Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 3 Ch. 13 - Kisaragi Station VII

[N2O]

I'm not sure if some overarching symbolism throughout the chapters so far that I'm too dumb to get or if they're just pulling random spooky japanese stories that I've never heard of and are just using them to put together some horror action stuff..? Doesn't seem to be much of a plot, just a random string of encounters

 

[Monky]

So unsettling

 

[twincubus]

@n2o So far most of them were references to famous japanese urban legends and creepypastas, with Hasshaku-sama, Kunekune, Kisaragi station and the Monkey Dream. Most of these you can find pretty easy, but the only translated version I've see of the original Monkey Dream story is a video by Tara A. Devlin where she plays a mobile game that is basically a collection of urban legends called Toshiden.

I really hope this part gets adapted, cause holy shit I'm ready to be terrified.

 

[Minitialize]

Damn, I had a gut feeling those soldiers weren't going to make it out of there. Looks like they won't... for now, hopefully...

 

[lookingformywife]

I did not expect this much gore and i am LOVING IT this duo is so good

 

[Shtoops]

So like... that conversation that Kozakura heard. That was definitely their voices from an alternate timeline or something. Like if they hadn't been able to get away from the monkeys or something.

i was looking forward for this scene tho.... but i guess the anime won't show the gore side of this series....

:sad monke noises:

 

[SirAllen]

For her to be a scientist she sure does have a VERY closed mind and refuses to believe people who been to the other side and has ACTUAL evidence and proof. I hate this girl.

 

[Blade1337A]

Anime did this chapter horribly

 

[Shtoops]

I'm pretty sure that bit at the end implied that another version of themselves was left behind on the train and died some sort of terrifying, horrible death.

@Shtoops
Highly unlikely. They heard the loli's voice doing the exact same thing on their end of the phone and she never set foot on the Other Side. It seems more likely something was hijacking the phone signal and copying their voices.

 

[terence0709]

the blood & gore wasn't scary at all. its that phone call recording at the end...
