it would be quite something if this got a live action lol
hoooo...
I can really see the possibility of it, as the premise is quite simple and doesn't require many place to shoot.
Because with anime format, a lot of the grotesque detail usually missing or toned down.
With Japan being Japan, it can be as horrid as possible

Hariti, the goddess of childbirth and motherhood. Once a demoness that devoured a thousand children, repented at the feet of the Buddha and became a protector of children and mothers. So, it seems that motherhood shall be a central theme to this - A loss of innocence too.

What a cliffhanger, I cannot wait to see what develops next.

What makes you think so?

Well grieving during a miscarriage might cloud one’s mind but the man at the end turning out into being some delusion might be a bit much tho even tho it didn’t switch POVs or anything that one supermarket lady did talk about missing ppl and the mountains being the opposite way which is probably significant

So... all the stuff about missing couple and the oni shrine led me to think that thry're gonna go the supernatural royte a bit but then they really jumpscared us with a naked intruder. Heck, in thay page with the multipanel of the kitchen I had to look again and again cause all of a sudden there's this guy near the fridge and Akane seems like she didn't realize he's there, making me think maybe he's a ghost. But no... come next page he's in your face, Akane just didn't realize he was there.

That last part was a really jumpscare.

Imagine if this part was animated and uploaded in Webtoon with a Sound in it. That will be lit.
Omg, 2000s jumpscare korean webtoons should make a comeback again.

Love the narrative being set up, I can't tell how her miscarriage gonna tie up with the mansion, very excited to see how this plays out, couldn't say that with a lot of manga of recent time

well i assume her miscarriage led to her 'mental health issues' that she brought up with the president/Hiwako's daughter(?), tho while i assume male nurses are also not as common in JP, I half expect it to be an occult /body horror thing where one's sacrificed to maybe 'give birth' lol, if not Hiwako taking over the body of a younger vessel, like Flemeth from Dragon Age if you're familiar with that game series)

(and, the first chapter is titled "contracture" (potentially 'birth/labor contractions'?), hmm...)

Oh man, that 4 panels before the reveal, where the guy is just there was scary. Didn’t think a off framed angle could work in a manga, but it does, and does beautifully.

Thanks for the chapters!
