Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi - Vol. 3 Ch. 25 - 25th Mystery: The Little Girl in Red 8

[Alsimec]

It just didn't feel right without the eggs

 

[Yanagi]

The hell are those eggs memes? Feel so forced and unfun...

 

[HelperHand]

@Yanagi I am not 100% sure but in the begining of the scan meme they showed a image of a bag full of boiled wet eggs offered by Morrisons

 

[Rialtoir]

@xyzzy well in latinamerica there was the story of the man of the bag that would kidnap you if you misbeheave or in christmass in northern europe there's the story of Krampus who beat your ass if you were a bad kid so is not that uncomon to use horror stories to traumatize and make children do what you want hell little red ridding hood was born that so girls didnt wander alone in the forest

So
Did anyone predict this?

 

[Flare77]

Man this sure is a complicated weave of folklore. It doesn't help that its exclusively japanese folklore. I didn't even know Hanako was a girl in red. I just know her as the girl in the toilet.

 

[Tyldar]

Arghhh the eggs are back.

 

[Notsuki_Ame]

All the water must’ve been a clear sign referring to toilets that everyone failed to notice

 

[Doomroar]

Is not that she didn't eat her eggs, she couldn't eat eggs because there were no eggs memes to consume!

The Eggs Are Back, The Only Problem Is That I'm Vegan

 

[versub]

Uh didn't know Hanako was associated with the colour red.

 

[Tamerlane]

My heart fucking sank when I saw here, well, sink

 

[Trip-Hop-on-Pop]

@versub She's most often depicted as wearing a white shirt and a bright red skirt, but I didn't realize that it was, like, part of the legend. Maybe it's just so common in Japan that it's the first thing they think of when they hear about a little girl in red, the way a westerner might think of Death when they see a farmer's scythe.

 

[Xitel]

I gotta say, the effect of her melting was incredibly well drawn.

 

[Ced1106]

Clever merging of myths. Anyway, it's unfortunate that manga is mostly black and white when color sometimes becomes important for the story. Hanako is indeed often portrayed in red. Thanks for the translations!!! 👧👧👧

Is it bad that I find the eggs meme more annoying than Rapeman's ones?

 

[lab000]
