#The girl who sees them manga full
The creature is a powerful and dangerous one, inhabiting a tunnel full of ghosts. Here we are entering the realm of really disturbing beings. There is still no information regarding the underworld in the manga, but I guess that this ghost is of another hierarchical level, smarter than the normal ones, and with a specific role, instead of simply wandering around like other mindless ghosts. The ghost is aggressive and intelligent, necessary skills to hunt and kill other ghosts. The body is probably also hiding its horrific nature under the coat, however, it is still possible to see several insect-like limbs ripping out of the coat. The eyes are also different, one is white and lightfull, while the other is black and empty. The human appearance is only superficial, for example, the face is composed of different mouths, kept together by bandages. Its predatory behavior is integrated into the design: the axe is covered in barbed wire and it is dragging around a sack, which contains the bodies of its victims. The creature could pass for a human under its raincoat, especially considering the aesthetic of other ghosts in this list, if was not for some really wrong details. It is wielding a sharp and deadly axe, the main weapon to fulfill its role. This ghost is a puzzling and creepy entity, and apparently, its job is to hunt other ghosts. The ghost is clearly bothering, but at least not dangerous. The grotesque figure spends its time by chatting and gossiping between the four heads, in a constant flow of mindless babbling. Grinning mouths run with impossible angles, while eyes have unnatural shapes and positions. Each face is like a broken and distorted mirror of what a girl’s face should be like.

Four long necks rip-out from the shirt, holding-up twisted and contorted faces. The ghost looks like a schoolgirl, with the uniform partially torn and in disorder.

Regardless of the creepy design, the creature is not directly harmful. The ghosts are missing any proper name, so to classify them I created a name, which of course could be not reflected in the official manga. The article will be updated when new and creepy creatures will appear in future chapters.

In the following article, I will analyse the most disturbing ghosts of Mieruko-chan. The manga is still on-going online, with around 26 chapters and, at the moment, no physical edition. Of course, there are also the aggressive ghosts, attacking other beings, sometimes randomly, or focusing their attention on humans with high spirituality or able to see them. Also, the intellect is different and, if some ghosts are almost mindless, others are in charge of different tasks inside the hierarchy of the cryptic underworld. Others, even if not directly dangerous, are more cryptic and bizarre, with incomprehensible patterns and actions, generally reflected in their alien and twisted anatomies. Some of them are clearly peaceful being, existing just to exist, maybe chattering or minding their role, very similar to a human-like behaviour. The ghosts are a kind of interesting cryptid with complex behaviour. This is a manga with a double soul, almost a comedy until the disturbing ghosts suddenly appear to break the everyday life of the protagonist with their obsessive habits.

If the girls in the manga are pictured in a cute style, the contrapposition with the creatures is strong, since also the art-style changes to create twisted nightmares made of strong and chaotic black ink. While the trick could be boring after several chapters, a top-level and innovative creature design will always keep the interest high. Roughly translated as “the girl that sees them,” the plot of Mieruko-chan is really simple: the protagonist can see disturbing ghosts but, while terrified, she tries to not mind their presence so the ghosts will not realise that she can see them. With great surprise, I have to say that Mieruko-chan is a fresh wind in horror manga, especially for its twisted and innovative ghosts. However, it is not easy for a horror manga to achieve such disturbing creatures as Ito’s ones, with only few names really standing-out for their innovative monster designs. Some of his stories have also twisted and grotesque creatures, which some time ago I compiled in a Bestiary (part 2 available here: The monsters of Junji Ito: Part 2). His works are always incredibly creepy and disturbing, something that will stick in my mind for a long time. If you read previous articles, probably it is not a surprise that I am a fan of Junji Ito.
