My New Girlfriend Is Not Human? - Vol. 2 Ch. 94 - Sick joke

[IbnAurum]

This is some Meiruko-chan level stuff...

I teared up at that episode man 😢

 

[HunterCO]

The whip lash in emotions from the other manga I was reading to this was a bit too hard ...

 

[Amariithynar]

You don't let delusions go on forever. It's hard, but accepting it now with a casual "by the way, she's dead, you were hallucinating for 17 years" is nobody's idea of an easy letdown. I always say that the last person you should ever lie to is yourself. Shit like this becomes a problem. We'll see how it plays out, lads, it's a tragedy for sure.

She lived for 12 years of his life, and he left immediately after high school; only 6 years in an uncomfortable state where he acted like she was still alive and they thought it was just a coping mechanism. And now we know it's been 11 years since then because of that.

Glad that I wasn't quite right on the family situation and it was more quiet watching over him not contradicting him to let him cope, though.

 

[Liar]

I can't tell yet if there's genuinely a ghost present or he's really hallucinating because of unresolved trauma.

 

[F00M]

Damn...

 

[nathan67003]

We all knew this was coming.
We all didn't want it to be so anyway.

 

[PhycoKrusk]

I'm honestly perplexed why people are entertaining the idea that Haru is hallucinating. His mother is there, and she's a ghost, not a hallucination.

As outside observers, we have always seen the supernatural parts of this world. That is what our position from the outside allows us to do. Furthermore, we know that Haru can see ghosts; he's done it on at least 2 prior occasions.

So, given that we can see ghosts, and Haru can see ghosts, and that his father was very clearly asking her for guidance a couple chapters back, and that there's a chill in the air around her, why would the conclusion not be that she's a ghost?

 

[HenkumaEnthusiast]

For 17 whole years is crazy

 

[KingCarna]

God, the last panel with him trying to convince them by asking his mom and one of his glasses lens shows her watching him and the other shows beyond the lens to his sorrowful eye starting to cry because of the pain of this realization

because there far more reason to believe he is hallucinating.

1. the capacity to see ghost appear after he encounter taya, not before, remember that taya explain to haru it's because they live together, not that haru has the ability to see ghost since birth, if he was able to see ghost, then he is supposed to encounter ghost girl in is work before seeing taya at the bridge, that not the case.
2. taya never acknowledge the mom, that very strange for a supernatural being, she ask why it's cold in the house, if she see mom, then she know that because the house is haunted, and we know that it's taya that ask that question because haru ask his mother if she is cold following that question. and people forget a very aspect of spider girl, she is a direct people without any subtility, so why she doesn't ask the mother something ? or speak with her ?
3. being a ghost doesn't stop you to interact, speak with those that can see you in the precedent chapter like with ghost girl that act "lively" in the house of the couple, here the mother is very strange, she is very static, move very little and doesn't speak, and she is stated that she lost her voice, not that she is mute from birth, so unless you keep your sickness in the afterlife, i really doubt that the mother is here.
4. if we go on that road, then it's explain a good chunk of strange thing about the hallucination mother, why she has scar, why she can't speak, because it's the last image haru has of his mother, a sick women, unable to speak.
5. pretty sure that since the chapter with ghost girl in their house, everything is build up to make us believe haru is able to see his mom, when the chapter at the graveyard, the real mother appear and speak with haru explain him that he has a real problem.
6. it's give the author an opportunity to have more interaction between daddy skellington, who is a psy, and haru.

Damn that sad.

So the whole family kept quiet? Haru never defended the status of his Mother amongst his family members until now?

Man, I can't believe Haru's Dad just allowed his son to believe in his delusions and didn't intervene to tell the truth until now. I can respect the Dad's decision to not say anything when Haru was a kid but allowing this unhealthy coping to develop to Haru's teenager years without doing anything about it is shameful to see.

well, it's not so strange when we think about it, haru is not the only one affected by the passing of the mother, that already hard when haru's father see is wife getting weaker and weaker each year at the point she is unable to speak, forced to make a living for all is family, and after his wife die, the last one begin to speak to an hallucination, and that the only moment you see him happy, so yeah, that many hardship for him already.

and when i see how haru react when they try to tell him that his mother is dead, he is so delusional that i see that they don't try many time.

 

[Hexcalliber__2002]

This is a very goofy plot progression. I get why you would wanna make him schizophrenic but, there's really no need and kinda hurts the mc's character as a calm dude

I think you're mistaking his sever depression with calmness. Like almost everything in his life until Taya show up is fked up. His Mom died but since he can see ghost he doesn't recognize it and that cause his family to distance themselves from him either because they're weird out or simply want to give him space to cope and grieve. His career as a stuntman, the only thing he enjoyed severely injured him and cause him to quit and fractured his relationship with his best friend. His (presumably) first gf cheated and frame him for SO her. Which all accumulated to him jumping of a bridge. That ain't "calm" he "snapped"

Taya said it, but she wasn't aware that Haru could actually see ghosts before, as well as he wasn't, too - because the only ghost he saw before was his mom's. Taya probably just strengthened his sensivity to supernatural, which awakened after his mother's death. It's the same with Mieruko-chan, only she became aware of the supernatural while being much older, when she was clearly aware that her father is dead, but she saw him in their house. Haru wasn't aware and probably didn't understand the concept of death at that moment, and his father quickly gave up explaining this to him, instead believing that his son is just insane, which led to this.

taya never acknowledge the mom, that very strange for a supernatural being, she ask why it's cold in the house, if she see mom, then she know that because the house is haunted, and we know that it's taya that ask that question because haru ask his mother if she is cold following that question. and people forget a very aspect of spider girl, she is a direct people without any subtility, so why she doesn't ask the mother something ? or speak with her ?

That wasn't Taya who asked this question, it was Haru himself musing about the cold and then asking the ghost about it. And Taya kept her silence because she is aware of what is happening and doesn't want to drop a bomb, especially in front of outsiders who are not aware of her spider nature (Haru's dad and brother).

being a ghost doesn't stop you to interact, speak with those that can see you in the precedent chapter like with ghost girl that act "lively" in the house of the couple, here the mother is very strange, she is very static, move very little and doesn't speak, and she is stated that she lost her voice, not that she is mute from birth, so unless you keep your sickness in the afterlife, i really doubt that the mother is here.

A corporal ghost usually looks like exactly how it looked like at the moment of death, I don't remember realistic depictions of any "staying on this side" ghosts that suddenly reverted to their younger appearance, unless in comedy. If Haru's mother was mute for years before her death it's understandable she is mute as a ghost.

 

[LilithRaven]

Maybe you can convince family to keep that up, but I don't think that's realistically sustainable if Haru is meeting people outside the family, and honestly, feels kind of abusive.

And Ghost Mom is willingly supporting it?

yeah the plot doesn’t actualy sticks to me, there is NO WAY he will NOT realize his mother is a ghost!

 

[Panino]

When your mom's ghost is like "nah, they're telling the truth".

This is the thing, is his mother really "dead"?
Like the father said, first her vision, next her voice, them her body, "was taken away".
ONLY THE BODY, NOT THE SOUL.
The mother is still there.
His mother already couldn't talk and do much, but now she is better than she was before from Haruto's point of view. He is right, it's their fault for creating this "misunderstanding" by never telling him that she had lost her body while they couldn't see her soul.

Haru wasn't aware and probably didn't understand the concept of death at that moment, and his father quickly gave up explaining this to him, instead believing that his son is just insane, which led to this.

i doubt that the case, main problem is the bureau girl ghost, if haru is able to see spirit, it's doesn't explain why he was unable to see her before, it's important to remember that it's because of that ghost that haru ask why he is able to see ghost, he never stated that he was able before.

That wasn't Taya who asked this question, it was Haru himself musing about the cold and then asking the ghost about it. And Taya kept her silence because she is aware of what is happening and doesn't want to drop a bomb, especially in front of outsiders who are not aware of her spider nature (Haru's dad and brother).

the problem here is that the author made it very ambiguious who ask the question :

chapter 92

just 2 bubble and that it, more over, taya and haru was alone here, the dad go outside to "smoke", and it's not like the family of haru are know to be exorcist, so what the point to hide her spider nature in the first place ? normal human see only on taya just a tanned girl, not a monstruous spider, unless she decide to show it like with the ex girlfriend.
so no, i doubt she try to be polite here, there no real reason to do that.

A corporal ghost usually looks like exactly how it looked like at the moment of death, I don't remember realistic depictions of any "staying on this side" ghosts that suddenly reverted to their younger appearance, unless in comedy. If Haru's mother was mute for years before her death it's understandable she is mute as a ghost.

indeed, that a possibility, but i doubt that the case here.

i suppose that we need to see the next chapter to see who is right here on our interpretation.

 

[ShootingGuard186]

So sad...

 

[phoenixir]

So they know she's a ghost. Did the Cat Miko tell them?

[Moshu_Reads]

This is not a joke...

 

[icarushector]

How it started: my girlfriend is a spider okay, and that's neat.

How it's going: turns out my mom died 17 years ago and nobody told me because I only smiled while talking to her ghost.

Goddamn
