Once You Know the True Meanings...

Damn the cinderella one hurts to see

If the 5th panel came at the beginning of the next chapter instead of the end of the current chapter, this might have been a fun idea for fan engagement, to have everyone guessing until the next release. As is, its just kind of meh.

My immediate reaction was: this is Peanuts for goths. I rather like it, but I'm not a horror fanatic.

This series is like black mirror if the writers were on the spectrum

Horror on the front page... A rare indeed

Horror on the front page... A rare indeed

Don’t be mistaken, the “horror” is so bad it borders on comedy, and by comedy, I mean bottom of the barrel reddit humor.

If you're interested in this manga, just want to tell you this manga is ass. Don't be fooled by the first chapter alone.
The only good chapters are the first 10 and the last 3 (which were not 4-komas). The rest was either miss or just predictable. Even though some of them are ironically funny because how bad it is.

There's also many chapters that revolves around Japanese puns that are hard to translate which sucks. Those chapters is probably good if only I know Japanese.

But then again, this description said it's manga where kids and adult can enjoy so probably that explains why this is goddamn awful.

Where's the comedy tag?

 

[gum_rummy]

This is so goofy. I’m obsessed.

This is the equivalent of explaining a joke, but horror.

Ok, so i think the best way to expirience this manga is when you don't know that you are reading this manga beacuse when you know that you are reading this manga you look for hidden details with proper attention and loose the element of surprise

the only time i was truly surprised was the first time when i was reading the train accident chapter as it just happen to come upon my feed

I know its not possible but I think the best way would be for the author to draw the chapters in different artstyles or give the the drawing directions to different mangakas and to draw and post chapters from random accounts

Pretty disappointing, the first one was really good, but all the other one were obvious or boring.

 

[SilverSupreme]

The mangaka is about as subtle as a brick through a window and about as original as a counterfeit purse.

 

[dedzOw]

What a boring read. I found r/twosentencehorror more frightening than this shit.

 

[ConfuciusRex]

Slylock Fox has more interesting mysteries than this, and they don't rely on torturously broad interpretation of puns or absurd leaps in logic to explain paranormal phenomenon.

 

[Bananimal]

It's fun enough, I love twist ending horror anthologies and there's not a lot available in manga. That said, the quality varies wildly from decent to meh to laughably bad, and the fact that the author relies so heavily on the reveal page is pretty insulting to the reader.

But I think the writing is getting better, the twisted fairy tales arc was fantastic.

 

[migicalmerwee]

Honestly, the first one was the only one I really liked. Kind of a let down.

 

[themanthemyth]

you guys are so critical lmao yeah these aren't super horrifying or clever but they're still fun to dissect and read. overhated!

You know what sucks? Finding a new fixation in imikowa stories (which this manga is), finding this manga, and then seeing a bunch of people lambasting it much like they do Yamishibai because their standards are different from JP people.

You are the exact type of people to yell at others for not agreeing with JP sensibilities on Twitter. You are just like them, calling what they consider to be good entertainment awful.

I actually had a good time reading these. I was excited to read a bunch of imikowa stories, and was fooled by the idea of over 200 instances being translated. No, it isn’t that they’ve translated ALL of them, it’s that one translator loyally translated up until a certain point, and another picked up where they reasonably could because they didn’t have any scans of the other pages.

That’s fair enough, and I’m not upset at them for not being able to translate more. I just really wish somebody could translate more. I had a fun time reading these! It seems that unlike Yamishibai’s producers, who make more for the sake of it, translations could peter out from backlash as harsh as yours.

Thanks for the rec for Saya in Underworld! I’ll be sure to check it out to wet my palate while waiting for a more full translation!
