Damn, the astronomer hobbyist death flagging all over the place. Just a walking talking shouting "noooo I hate living please horror story, please kill me for being an idiot"

Ooooh, this one was cool, if a little conventional. The twist that the mascot was the manager and the real manager was dead all along—that twist actually returns the story to conventional mascot horror, where the mascot comes to life and does bad things. However, the fact that the mascot gets...

Oooooh okay. That's a pretty good twist. Instead of the toy turning on its creator, in this case the creator was a dead man... Alright, alright! I can vibe with this!

Wooooh. This one was interesting. We got "return to the sea you know you want to" a few times, think about the aquarium story. But this is a harkening back to the very first story with the restaurant guy, a sort of return to the woods...

Alright, back to the regularly scheduled nonsense! Hmm, I wonder how the mangaka will spin this? "Mascot that gets active at night and kills you and turns you into a toy" is extremely normal, "you have to keep smiling" is as conventional a plot point as any. But the mangaka has a reputation for...

Green kid... hrm. And all of these people are weirdly obsessed with Jun, aren't they? They don't even know the guy, they're here for money.

Yooooo, a new color! Kuroiwa jobs have such wonderful color palettes, I like the green (thematically relevant!)

Ooooh, I like the high-concept stuff. Seems like we get it every time Q shows up, eh? Freaky images, cubist-inspired manga, I like it!

this one is spooooky... I will say, of all the things we haven't seen in this horror series, the one that scares me the most is seeing our protagonists honestly, genuinely hurt. I've gotten attached,, the benefits of ongoing series vs compilation of one-shots, I suppose.

Yume becoming heartless... Hama becoming attached... what's next, Daidai depression arc? Damn. Honestly, I like the character development.

Ooooh, interesting moral question. Do they even deserve the fireworks ceremony? So much of this comic is about the return of the repressed, buried history coming back to bite you... (which is why I found that one story about the two villages a little odd)

Oh no! Not the pointing girl!!

This was a good one. The twist (the demon is real) was obvious from the start. The SECOND twist (he sucks ass and gets arrested trying to take over the world) was not.

Ooooh! I honestly don't mind the pivot in the story. We had an extremely episodic horror adventure for several dozen issues that had creative things to say about a number of old horror stories as well as a few newer ideas to add into the mix. If this is the part where the protagonists power up...

Loving this arc. The characters have wonderful chemistry.

I love these two already. This series is so good at the horror-comedy thing. Jin and Yin, comedy duo, suspicious as hell...

So, there's a few things going on here. 1. Yeah, it's a little unfortunate that the first time we see gay love explicitly represented, it's as a toxic and obsessive kind of thing. The last time this was alluded to was back during the babysitter story when our deuteragonists were mistaken for a...

Man, I wish I could identify all the manga references in the Tuna Queen page

Every so often we get a couple jobbers, huh? Honestly, it lowers the stakes if they're only being "punished" for not taking it seriously. It feels like a teen summer camp movie where the killer bursts in because two of the cast are getting it on. It would feel a little more impactful if they...

It's fascinating that sometimes Yume smells danger coming for others, and sometimes she doesn't... I guess it must be a difference of whether or not she could be affected? Or, hmm, maybe it's a difference of whether or not she cares about the person in question... Also, uh, this arc is just a...
