Mieruko-chan - Vol. 11 Ch. 57

[Novak_Vai]

The old man is pretty cool, but man, I fear what he might do in the coming chapters.

 

[Noko_000]

I can't help but feel Mr Seto has a point, it's true that at least half the ghosts we have seen aren't outright malevolent and don't attack people, but from what we've seen so far they're not good either.

In case everyone forgot once Miko mistook a ghost for a random boy, that ghost wasn't doing anything outright malevolent, but as soon as he realized Miko could see him he tried to attack her, I think it's safe to assume that vast majority of ghosts would do the same even if they don't seem malevolent.

Team humanity let’s go!!

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[capricieux]

Can't be that bad of a person with an animal flocking on to him, right? I mean almost all bad guys at the start of an arc turned out not to be one.

 

[Greedygreen]

Has he been in the earlier chapters? I don't remember no more.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Exit 8? Ouch. That poor ghost kid.

 

[Werebearguy]

First half; This Mr. Seto's a cool dude. I hope he's a recurring chara-
Second half; UH OH.

 

[Mitsu13]

Mr. Seto is so cool, how he is helping them so smoothly that everyone just think he is a reliable person. Although the last part is kinda wrong, ghost is still previously human.

It’s nice how Rom is more human in this chapter. It’s fun when the character who is usually cool becomes agitated.

 

[ultrabread]

This was such a good introduction of a character in a chapter, a sort of "show don't tell" way of doing things.

 

[zymosan99]

Mr. Seto needs to stop drinking the Benadryl.

Wonder if this arc is going to be Seto trying to exorcise Miko Dad and the guardian horse(?). He said he's on the side of humanity so it's hard to picture him going after Miko directly, even if she did break the shrine barrier.

well, he could always rationalize that Miko being dead would be "the best for humanity"

 

[Grye]

HELP

 

[Kuroku]

even in a world where Seto Kaiba is a nice boss, he still sees some kind of group as third rate.

 

[MandrakeKing]

i find it funny the dad is still around. and acting like normal. But, is he aware no one actually respond to him or he know but coping and in deny ?
Wonder if Miko ever try to talk to him, she would think her dad won't hurt him, no ? he protect her few time already

It's not so much that she's afraid of her dad as it is that she's afraid of the horse thing. It seems to get along with her dad, but it might attack her if it realizes she can see it

 

[RazorsEdge]

i love how this manga keeps blueballing us every month, every chapter is a new cliffhangers that leaves you wanting more

 

[SunSun]

Father still here

Not if Seto-san gets there.

 

[MandrakeKing]

i think it's clearly what the author want to do with seto "i'm the judge, i'm the hammer" sorta thing while romm so far always have better judgement than anyone else.
the shrine arc prove that romm was right all along but he's too weak to do anything at the time and all other incident he accurately tell which ghost are evil which aren't, how the forest spirit are there to protect and the old man are really really dangerous.
the Station scene prob kinda want to nailed on which ideology they're standing on


the theory of the longer they stays the corrupted they are became is something i was thinking about for a while but the hospital mini-arc kinda debunk this theory.
the mother and daughter passed away early on the dad's life, so they are lingering around atleast for 20 years or so. i think some are easily corrupted if they are evil from the very first but the good people are remained intact until their business are over.
oh yeah, the bald cat lover wife also stay with him uncorrupted, i think only the shrine maiden are succumb to evil even though she's seems like a good person because the circumstance of her death are unethical at best

there's so many stuff to theorize, mieruko and kaya honestly one of fav horror that still ongoing im looking forward for their new chapter release

My theory is that a ghost form has nothing to do with good or evil and more to do with how well they can maintain their emotions & sense of self

Miko's dad, Nyakuza dude's wife, & the hospital family seem to have accepted their deaths pretty easily & are just waiting on their families
The safe combo ghost didn't seem to take it too well & became fixated on said safe combo. Since it seemed to be more worry than anger, it lead to a slow decay until the numbers were passed on, then he was able to move on instantly
Mantis Mom was obsessed & resentful in life and this carried over, twisting her form. There is also the chance that dealing with the resentful spirits of the cats also pushed her mutation along

The Fox's familiars seemed more like they were being controlled, with their appearance being influenced by their controller. Once reminded of her past, she was able to break free, even for just a moment

The little girl is a good example in that I doubt she was a bad person (not impossible, but we got nothing to go on), but she didn't even know her own age, much less what was going on. She was frightened & was already showing signs of decay. Given time, she might have become like the balloon boy: calling out for help & aggressively perusing anyone that eventually reacts

 

[ReaperCreeper]

Kinda get some Wonder of U vibes off this guy.

 

[RyoSaeba]

Amazing chapter and great new character, I can't wait for what's next

 

[Nivial]

I really can't wait for a potential Miko training arc. She's already been shown to be the one with the strongest sight besides maybe Rom and this new guy.

 

[whatever_man]

For those who think he's cool, he'd obliterate Miko's dad without hesitation.

Nothing wrong with that, the guy has to move on.
