Poor ghost. If only she could write anything other than curse words.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

should've sewn the corpse's eyes shut to be extra safe. though maybe she figured ghost girl was too dumb to get the message across without speaking

 

[PollySama]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh so thaaats why the electricity bill was so high
but im a bit confused on the timeline
so she was stalking some random dude, she killed his gf who became the ghost, he got mistakenly arrested for it, but then she switches victims to this other random dude? and he just so coincidentally moves into the same apartment that shes haunting? or is it that she just stalks whoever lives in that apartment building and that wiretap has just been there the entire time

 

[loonacrunch]

This definitely got my attention

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

or is it that she just stalks whoever lives in that apartment building and that wiretap has just been there the entire time

yeah this sounds right. she was probably keeping an eye on the tenant there (including transferring to his workplace) to make sure he didn't discover any leftover evidence (like a message from ghost girl)

lol dang that twist (how did she get that money tho lol)

altho if the ghost is visible to more than just him maybe she could scare her off?

Honestly, it's more likely that she can't see the ghost girl and isn't even aware of her haunting the place.

Case1: stalker girl hears via wiretap "Pay the electricity!" > assumes he needs money and sneaks in to leave money for him
Case2: stalker hears via wiretap "Let's get along" to 'someone' not knowing he's talking to a ghost > gets mad and vandalizes the place
Case3: stalker hears him talking about a takoyaki party not knowing he's talking to the ghost > comes to murder him

i agree, and the love pillows were only put there after the vandalizing which fits.

the news also said that wiretaps were found, but we don't know if they were found at the boyfriend's apartment or the ghost girl's (or the same apartment if they lived together). either way i guess ishikawa wiretapped the crime scene afterwards and started stalking the new resident

Poor ghost. If only she could write anything other than curse words.

or if she existed in a 3 dimensional space and could point more accurately than what we see from a single perspective

or the ghost could be actually haunting the wiretap (that wasn't found)

wait guys i didn't notice all these stuff wtf

im cooked

The money came from the stalker I guess

Wow, that's actually super make sense. The max electricity, the money, the vandalism and probably the TV is not from the ghost girl at all because she's probably cannot interact with the world, it's was that blonde girl (the stalker) is the one who did it because she stalk him and put wiretap in his apartment to listen to what he said.

All of the ghost girl hectic that ghost girl do such as pointing to the electric plugs (hidden wiretap) ect is her trying to warn the mc that there's an intruder in his house.

Huh. The art is so different from Jaga’s other works. If I hadn’t read her name on it, I never would’ve guessed it was hers. Pretty impressive.

Thanks for the chapter!

I think:
A year ago, Ishikawa (girl popular coworker) had a crush on a guy and stalked him with wiretaps and she killed his girlfriend (ghost girl) and framed him. Then she moved to a new company (MC’s company).

Sometime in the past year, she has begun to target him. At this point, it’s unclear she has wiretapped his previous home.

A few months ago he moved into the cheaper apartment (cheap because the above girlfriend was murdered there). He’s aware there is a ghost but ghost hasn’t done anything to bother him.

Now, ishikawa has entered the home and made herself comfortable adding a wiretap and turning on light/fan/tv to be comfy. MC notices because he’s been trying to cut down on costs and the ghost is flailing about. (Maybe his last place was wiretapped but he wasn’t keeping an eye on his electricity bill before.)

All of what @RelM said happened :

It’s completely possible that Ishikawa targets people until she is struck by murderous jealousy (triggered by overhearing conversations and rumors that he has a girlfriend), kills, frames, finds a new victim.

She wasn't the one who wrote those curse words
