Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 13 Ch. 68 - Pandora in the Next Room I

[QueenNether]

The true monster is procrastinating the report.

 

[feha]

If i was in a position where the "OTHER WORLD" and it's contents are something real and such contents of said world are affecting the normal world, i wouldn't be living alone in such a house.
I don't care, i'm sleeping over a friends house (the ones that also know about it).
YES i'm a coward.

You sound like the kind of person that might survive. Don't be that kind of guy! Noone likes that kind of guy!

Oohhh reminds me of that similar Junji Itou story

Have you got the name? I'm drawing a blank here one this one.

I think you spelled "most likely to survive" with a "C".

Sorawo is swimming in De Nile, isn't she? Can't tell Toriko is into her, or that living alone is a terrible idea, especially when unnatural horrors might want to eat your inwards - that's if they wanna do you in in a nice, simple way!

 

[deathpigeon]

except nickname her "the cavalry".

The cavalry is that PMC. Her girlfriend is her accomplice. Wholly different roles.

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

The blanket over the head really sells the crazy vibes more than the gun.

 

[goobieIsAnoobie]

What volume of the LN is the manga at right now?

 

[Tds-PdV]

This would have kinda creeped me out (/get my imagination going) if I had been living in a large apartment building with dim hallways and never actually saw my neighbor.

 

[74HC595]

this chapter is probably the one thats given me the most chills so far.

It’s definitely up there. But hearing the recording of the phone call they made while in the otherside, and the resultant realisation that they’re not saying what they thought they were, was freakier to me. The doppelgänger was pretty creepy too.

 

[farranpoison]

So wait, is this copying a story by Junji Ito? Or is that story based off of an actual urban legend in Japan? It feels odd to see the same metal arm monster here when there's an exact same story by Junji Ito.

 

[Zero_G]

If finally sinks in that they are not safe even in the normal world.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

The dude just really likes cheese and is obviously a believer of Omnissiah.

Afterword of Otherside Picnic vol. 4:

The portrayal of the neighbor opening the door with a strange hand is borrowed from the previously mentioned Gendai Hyaku Monogatari Shinmimibukuro Daiichiya’s 48th story, “Tonari no Onna” [The Woman Next Door].

 

[CommonTruth]

What volume of the LN is the manga at right now?

"Pandora in the Next Room" is from volume 4 of the novels

 

[Veru-sama]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[IndieAstronaut]

No other choice, you and toriko will have to move in together

 

[Rim_Strike_Dice]

This might be another case of an urban legend plagiarized from a horror manga. Peoples who spread the stories don't know the about the sources.

 

[Kampfarsch]

Yeah fuck that no way id stay the night

Are you referring to this story? https://mangadex.org/title/4a23f28e-9bb6-41f9-9037-3a3e9234ff75/mimi-s-tales-of-terror
Cause from what I've found so far it seems that Junji itou adapted already existing urban legends using his particular style, not the urban legends being inspired by his works. If you find any contradicting evidence please let me know
