dang, this is new type of horror for me. it's uncomfortable and gross but im too curious to look away
i can totally imagine a bigger scale 'movie-like' scenario where it's this but it's a full on nursing home or hospital wing rather than one specific person

oof imagine the smell 💀
Yeah i can imagine, even without the extreme case of this story, that it'd be one of the reasons some relatives never visits as well as there being a lack of nursing home workers and such (well, idk about some places but i heard there was a bit of a decline of a handful of ppl like that quitting

I find it strange that they didn't mention the boy, although at the beginning they said that there would only be four of them, i also find it strange that the protagonist's motivation to "discover the truth (come on, she even looks like an undercover detective lol). Bathing sick and disabled people It's scary in itself~:nyoron:💦

So you're new to the horror genre! "disgusting" and uncomfortable", but which generates curiosity is a very common theme in the horror genre, particularly in films~ :wooow:

Well obviously the protag isn't told anything but i do expect some plot twist of there just being some random boy and another person contradicting them like "What? She doesn't have any kids" if not some ppl just seeing a boy in the mansion and just misunderstanding, a deaf boy can probably just be in the house but i imagine he might need more extra assistance even if he doesn't need to be watched as closely as a blind kid would be

this manga feels like a side characters story on a horror movie
i wouldn't mind if it ended up being some kinda anthology(?) with multiple arcs or so

I haven't realised that she was so big until that panel with her held during the dinner. Maybe she is a ghoul, and they are just feeding her to keep her from waking up properly

It's been built up so that its likely that hiwako is some kind of vampire/ghoul/monster/etc that walk the night, but for some reason i feel like it would be better if she would just keep being a corpse and has no action at all.
That would make this manga goes full on psychological horror and atmospheric, which to me would be way more scary than a monster story

I would technically be okay with both, but the psychological route is some much more refreshing yet also some significantly more disturbing and rooted in reality.

I honestly think she's just a corpse.

Add the missing sfx translations even if small letters on the side of the panel, it's essential for a horror manga
