Mieruko-chan, Vol. 11
Girls just wanna have fuuun! Which is why Miko and friends are heading to a festival over winter break! Only, having an axe-swinging ghost on the loose in an enclosed train car really puts a damper on the festivities…
Meanwhile, Rom Shindou seeks assistance from a dapper elderly gentleman to solve the case of the old guy in the picture. However, his friendly face hides a sinister side―and he seems rather interested in Miko Yotsuya…!

Nothing beats great Mieruko-chan, but sometimes we only get very good. That’s fine though! This one is still a spooky good time and features some changes that have kind of been a while coming.
Michiru joining the cast with her wild tentacles (that sounds worse than it is, I swear) is a fun broadening of the core group. She and Hana have the strangest bond and I just love it. Her bizarre energy definitely adds to the usual creepy antics.
Most of Michiru’s purpose seems to be adding some extra weird imagery and also throwing some yuri bait into the equation now and then. It’s basically the only real reminder of where the series started, and very minimal, so hardly egregious.
This volume also gives some focus to poor Yuria, who has to deal with a former classmate who wasn’t particularly kind to her. The ending of this one is fun, but it’s a little predictable in a series that thrives on being anything but.
The best chapter is, honestly, the first one. It focuses on Miko and her brother and features both a terrifying threat, plus a welcome return of Miko’s father. This one shows how clever Miko can be when she’s pressed and that’s always welcome, since many times she’s merely been a passive observer.
I’m not sold on the new ongoing story arc, but it’s also true that this series tends to end its big narratives well. As such, it might just need more time to cook. It wasn’t grabbing me this time though; a bit too obvious.
There’s also a callback to a monster that showed up previously in the series and it wasn’t as great the second time around. It was a bit unclear how the ending resolved as well, which was really unfortunate (I think the perspective lets it down).
So, not quite perfect. Still, it’s got everything you love in the series, just a couple added lumps in the gravy. It’ll hopefully really pay off the set-up next time; the last chapter was kind of dull until the cliffhanger, so that might be part of my dissatisfaction.
4 stars - an easy recommend, even with a few flaws. This is never less than readable, but it’s definitely had stronger volumes.

Miko celebrates New Year's with her friends and has a few tense but sideways confrontations with some of the many spirits she always sees.
It's a little frustrating to see how little agency she has in this situations, but at least she's trying stuff. I don't need her to become Buffy or a Van Helsing, but it would be nice if she had a few more tools to work with.
And maybe the continuation of the slow introduction of a new character named Seto will work toward doing something about that. He certainly is working with a full toolbox.

Contents: Chapters 56-60 -- Bonus Manga -- Afterword

The 11th volume! Before the festival (was terrifying and I was just like NOPE, though I did have a laugh how Michiru was fine with certain moments, the yuri goes strong), the festival (full of bunnies, more bunnies, oh and of course your day to day nightmares including one on someone Yuria knows (not in a good way), I was definitely terrified at points, so thanks), and karaoke (with friends and doom, of course), and more! All filled with ghosts that will make you pee yourself. Plus, we also get to see Seto (sus dude) and Rom (he is in trouble). I love the little things outside of Mieruko seeing creepy things! I am so happy with this series! It is such a delight. Terrifying and nightmare inducing, but fun!

A great read as always both in its depiction of the various monsters and twisting the expected, although nothing too surprising at a first glance. Nothing big going on, except a bit of setup for the next arc (suitably creepy), and some typical interaction between high school friends and family muddied by the monsters that only Miko can see. The interaction between Miko and Michiru is yuri-light and a bit of a reminder of the series origin with its echi elements, although only in a limited fashion in this volume. All in all, a great addition to the series.

Okay, look - I love well written filler episodes that stand alone from the main storyline, and this has some great ones (we even get some welcome Yuria backstory). But at the same time - a bunch of new story threads were introduced in the last couple volumes that are barely explored here, and we’re left waiting to see where those will lead. This one also loses points for a whole chapter that feels phoned in (being a near carbon copy of a chapter from an earlier volume). I probably sound more negative than I intended to here - there’s a lot to like in this volume. It just falls short of the excellence of other recent volumes.

Conocemos a Seto, que es un señor que algo tiene que ver con Rommi, y parece será clave en el siguiente arco.
En el inter tenemos una historia de Yuria con una antigua compañera escolar, nice
3.6 a pesar de ser tomo puente

Al fin tuvimos un poco más de Yulia!! me gusta mucho su personaje. El dibujo increíble como siempre y me gusta el diseño de esos "hombres de negro". Aún así no lo encontré tan bueno como los dos anteriores, pero no es un descenso significativo en calidad.

Miko has trouble dealing with an ax-wielding spirit on a train that she's seen before. Hana is excited to get a shiny lambun at the Lambun Festival. I liked this festival story - very different from the typical with an attempted exorcism and one spirit eating another.

We’re leaving Christmas behind and enjoying the week before New Year’s Day with a Lambun festival. Enjoy the snow and the festival food and as always… try not to catch the attention of the spooky things wandering about. This includes the creepy shadow men that have been tailing you.

still good
I enjoyed the new years content. Similar to the last volume I feel like this one went by pretty quickly.

~quick thoughts~
• a bit slower, nothing much progression in the story, it's just building up to something
• the volumes end very quickly without a bigger thing happening, but that's not too bad since the horror imagery is the focus
• the monster designs are still splendid

Ando un poco decepcionada porque en este tomo, Chiruru ya no sale tanto. Por otro lado, tenemos un señor que no ve a los espíritus, pero los "oye"?
Y tiene un séquito de tipos bien malandrosos xD pero por si solo parece tener técnicas muy buenas.
Llegue hasta el capítulo 63, veamos si más adelante tengo la oportunidad de seguir leyéndolo.
Antes me obligué a seguir viendo el anime de Natsume Yuunjinchou, pero al final no vi progresión... Definitivamente Mieruko me gustó mucho más. Algún día :)
