There it is the blue ball moment ofc nothing was gonna happen, and this guy again really? When he first appeared it was basically NTR lmao. He fingered her and she didn't even try to resist/get mad afterwards. I get that there was some mist being shot into the office room but still... I'm trying to stay with this series, but it's getting hard.

smh Love Hotels these days don't even have the common courtesy to tell customers a ghost voyeur is watching over them.

 

[Raine_Lane]

im no longer surprise

 

[Noiro]

Who is the jeweled lady with the death glare?

 

[Epicredeemer]

@squigglesjp firing for effect

 

[MasterPannya]

I really never hoped for anything, but I feel disappointed.

 

[DevLogger]

Wait, this dude again? I thought he was 'leaving Karen's fate to the MC because he has the power to blah blah...". The MC should just use him to get rid of his annoying yandere houseghost, but I doubt he'd think of that. I expect the next chapter will be an exposition dump, explaining why greenhead is doing what he does, and eventually giving the MC a timed ultimatum to help Karen cross to the other side, or he will do it himself. This guy has to be some kind of angelic or demonic being, maybe even some sort of grim reaper. I have to admit though, we're not even to the halfway point in this series, and it's getting kinda stale with the continuous cockblocking, lol.

 

[SquigglesJP]

@Epicredeemer After the effects, FIRE FOR REAL! ! !

 

[SquigglesJP]

@justforthelulz Hotel Boss: Isn't it more exciting this way?

@Noiro If I remember correctly it's https://mangadex.org/title/33338/iris-lady-with-a-smartphone

@DevLogger Save me pls. I get hit first by the cockblocking than you guys lol.

@LeFlash

it's getting hard.

MINE TOO! Oh, wait... not what you meant.

 

[Tamerlane]

MC can't go anywhere without getting sexually harassed, can he?

Hell, I want him to end up with Karen because she's the only one who'll respect his personal space.

I like how someone in the comments mentioned a few chapters back that all these ghost women (and there seems to be ONLY women ... what happened to all the men who died with regrets) seem to need in order to 'pass on to the afterlife' is to bust a nut. I mean ... I guess we have to get to ecchi somehow but how does reaching ghost orgasm help them to pass on again. It probably does very little for the reason they are holding on to this plane of existence.

For example ... the teacup lady committed suicide because she messed up at work and probably regrets that she died and wasn't able to do a better job ... but make her nut and she forgets ALL ABOUT THAT. She didn't come ... (well she kinda did, heh heh) ... to any sort of resolution regarding her death. This is what the MC will probably start to do for these poor souls. So EXPECT a lot of fan service and ghostly sexual shenanigans. But he has to be willing to push past the pure maiden phase of his sex life (my boy screams that he has ZERO experience). Probably wants to save his first for that special someone ... awww ... get over it dude.

Anyone know where the second to last image of the fancy lady with silver hair and decked out attire is from? Looks intriguing,

 

[raze2012]

On one hand, we all saw the cockblock coming. On the other hand, she also set them up. So I guess that wingmanship cancels out my rage.

We'll need all that rage for Mr. Ghost NTR over here anyway, so you win this round, "literally died fucking" ghost girl (geez how the fuck would the boyfriend feel knowing you KILLED your GF with your penis? I'd never fap again).

 

[DevLogger]

@SquigglesJP: Aha, does it make you almost not want to continue the translation?😝

@Dipuc4Life: Those are some very good points, but you have to remember that in the instance with teacup girl, she was being deliberately influenced by whatever greenhead is, as he's certainly no ordinary person. Recall the device in his possession, something of a mystical artifact. Otherwise, it seems that the ghost women require 'sexual release energy' to remain earthbound. It is only in this chapter that the hotel ghost girl says "I think I might be able to go to the other side if I'm satisfied"; personally, I don't think she'd be able to do so unless her former boyfriend was part of the experience.

The item that greenhead has, as someone else pointed out, looks like a vajra, and if it is, as it is used, it somewhat fits into ideas promoted by elements of Buddhism. Since greenhead also leads our dense MC to "club Nirvana", does this mean he is actually Indra the deity? I haven't looked at any raws, but Indra's Japanese name would be something like 帝釈天.

 

[Dipuc4Life]

I've just had a thought about the ghost girl and her 'boyfriend' who penis-killed her. These rooms/hotels almost never have any camera's outside the premises for privacy reasons. So that means the two of them entered the room to have sex, she dies during the course of the intercourse, and he leaves her dead body in the room? Did he finish before he left the room and/or before she died? Was he a serial killer that gets off on sexual asphyxiation and strangles his victims just before they orgasm? Are there other hapless victims of his crime and/or ghost in hotel rooms all across the city? I don't wanna think about the ramifications of the presence of a ghost-girl in the room that died during sex ... but man ... that's some messed up 'ish right there.

@DevLogger ... you have a point there ... I guess we'll find out for sure eventually?

#Dipuc4Life: The more I think about this series, the more I feel like it's going to be one of those types that seems to merit a lot of potential, but ultimately falls short. I'd honestly be surprised if the author really put depth upon depth into his worldbuilding framework. I already see a number of inconsistencies that could be explained away, but somehow I don't think they ever will be. Here's to hoping though.😉
