i kinda miss the shenanigans with the little kids

Man living in japanese ghost world is such bullshit. Just like creepypasta world (if you've seen that one youtube video you know what I mean). Imagine picking up a coin and getting slimed because "ruh roh, you now owe the spooky ghost compensation! With your life!" Icl man if I died this way I'm coming back and haunting every motherfucker alive

man if I died this way I'm coming back and haunting every motherfucker alive

Maybe that's why there's so many ghosts around

EDIT: Why tf are people using this thread to discuss another chapter entirely?

The very end has a translated segment of the Aunt's pregnancy journal.

Seems to me that ghost is a monk, and might have a backstory of it's donations being stolen, adding on that it might be inhabiting the coin as it's latest medium to curse people for taking things thaf do not belong to them.

To me it feels like a classic case of a parent who tries their hardest to give their kids a better upbringing than they had but doesn't realize that that better upbringing is still fucking terrible.

Like from Mutsu's POV she did a good job: she kept Mirai from being brainwashed into a womb-sama by not telling her shit and sending her to regular school, and she kept what's his face (glove guy) away from whatever awaited him in the side branch by sending him away from the family. In reality they both had awful childhoods.

I think a big factor here is that it sounds like Mutsu (and Nana and Yoshie) was home (cult) schooled so she probably has a pretty idyllic view of real school and the secular world in general.

Yea it's just rough all around for both sides in this whole situation.

Pfft, free money on the ground is free money, no such thing as being cursed for picking up money on the ground lmao

 

[elroid]

It's sorta wild how often people just die in this town.

There were many case with the youkai replacing the victim here, so overall it might not really be affecting the society much...?

 

[gmkgoat]

There is a hilarious amount of fatal traffic accidents in this series.

 

[lemonzaid]

😭 thank you for your hard work

 

[xenocross]

That myth also exist in my local supranatural legend. Money laying on the ground is actually sacrifices. When you pick it, you agree to become sacrifices, and someone else profit from that.

Caught up with the series

But if so she clearly communicated poorly with mirai....did she fear ANY proper mention of the true purpose of their family, and of a second born daughter, could make her at risk of being brainwashed?

More like she wishes that Mirai would hate her enough to leave and forget the family, I think? I'm juggling whether it was done solely for Mirai or for her to let the practice die. Mirai didn't receive proper education as potential Womb-sama, but Nana received proper priestess training including knowledge of the curse. Mutsu only considers Nana as her child as indicated in Chapter 15 in this page but she also immediately recognized that the spectre in Kaya came from Mirai

Quick update: don't worry I haven't abandoned this series but chapter 45 will take more time.
I accidentally overwrote the chapter files and I couldn't restore them.
Thankfully the TL is on google drive so it's safe, but the PSD files weren't backed up so I have to redo the cleaning/redraw and typesetting.
I don't wanna make any promises, but hopefully it should be done in about a week.

Morale of the Story : Don't pick up money on the streets or Truck-kun will get you !!

Also, d'aaaaaaw... the family picture tho...
