    I Am a Hero - Vol. 5 Ch. 55

    I love how the story manages to perfectly encapsulate the Internet's terrible shitty "plans" for the zombie apocalypse and show how utterly ineffectual they are. People forget that for a zombie outbreak to happen, the vast vast majority of people would have to become zombies. Also, I always...

    I Am a Hero - Vol. 5 Ch. 47

    Ah geez, this one really hits home. Everyone is panicked and scared, and because of that they listen to unfounded rumors while putting themselves in even more risk. Hydroxychloroquine, bleach solutions for babies, etc.

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - The Greedy Goddess

    Probably the darkest storyline in this collection. This author really likes exploring the horror of being able to perceive, but not act. Another thing I like is that the procedure actually exists. The paranoid person that got people to do things for them was right, and not just manipulating...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - The Equation of Light and Shadow

    HOLY GOD the adults in this story are awful??? And that ending, where she goes and APOLOGIZES to her parents who have WIRETAPPED her in addition to putting far too much academic pressure on her and not noticing the strain she's under despite the fact that, once again, they have LITERALLY...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - The Equation of Light and Shadow

    page 17 is broken, the brown-haired girl says the same thing twice at the bottom.

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 6 - The Mystery of Masochism

    Self-harm does sometimes get explained as a way to gain a measure of control, though this isn't the philosophy I've heard from anybody who's self-harmed before. Also I'm unsure about the title. Self-harm isn't quite the same as masochism. Maybe it's a translation thing? Or maybe the author just...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - The Red Flower of Despair

    A truly happy ending is a rarity in these and other horror stories. In this case, it is used to make a point about the power of family. Let us see why. The story, like so many others in this series, takes as its themes self-interest, the place of money in society, and Japanese involvement in...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 2 Ch. 5 - The Prince of Unhappiness

    The story has a couple messages I think people are missing out on. Yes, the obvious horror components are there, especially the ending which is borrowed from another story in the same collection (My Funeral). So, first things first: the homeless people are portrayed awfully in this. The story...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - My Funeral

    I recognize this as well, and I'll repeat what I said then: that is a mighty quick funeral.

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Locked Door

    Wait, the drill happens on September 1st every year... but it's also supposed to be a surprise because it's unannounced? Isn't that kind of a contradiction? Okay, onto the review. War and Japan's involvement in them is a reoccurring theme in this collection. So is self-interest. Those two...

    Yoshimi Seki Horror Collection - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Countdown to Despair

    This story is amazing. I see people complaining about the ending being confusing or stupid, but seriously? That's the only ending that makes sense. Consider the themes of the story, the premise of "everyone has one day to live", the fact that we all have been asked that question, and that we all...

    Warau Nikumen - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Smiling Flesh Face

    This story would be greatly improved if the two girls' faces could be significantly distinguished between. Also, this story is kinda similar to Ochazuke Nori's Horror Mansion series Ch. 24, "Plastic Surgery", which features... pretty much the exact same ideas and story beats of jealousy, money...

    Horror Mansion - Vol. 10 Ch. 41 - Hole of the Deceased

    geez, everybody is some sort of messed up in this one. And sure, it's all a cold, fetid load of stereotypes (overbearing mother, appeasing father, spoiled brat, vengeful sister) that no one with any realistic worldview relates to, but at least it means that you can do some terrible things to...

    Horror Mansion - Vol. 9 Ch. 40.3 - Ryuuko

    the unfortunate implication here is "hey kids, if your mother died in childbirth it's because you killed her."

    Horror Mansion - Vol. 9 Ch. 40.2 - Ice City

    soo..... the bullies were right, then? Or something? Because as far as I could tell, this girl's mother did in fact kill someone, and then she went on to kill someone herself. The lesson of today: don't associate with people who are different, or bad things will happen! Be sure to ostracize and...

    Horror Mansion - Vol. 7 Ch. 30 - Yumeko (Story of the Demon's Mansion)

    No one else is gonna say it? Alright then. This is just Scooby Doo with consequences.

    Horror Mansion - Vol. 3 Ch. 13 - A Magic Ball
