I'm not incredibly interested in seeing any more of this particular ghost, or having Reiko interact with any other ghosts. Of course, if that's what the author wants to do, fine, and maybe it'll be good.

But to me that path just inevitably leads to gratuitous world-building, and the generation of a bunch of technical questions about how ghosts work in this storyworld, etc.

Some backstory on Reiko herself would be welcome, but I'm mostly here for the cute, not for a Mieruko-chan knockoff.

Dang, this page gave me the heebie-jeebies. :-/ Is anyone here well-versed enough in horror tropes to explain to me what makes this kind of ghost depiction so unnerving?

I imagine the lack of defined facial features makes it all the more unnerving. Kind of an uncanny valley thing where it looks just enough human to make you see the resemblance but far enough away for you to know it's not and that something is very wrong. Some theorize the uncanny valley is an instinctual disgust for corpses; i.e. it looks like a living person, but its not and its dangerous to be near it so we respond with "EW!! GROSS!! GET IT AWAY!!"

Having thought about it, I think it's the combo of an eyeless face and an toothless open mouth that got to me. Uncanny valley all way.

I cant help but sheeeep Hikari and reiko sigh

I think Reiko is supposed to be a little girl, like a similar age and maturity to the little girl she met at the Halloween festival a few chapters ago.

Too wholesome!!!

Just a thought.
When Reiko pushed Ghostface Killah thru the wall, Ghostface might have ended up in Yuinas toilet cubicle. Lol

So cute

Reiko - 1
real life depiction of a ghost girl - 0

I clicked about 20 times too. It works now.

So bizarrely cute.

Come to think of it, this could explain why she passed on.

Until we get a better explanation, it's going to be my fanon. (nods, nods)

I'm convinced.

That's not a ghost.

That's her 「STAND」!

This manga makes my day. Its so adorable

Ah, but of course Reiko would be able to actually see Hikari's spirit leaving her body. :D

Dang. Reiko is kinda ruthless.

Awww they're teaching her letters

Hikari is thinking about Reiko 700% than she does Yuina

I adore this fic. It makes my day.

Pretty sure that was the punchline of the chapter

Shipping Hikari and Reiko feels wrong, since Reiko looks and acts like a child and Hikari acts more like one of her two moms.

Yes, that's literally the punchline of the chapter. Great job, detective.

The fact that it's literally impossible for Hikari to physically touch Reiko should help to keep any problematic ethical issues at bay.

They spelled out Love while cheerleading, does this count as yuri now?

The poster above you pointed that out chief.

I could answer this in a variety of ways from the dry "love (in english) is just a Cute word in Japanese pop culture" to the absurd "NO, its NOT Yuri untill they are consumating their wedding"
