The original phrase was 意識高い系 - it’s kind of a sarcastic term for someone who tries to act socially conscious or ambitious, but often comes off as performative or pretentious. "Woke" isn’t a perfect match, but I used it intentionally to hit that tone for an English-speaking audience, even...

I think the manga only adapted 2 out of 7... curious about the rest of the novel now.

No chapter title. The only chapters that has titles are Night One, Two, Three etc. and their respective endings. I guess that's how it was formatted in the original novel.

I didn't even see that - thanks for your attention to detail as always.

Ah, I was thinking that since the bones were scattered, the soul had broken free and is now trying to reincarnate through Natsuko (if she and Yousuke will have a child) - that's why it's considered 'not human.' It’s interesting because there could be a lot of interpretations here and it might...

The cover artist is indeed the mangaka of Mieruko-chan (Izumi Tomoki) but sadly he doesn't have any story featured in this anthology. Would be awesome if he did one someday though!

My theory is that there are two entities tied to the family here - the man who killed himself, and the person who broke the rule by witnessing his death centuries ago. The witness and his bloodline (which is the girl’s family) are caught in some kind of eternal punishment. The bones belong to...

I agree, the style reminds me of I Am a Hero (which is one of my top fave horror manga). Can't wait for the next chapter! Looks so promising.

Thank you for translating!

That's just a stop button at the bus that says "stop." Sorry, should've translated that lol

Added 2 pages in Chapter 18 from Vol. 2 that's not in the magazine release:

Hey there! 1. Yes, it's the literal translation. 2. No, the raws are currently up to Volume 3 (which was just released). I don't have a definite schedule tbh. I rotate between series, and depending on my enthusiasm and reader interest, I may update this series faster. I just finished Vol. 1...

Interestingly, this is actually based on one of those popular 'rituals' in Japan. https://sayainunderworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/have-you-got-ability-to-see-ghost.html?m=1 https://sayainunderworld.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-secret-behind-have-you-got-ability.html?m=1

He has to die first before the ghost 'transfers' to another.

Yeah, it just so happens the first story is a 4-chapter segment. The next two are different stories.

My apologies for the confusion - even I struggled to translate this due to its mix of English and Japanese wordplay. The original title in the raw is 'Sine Die' (or 'Shine Die') - written in English. It plays on a pun because 死ね is pronounced 'shine' in romanized Japanese. This also directly...

It's from Insomnia by Hokazono Masaya ch. 14 :) https://mangadex.org/title/8b7af8c8-6e09-4863-81f2-d55dc2ae8815/insomnia

I agree - but I think the author's original intention was to create a horror anthology centered around the senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch etc thus the title). It just happens that there are chapters that are interconnected. Though I too think that there should be more of the blind...

Well, it's implied that she's in search of an entity "it" who took away her sense of fear.

The story is filled with symbolism. Chapter 2 is a fabricated reality, the same as Chapter 3 - though in this case, it's a dream that reflects Subaru's unconscious mind. There are even pieces from Chapter 2 that foreshadow her accident. The rabbit, Rope, symbolizes Subaru herself - her...
