Visual feast, plot famine.

This series is always creepy, but this volume treads water as Miko finds herself forced into a relationship with the new transfer student who looks like a model to everyone else but has a head full of tentacles through Miko's eyes. They hang out at school and form a study group. And that's it.

Regardless, I'm asking my local library to order the next two volumes. Because when something does happen, I want to be there . . .


FOR REFERENCE:

Contents: Chapter 47 -- Chapter 48 -- Chapter 49 -- Chapter 50, Part 1 -- Chapter 50, Part 2 -- Bonus 1 -- Bonus 2 -- Special Thanks

Miko’s found a new best friend in Michiru, whether she wants one or not. It’s pretty awkward, since everybody sees Michiru as a beauty while Miko sees her as a mass of writhing tentacles. And those things don’t mask their emotions well at all…

This is a bit of a slight slump for the series, largely because this is still a middle section of the whole Michiru plotline and it doesn’t give up a ton by way of information. Instead, it opts to just keep ratcheting up the tension as an alternative. Still, it is incredibly good at pulling that mood off.

I do constantly appreciate the dichotomy between the core group, as Miko sees everything, Hana sees nothing, and Yuria sees just enough to be dangerous since she sometimes thinks she has a clue what’s happening.

Michiru is very intent on Miko and turns out to be psychologically and literally incredibly clingy. Amusingly, this allows the story to throw in some tentacle stuff that is not nearly as salacious as the initial volume but still harkens back to that vibe. It’s one of the few times I’ve laughed at fanservice, so that’s something.

The nice thing is that there’s no telling how badly this will actually get, so middle volume or no, I am quite interested in the climax to the arc. Michiru is protecting Miku from some supernatural threats, but she’s overprotective and smothering in the process.

Plus, even if Michiru ultimately means well, her doting sister (read: controlling and obsessive) is, if she’s not the ultimate problem, at least the catalyst that’s going to bring all of this mess piling upon itself. You can tell that the implosion is nigh at the end of the volume.

And, as usual, poor Miku is just caught in the middle of things she barely understands. She’s able to make a reasonable interpretation of how she should be handling things with Michiru based on some obvious tells about her moods, but that’s not always helpful.

The home visit at Miku’s between all the group and Michiru, arranged by the cat-loving teacher, is where the tension really starts getting pulled taut. Michiru’s protection involves a lot of consuming otherworldly entities, but Miku’s dad (still the best part of the first volume) makes a welcome reappearance.

And, as we know, her dad is very, very dead and Miku is clearly not okay with the idea of losing her dad for the second time, which is both tragic and stressful as she attempts to juggle all the forces at play here. Not to mention Michiru’s ongoing dislike of Hana.

Even with its wonderfully grotesque designs, I more often tend to think of this series as a supernatural story rather than a horror story, but boy it has its tendrils (!?) in both spaces this time. I love a good car crash in progress and, even if it doesn’t reach a conclusion, this is a solid start.

4 stars - the middle piece of a solid arc; we’ll see where the whole thing ends up, but I am fairly confident in this series by this point to assume that it will land well in some fashion or other.

Best volume since volume 2 or 3.

Basically you have Michiru wanting to get closer and closer to Miko. It's getting really weird when you learn how obsessed Michiru's sister is to her, even to go as far as showering with her. Creeeeeeeeepy. I also love how wicked and weird her sister is, by the end they amped up the horror factor nicely. I also want to know exactly what Michuiru is and why what's happening is actually happening.

Hana is also amazing as always and I'm starting to like Yuria.

A 4.5 out of 5.

The 9th volume, and I am really not into Cthulhu-chan. I am not sure what is up with her other than her infatuation with Miko that is just WAY too much, yandere-levels. Plus, I would have liked some answer at this point on the tentacles/monster stuff that surrounds her. Also what is up with her sister? Is she the reason Cthulhu-chan is like this? Or is something darker at works? That last panel in this volume, NOPITY! I hope that in the next volumes Cthulhu-chan chills a bit + we get some more answers. Oh, and I am glad Miko's dad is OK, I was so ready to yeet a table at someone otherwise. Oh, and the ghosties were properly scary again!

Michuru's School Time Adventure

Wow, I know this series has some pretty fan service moments but having a shower scene with Michiru and her sister Yoh is one heck of an opener to a story that primarily revolves around trying to understand the enigmatic transfer student and showing Yoh's obsession over her sister. Good thing a moment between Miko and Michiru gets interrupted or this manga might have suddenly gone up to a much more mature rating as Michiru's tentacles find themselves around MIko.

The new girl Michiru is a mystery for sure just as her feelings for Miko are fairly obvious but with only Miko being able to see the strange spectral form around her face it is a constant game of explanation and attempted ignorance. Ignoring ghosts are challenging enough but what can a girl do when the ghost or whatever it is not only clings to a girl in love with her but might be a danger to ghosts and possibly the living. In fact one of the more tense moments of the volume is when Miko, Michiru, hana, and Yuria come to Miko's house to study and we get to see Miko's father once more as well as the strange beast that likes hanging out with him. I have a feeling that weird creature is some sort of guardian spirit like maybe a Zashiki-warashi but surely no child like spirit considering its size and unique appearance.

3.3 stars not as much happened to move the story forward in this one and it ended in kind of a "cliffhanger". Random nudity/bath in the beginning that did highlight the creepy relationship with Yoh and Michiru. However it was not necessary as other abusive or controlling behavior was shown. The book did confirm that Michiru was stalking Miko. I really wish Miko and Yuria would have a conversation even though the misinterpretation from Yuria's side are comical. There are some potential hints about the relationships between ghosts/spirits and what they will kill and eat in this vol that have the potential to be important. We also now know that Miko can see them in old photos. It was a good Halloween read for the evening, the art is creepy as usual.

It was fun, to say the least. I feel bad for Muchiru and I loathe her sister. It disturbed me seeing how she was treating her and even after learning the reason why she did it, I still can't excuse her actions. I have a sister and I can't even imagine me doing the same thing. It feels horrendous.
Back to the story, I have almost forgotten anything about the last 8 volumes so when I read this one, I couldn't enjoy it that much. And it feels as if the story isn't progressing that much, it's way too slow.
There were some highlights regarding some ghosts but other than that, there weren't many interesting things.

Is it romantic or is it creepy?

Well there is a bunch to digest in this volume. Tentacle girl seems to really like Miko a lot, maybe on a romantic level? In any case she seems to be very very fond of Miko. There was a small revelation about Miko's dad and his weird creepy friend, I can't help but wonder why Miko doesn't try talking to her dad. Maybe she's too intimidated by his sidekick? Despite all that though the sidekick seems to be not evil? I am just absolutely in love with this series and can't wait for the rest to come out! Completely binge-worthy I wonder how hard it's going to be to wait for the next volume...

Michiru is still the most worrisome part of Miku's life. But she... or whatever it is that Miku can see, doesn't seem to be evil. It reacts mostly to Michiru's emotions; her jealousy of Hana, her adoration of Miku, her agitation at her sister, and a desire to protect her friends from other spooky things.

Which makes the sleepover study session at Miku's house that much more stressful when Michiru comes close to killing her dad's ghost.

3.5 Stars.
Miko still sees tons of souls, their new friend and student Michiru still has a spiritual tentacle monster on her head, and she is falling for Miko, but in a creepy "our spirits are bonded" way. This Volume has the reveal of Michiru's high popularity and low grades, and ends with a creepy slumber party between Miko, Hana, Yuria, and Michiru.
When will this resolve, or move onto something crazier?
Recommend.

What the heck is Michiru’s true nature, and is she a force for good, evil, or neither? This volume doesn’t bring any answers, but continues to ramp up the tension, while also providing some welcome backstory for a couple of the main characters and some very mysterious details about Miko’s home life. This continues to be a unique, imaginative horror manga, and I hope we get some answers (or at least clues) about Michiru soon!

Así como el tomo anterior profundiza en los fantasmas y lo tristes que pueden ser sus historias, en este volumen volvemos la mirada hacia el grupo de amigas de Miko. El autor logra crear una amistad real entre las chicas, mostrando una dinámica creíble y dando pie a momentos agradables de leer. El terror no escapa, claro, y ahora volvemos a ver a los seres que habían en la casa de nuestra protagonista. El "Slice of horror" funciona genial.

The author is still finding a way to sexualize the girls. There's a part where Michiru's sister is taking a shower with her, and it shows both of them naked. That was not necessary, Tomoki could have blurred Michiru's body since she's a teenager. I get that Tomoki is trying to show how controlling yoh-chan is, but there was a less sexual way of doing it. Nothing else really happens in this one, though we just learn more about Michiru's home life and see how truly obsessed with Miko.

Another interesting volume that further expands what Michiru is exactly and why she has taken some sort of “guardian angel role” with Miko. I’m very curious to see what happens too if she ever gets bold enough to mention how much she likes Miko. Will it put them both in a bad spot? I doubt it will end well.

Okay…. I know the story isn’t progressing that quickly and updates are slow, but this series is so much fun for me! I love Cthulhu-chan and I love the yandere qualities shown by her and her sister…. Also, I like how we keep accumulating questions without any answers in sight. That was a joke; I want answers! Give them, please! ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿ヽ(°□° )ノ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Há uma página em que a Hana descreve a história de um livro que estão a estudar na escola e, ou foi mal traduzido de propósito, ou é uma referência super óbvia à história da filha do Gascoigne em Bloodborne

Miko ends up coralled to be a study buddy for Michiru while avoiding her tentacles.

This was a good volume! We revisit something disturbing about Miko's family, Michiru is creepily courting Miko with pudding, and Hana is scarfing down snacks (no surprise there).

So…I already read this book but forgot to put it down as read. I’ve had this for like a year now.

I remember it being cool, with an oddly romantic tone. Although it’s welcome. Ghosts are still so cool in this.

Between the creepy overbearing fan-service and the stalling plot in this one, I was not a fan. I also feel like if it weren’t for the fan service to could recommend this to more people and it’s adding nothing to the story.

Me encantó, cada arco viene con más preguntas que respuestas.
Creo que este tomo lo termine el año pasado y ese mismo año comencé el 10 🤔
