poor rabbit but no resentful ghost i guess? that said feels like it'd be easier to ask a friend/neighbor in the area if ur parents aren't that close by

I thought it was a thing about how people sometimes end up being slaves to their pets. It happened to my cousin - she couldn't do things like long vacations or go to certain places, because her chocolate lab needed constant care as it got older. But maybe there's something else. It was kind of hard to follow this one.

This manga has its stories completely jumbled, its not scary because we literally can't follow what's supposed to be happening and not in a intriguing way, a poorly thought out way. For all we know, the bunny might not even exist. She mentioned something about rotting in the beginning so she might know it's already dead??

Her rabbit died while she was on vacation. She wakes up hungover, says she has to hurry to catch her flight, but should have time to clean the rabbit's food and water dispensers and cage. But in the bottom panel of the first page you can see the water dispenser and the food bowl sitting empty on top of the refrigerator, with her forgetting to fill them and put them back in the cage with the rabbit. The ending has her returning to her apartment after apparently cutting her vacation short to go check on her bunny, who is almost certainly dead of dehydration.

Everything between that is kinda muddled, but I think the black rabbit they have to swerve to avoid is actually the ghost of Rope, who at this point is dead and is probably a vengeful spirit but an angry bunny ghost is pretty limited in what it can to do to get revenge, so has to settle for trying and failing to get them to drive off a dangerous mountain road.

And then there's the revelation that her mother asking about the bunny is what makes her realize that she forgot to leave it food and water, but if her mother realized she had forgotten to drop her pet rabbit off before she went on vacation shouldn't she have said something sooner? Like, say, in less time than it would take for an unattended rabbit to die?

So the gist of it is that a moment of negligence resulted in the death of her pet rabbit, and that's the scary part. How it gets from that premise to the reveal is... questionable.

A lot of people seem confused by this story, but it's actually quite common - and sad. It's happened to me several times. She went out drinking with acquaintances and got a little too drunk, and came home late. She was both hungry and a little confused when she got home, so in her inebriated state she unfortunately ate her pet rabbit, and then forgot about it the day after. Toward the end her vision is turning dark because she is dying from rabbit SARS that you get from eating rabbit meat.
