The worst thing a child to hear their parents say is "I don't want you" or any variation of such phrase. Especially when they're quite young.

Clearly your parents never told you "dinosaurs still walk the earth, and they're all hunting you" when you were a child. Lucky you.

 

[gmkgoat]

Oof, that's rough kid.

Wouldn't work on me..loved dinosaurs as a kid..folks even got me a toy sauropod.

every kid deserves parents, but not all parents deserves having kids.

Author once again shows her skills to mix Supernatural Horrors with Real Life Horrors !!

For a father who lost his kid, Mob-kun does his best to stay carefree comic relief character

And also to constantly keep the children near him safe.

He couldn't save his daughter but he will be damned if he ever let another child down on his watch

Ugh. Gut wrenching one. Q-Q
Poor kid.

And yeah, that was an Ikiryō. In Japanese culture, the soul is not really a countable “thing”, but more like water, you don’t have “a soul”, you have ”some soul”. And an ikiryō is some of that soul (sometime even all of it) that slip and attack the target of your grudge. On the other hand, there are also stories about the opposite, an ikiryō born from extremely obsessive love, like one where two women were so in love with a boy, that they were talking to him through his own mouth, possessing him partially.

This have also been linked to stories reminding us of doppelgängers, where a person’s soul would leak, and even create full duplicates that would start living as a “twin”.

So yeah… A lot of potential with this concept.

Good thing the super psychic also knows how to use photo shop.

This one stings though. I been there and I couldn't imagine my little girl feeling unwanted.

 

[Onimeno]

Tough episode, but once more Mobil saves the day

God this manga is always so good. Everything always seems like something on the surface, and there's always something more underneath

You can only be hurt in this way if you have cursed someone, so good people are inherently safe because they would not do a curse.

Not really, the concept of Ikiryo could happen because of accidental curse. You might be a good person, but you can resent someone so much (due to personal reason), so much much that said resentment turns into curse.

Thus is Ikiryo (Living Curse).

A moderately good person is much safer, but only a saint can be free from any form of resentment/grudge.

So it's not a ghost, but living curse instead? That is to say, a strong resentment enough transforming into curse? Kinda like Ikiryo, thus why the mother collapsed after being exorcised.

ahh so it has a name? That sounds like what happened to the glasses kid and his needy cousin in one of the chapters.

Exactly. In the previous ikiryo chapter, the soul was haunting her high-school bully's son, while the person herself was just vibing unaware of this.
