[pilafrice0]

I can't find the space-time man urban legend anywhere. Is there a translated version of it on the internet or is it only in Japanese?

 

[dokidoki]

well this arc looks like its gona be creeper then the last one.....sounds like fun

 

[ManyDongs]

This gave me chills, I love it.

@pilafrice0 It's a story posted on 2channel. Jikuu no Oosan (時空のおっさん) in japanese.

Spoiler

He lives in the space between the real world and the Otherside

 

[Cerberusyuri]

[EggsNRice]

This story is so fucking interesting

 

[makino_nishina]

That hair in the water tank notice reminded me of Elisa Lam

 

[pilafrice0]

@2501 Thanks! Really had trouble looking for it with random keywords like "japanese urban legend space time" and such

Yet another chilling chapter! And yay for more urban legend!
Looking forward for the continuation and more creepiness.
God, I really love this story. It brings me back to my middle school self, liking to read blog posts about Japanese urban legends and horror things despite being so scared of it.

Trying to represent the blue light of the other side in a black and white medium is quite a challenge. It basically requires that Sorawo tell us that it's there. It's working well enough so far, but I wonder how well it will work

Spoiler

in the beach story. That's one where a saavy enough person can put together the pieces ("they're on an otherworldly beach under a bright blue sky. ...Oh fuck.") before Sorawo realizes it.

In other news... Man, until I saw it in this chapter I didn't even get the "404 Toriko not found" joke. If someone hasn't written a creepy story about people vanishing from room 404 by now I'll be very surprised.

That whole "everyone around you disappears" thing is one of those scary situations that can just hit really well. Very creepy indeed.

I remember reading this bit in LN and when Sorawo heard that footsteps and running behind the door I got massive chills. It was creepy and disturbing as hell <3 This manga does a really good job in following the LN.

i almost regret starting this manga

i hate it when i fall in love with a story but I have to wait for chapters to come out

I'd rather wait and read the whole thing together, but now i cant do that

I wonder who the man was talking with. Is there an organization of middle-aged men, or it's just for creepiness? and what was the 'source of hair' inside the tank. I hope it was the person in charge and not Toriko. Or maybe it's just for creepiness.

On a side note, next remake of The beauty and the beast must have Mrs. Potts live in room 418 before the curse.

@Madcat6204
I don't think so. That interference-like pattern has become pretty recognizable, as they only use it instead of that blue. I'm pretty sure that next time we see it, most people would understand what it means by themselves, even if they may not remember that it's supposed to be blue.

The janitor sounds like Ai-chan's uncle who lives in the sticks and keeps saying "Get off my lawn, damn brats!"

 

[AgentKuga]

shit oooh room 404 wow i'm an idiot
oh this janitor he's kinda one watches over the area he lives in and makes sure no one trespasses and kicks them out with a warning?
Also where'd Toriko go, and what was the hair?

 

[Madcat6204]

and what was the 'source of hair' inside the tank.

and what was the hair?

The implication is that the person in charge fell into the tank and drowned. The notice is intended to be strange: it's one of the clues that Sorawo isn't properly on Earth anymore.
