Going crazy with a gun in hand is hardly a good situation

 

[alessaaa]

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

 

[MoonlitWanderer]

Oohhh reminds me of that similar Junji Itou story

 

[Yohacchi]

I think I had read a similar story but I don't remember what it was called, maybe in some game years ago

The woman next door!

 

[Siklaws]

I kinda forgot that Sorawo was still attending to university and using the money to pay it. So diligent, exploring terrors beyond our imagination while still going to classes and making reports.

 

[MapleMakarov]

Sorawo's got a good head on her shoulders by keeping up with her studies, 'cuz if she's gonna mess around with the folklore-based horror world it helps to be smarter about it

 

[zanonyn]

Kinda feel like at this point she should really know better and have at least as good a weirdness sense as us the readers. This is one of the Nietzsche-ish flavors of supernatural, the

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.

type where to Observe the supernatural is to give it special power over you in turn, even though it can mess with regular people to some degree as well. At even a hint of the Otherworld seems like she should be pretty cautious about even what would normally be "passive" observation, particularly now that she's painted ever more of a target on herself. It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you!

Maybe though this is part of the slide down the slope, she's still acting on some level as if she can keep her "normal" and "otherworld" parts of her life separate. Chapter covers toying with the idea of effectively dropping out of normal society entirely and becoming a "professional" there, but she isn't actually serious about committing to that yet. Maybe that's something she'll have to consider more, and despite being a natural loner to what extent that may be non-viable the deeper she dives.

She is japanese after all.... something about unhealthy work culture

 

[Roodypatooti]

Call your girlfriend!!!

She won't

 

[Kleptocracy]

About TIME!! Sorawo's way too valuable and OP to be snatched at just once. She deserves an arc's worth, at least.

 

[damadicius]

If you gaze long into the abyss, it rent a room next to you

 

[Joddascus]

This chapter genuinely creeped me out, that’s some excellent tension

 

[AbuHajaar]

Oh god it's in the walls

Page 17 fucks holy

 

[friendly]

Makes me smile to see other people remember Mimi's Ghost Stories- my personal favorite of Mr. Ito's reocurring character short stories (as opposed to things like Uzumaki where it's one continuous story more).

Things from 'that side' manifesting on their own...? Or humans behind it somewhere....? Either way isnt great.

 

[Zadrec]

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.

 

[feha]

Call your girlfriend!!!

Yeah, I was about to say the same, except nickname her "the cavalry".

Then skedaddle!
