get checked out for early onset dementia at whatever fucking age you are you clueless fucking retard.
>>288547290My fuarking hero!
Remember we still have the tidbit about ghost daddy.My guess is if someone need to die this arc it's him.
>>288558535Cute MikoMiko!>>288559026Hana's dead twin sister she doesn't talk about.
>>288546642>>288547496
>>288546642Finally
>>288559472For some reason felines in this story never seem to become as corrupted as canines. At worst they become nekomata like those of that one thug-looking widower but even the Blind Lion at the zoo stayed normal in spirit. Whereas the dog spirits either end looking like this centipede thing or François,
>>288563559Yeah, but dog spirits actually become badasses able to keep spooky ghosts in check
Miko my wife
>>288566137You don't need to brag Michiru
Not yet.
>>288546642IS THAT ROMM THE SCHIZO?! I want more rapehorse dog backstory kino and why the grim reaper looks different for miko's dad than he does for miko-chan
>>288547141What is Aoyama's problem?
Next season doko
>>288554153He's late!
>>288556647Mitsue's time was as the fox arc. Since she passed that she won't die
>>288559867Wait I thought the joke is that the spirit was never the owner's cat but Rom just lied to soothe her. Also given that it's apparently a powerful guardian but the owner doesn't know, I guess it's an inherited family spirit
>>288572600He's sad over the loss of their comrade Reida-san (and also has to be double uptight on-guard now since he was their look-out).
Why haven't the glowie squad called in a team of SWAT ghosts?
>>288558353NTA but in the picture it had a difference appearance to Romm than it did to miko. Yet this time Seto/Miko/black men all perceive it as Reida-san at the same time. I wonder what the difference is.
>>288558048Thank you for the translation!
>>288571065uoh
>>288546642LEEEEEETS GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>288547161>tentacle wavingCUTE
>>288555766panties: unpissed
So, what is ojisan??
>>288582652OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTO!thank you
>>288547243:(>>288547258>>288547269I wonder what we can learn about Oji-san from this. This form of attack should help insinuate what kind of spirit he is.
>>288582652>>288585168
>>288584148We just don't know.
>>288547496Thank you for posting!
What are the odds of the anime continuing?
>>288546738Imagine the smell
>>288590990I bet her carpet is as thick and shaggy as the drapes.>>288590543>What are the odds of the anime continuing?I mean DG got a S2 and there was that rumor on FB awhile back. The Live Action film's BD just came out a bit ago too.
>>288591169Live Action for Mieruko?
>>288558535very cute
>>288592544NTA but yeah, that was a thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI_ofPsH8OY
>>288593756Adding a guy OC to focus the story on him was such a weird choice
>>288594591Was he supposed to be an audience self-insert or something? I don't see why they'd do that unless he was a very popular actor maybe.
Dark Gathering crossover when
>>288597878Give me the triple crossover with Kaya-chan!It would make for an awesome standalone film and would do big numbers.
>>288546738was this really necessary
If the author was truly based he'd have drawn her with visible pubes sticking out from her panties
>>288599035Kaya-chan alone would be an invincible bodyguard for Miko
>>288600429Well he isn't allowed to sexualise Miko anymoreGotta keep the reader interested somehow
>>288600429Yes, as was this.
>>288600814>Well he isn't allowed to sexualize Miko anymoreWhere did you get this schizo theory explanation? Did something happen while i was taking a break from this manga?
>>288602721From some posts on twitter last yearhttps://x.com/izumi000/status/1940633822535864653https://x.com/izumi000/status/1940641529141559670https://x.com/izumi000/status/1940643106522911029
>>288603569the way he describes this is hilarious to me/
>>288603569>draw a bunch of fanservice shots>now readers think my manga is ecchiFraming it as "isn't allowed" or "bitching" seems wrong, it's more like he's kicking himself for being a dumbass. But it's not uncommon for manga to be sexier at the start and tone it down quick. I always assumed those cases were an editor's attempt to make the manga stand out with sex appeal.
real ones know that the sexiest shots are closeups of Miko's eyes
>>288546642I completely forgot this manga existed. Its weird release schedule (seemingly every 2-3 months) completely ruins its popularity, especially since there's no set date for new chapters (eg: "a new chapter exactly every 60 days").
>>288547496it's time to save the world
>>288605014>real ones know that the sexiest shots are closeups of Miko's eyesand lips
Is been 5 days, where is the spic translation?
>>288605610>Where's the translation?Someone Spic it out!!
>>288603569what's the point of doing it now since were way past the 1st 3 volumes / anime?
>>288605065>I completely forgot this manga existed. Its weird release schedule (seemingly every 2-3 months) completely ruins its popularity, especially since there's no set date for new chapters (eg: "a new chapter exactly every 60 days").I can forgive Izumi-sensei since his time is currently divided raising a family with 3(?) very young children with all of it's associated trials/tribulations like so (picrel):https://x.com/izumi000/status/2058153274495434949https://x.com/izumi000/status/2058157968307429663Plus the page count per update is substantive and the art contained within is immaculate, so I wouldn't want him to rush that or the story just to satisfy the some slave driver editors like exist at WSJ, etc. I think Web Publication + Tank Sales really suits him.
>>288606854Also the chapter update is #1 on Nico Rankings, as per usual.https://x.com/izumi000/status/2063072874865582301
>>288546642LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>288563559Dogs are closer to humans, in both senses, so they can end up more corrupted in the same ways as them. Cats, even domesticated, remain apart enough that they can't be touched by the same forces. I guess horses would be somewhere in between, but they'll probably never show up.
>>288546673>>288546685That is not a cat.
>>288546847>the 'dog' is actually a powerful guardian spirit Good to know he's creepy, but still nice.
>>288606854>>288606873Well, good for him, I guess. I'm getting this for free, so beggars can't be choosers.
>>288547118Cute dog.>>288547141Aoyama...
>>288547243IT GOT OUR BOY NOOO
>>288547290ENTER
>>288547496OUR HEROES
>>288547570I think it really just wanted to fuck with her, rather than being concerned about their combined power. Note that even with the rest together, they could do nothing to stop it from directly targeting Boute and costing him his arm (maybe more if Seto wasn't there). It was entirely humoring them during that encounter.
>>288607525>That is not a cat.I don't know what you're talking about.It's got the pointed ears, the triangle-shaped nose, the tail, paws, and everything. Clearly a cat if I've ever seen one.
>>288600429>>288601695Extremely necessary.
>>288608642Lmao.
page 10?fuck you!
>>288547324>reida is being skinwalked by this fuckthis sucksI can't believe I'm getting so attached to the ghost homies
>>288546738It’s funny how her speech pattern changes from “stereotypical little old lady” to “regular person” when she stands up straight
>>288603569i can't respect his bitching just to push some yuribait later on
>>288615781I dunno I really enjoy the old bob&vagene but I felt like the early part of the anime had too much fan service to the detriment of the story.I understand they have to rope viewers in but I feel kind of cringe recommending it to people because they start the first episode and it’s all ass shots
>>288600745It would be fun to see her dropping ghosts left and right as Yayoi watches beaming with pride.
>>288546642>warReally?
>>288617506>warwhat is it good for?
>>288618848Technological advancement
>>288618848Distracting from domestic politics.
>>288611347You just know Izumi has a private stash filled with Miko and Michiru lewds
>>288618848Fattening up the purses of the upper class.Killing the lower class.The middle class flips a coin.
>>288620810>You just know Izumi has a private stash filled with Miko and Michiru lewds...And Yuria?
>>288622136Yuria is but a mushroom! And a weird one at that.
>>288623306I bet there's at least one illustration of her being assailed by a giant tako-weiner in the tradition of Hokusai's "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife".
>>288600745She'd die brutally to Old Man Prion just by getting involved.
>>288546738Why won't she wear pants if she's cold?
>>288615259All my homies hate page 10
>>288623556>She'd die brutally to Old Man Prion just by getting involved.How would Yayoi fare? Romm nearly bit it just looking at some pics of him, and the only reason Seto is alright thus far is because he literally is Ghost Blind.
>>288626034Yayoi naturally has incredibly strong sight so if she doesn't know what they're dealing with and sees it, there's a chance she just dies on the spot. If she DOES know what she's up against, then she'd likely leave one of her ghosts (probably S-chan) to watch over Miko whilst building up a plan to weaken and contain it, if not kill. Whether or not it works is debatable.
