![]() ![]() What you will do will be trying to figure out what’s going on. No time is wasted here, each ghost helps the story moving forward. All you have are some at first seemingly filler chapters, but truth is that they are not. Thanks to the excellent writing, the author will never let you predict what’s gonna happen next. The mystery element is very important in this one. This alone, in my opinion, will keep your interest strong not knowing what the real deal with this weird manga is. It’s very slow, it gives you hints here and there about the real main plot, but without giving away too much. Mieruko-chan strength consists in episodic events and in an overarching plot. ![]() It never gets interesting, nothing is ever explained, and if did, it’s poorly done. In horror manga usually the plot point is a let down. So yeah, without further distractions, let’s get into it and see what’s Ladies and Gentlmen, Mieruko-chan gave to all of us readers hope. This is a love letter to all of us, bored with all of those what-so-called horror books, those that they never leave an impression to you, and you just give up on the genre. First of all, let’s be clear that what I sad applies for horror fans. It’s something you didn’t know you needed but were still looking for. A manga that shines brighter than most manga. It will be interesting to see if Mieruko-Chan can find a way to build upon its formula and get closer to any sort of progress in its story and depth on its characters, because the comedy in Mieruko-Chan is not as good at this point to overcome its repetitiveness a reaction face can only be funny for so long. The repetitiveness in Mieruko-Chan's formula makes its characters feel a bit shallow and stereotypical up until this point in the story (Miko's best friend Hana is your stereotypical attractive happy-go-lucky girl who has no idea what is actually going on around here, Miko's little brother is your stereotypical younger brother who is kind of concerned with his sister and her erratic behavior). After eight chapters the formula of Miko being extremely terrified for an entire chapter is getting a bit repetitive and you would like to see the story move forward in some how or way. It's still early in Mieruko-Chan's run (only 8 chapters out so far) but there are definitely some concerning trends should this series go the distance. The designs are vague, as they are mostly deformed masses of flesh with some eyes and mouths thrown in there for good measure, but they get the job done in two levels: 1) It scares the living hell out of our heroine and 2) they make for an interesting visual contrast between the horrific monsters and the girls that are drawn in the most attractive way possible (and in the first few chapters, with a lot of fan-service thrown there for good measure). ![]() These monsters whose origin is still to be determined, are drawn in the most horrifying way possible. black comedy, derived by the absolute terror Miko feels when encountering those monsters in every place imaginable (from her classroom to the girls' locker room and from her bathroom to her own bed). This isn't your feel good story about a girl becoming the "heroine that fights and beats the monsters that she can only see" nor the "girl helps the spirits so they can finally cross to the other side instead of lingering on this earth". ![]() At this point you must be thinking that you've already seen the "girl sees things no one else can see" thing done a million times, right? Well, actually that's not entirely the case with Mieruko-Chan. Mieruko-Chan is a collection of mostly stand-alone chapters about a girl (Miko) who can see monsters that no one else can see. ![]()
