Mieruko-chan - Ch. 69

[Shinigamisama]

Oh great, now I'll have to see those spoopy ghosts twice.
Seriously, what's that worker guy's/old lady's deal?

 

[rgtm573]

This is a much better scanlation. Thank you 🙏

 

[libermn]

Thank you for the chapter! The translation are very good.

 

[Zhangar]

Thank you for the vastly better translation.

Interesting. So the Old Man switched targets? It started being right behind Miko's mom, then got forced to back off once Francois had the extra help of the exorcism charm, and then started following Miko's dad?

Thanks for the scanlation

 

[Pyoro]

EDIT: By "bridge that gap" do you mean going back and re-translating and re-typesetting chapters 60 to 68?

Yes; exactly. I wasn't suggesting a gap in quality for your scanlation, just this "gap of chapters". Heck, not even necessarily for those chapters a question of quality primarily - but certainly one of consistency.

But I understand that most people would rather look forward ^^

 

[Brightamethyst]

Interesting that the "old man" was originally following Miko's mother, not her father.

 

[wnmalo]

Nice

Thank you, I’m glad you think my chapter is good quality.

I would prefer to work on the future chapters from now on, but I appreciate you holding my work in a good regard, it means a lot to me.

pretty interesting that the dad seemed to purposely not wear his glasses cause ghosts appear perfectly clear even when everything else is blurry, its too bad Miko doesn't really have a way to tell ghosts from real people outside of appearance.

 

[MisterMemeDaddy]

I totally forgot we were doing a flashback and got soooo confused lol

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

So the ghost follows it follows rules

 

[Astra_Starwalker]

Please anyone smart enough to explain to stupid me why the father and daughter see the ghost differently??

I'm copy/pasting my comment on the other translation:
It is hinted that the "Unassuming Middle-Aged Guy" ghost looks different person to person:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/ffa1613e-e4a9-4e24-b4f9-9fcb457a9b94/35
Rom responds to Mieruko with "... Unassuming middle-aged guy? Is that how it looks to you?"

It is further explained here:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/f28fd859-82e1-455b-961d-11e48891f2ab/36
From what I understand, it is explained - in very basic terms - that if your brain can't comprehend what it is seeing, it will warp it into a more familiar shape.
It makes me think of scenes where god-like characters change their shape to one that the main character will be more familiar and comfortable with, like the image of a dead family member the main character was close with.

 

[Varpie]

Thank you so much for the good translation

 

[TetraSky]

damn this was actually an important chapter, couldn't tell from whatever the hell the previous "translation" was
Thanx creeg-chan

While it wasn't the best, it wasn't illegible. What are you going on about

 

[BestBoy]

I am sniping

Sniping a series is not actually a thing. Anyone is free to work on any chapter they want. The only people who complain about sniping are those scanlating for the wrong reasons (money, internet clout).

The best comparison I can think of is that horror movie, The Ring, where anyone who watches the cursed VHC are bound to die in exactly 1 week unless they manage to break the curse somehow.
From what I have gathered, the ghost attaches to anyone that sees its picture, but so far that's where the comparisons ends as far as the manga has come with information surrounding him. Rom and the others treat the ghost as something dangerous, but so far all he has done is persistently follow whoever it attached itself to, it hasn't attacked or done anything malicious.

nah, that guy haunted the mom all the time, it's just that the dad stay like françois near the mom, the interesting part is that the ghost seem to be attracted in reality to the apparence of the mother when she was young and now miko, for whatever reason.

anybody that detect him, or is a hinerance to his plan is targeted, like rom or pii.

but the main target is the apparence of miko.

Yeah, that was a really nice touch. Maybe Miko could try squinting for a similar effect.
