Goddamn, that horror manga's name is hard to remember. Wanted to read some chapters on my chromebook while I was camping a few Pokestops and kept drawing blanks. Thankfully I remember the girl's name.

I re-read the first three chapters and realized I'd forgotten a few details, like the fact that Kishida (or whatever) was friends with Ryoko when they were very young (which is used for the lead-in to "Ferris Wheel of Death") and that apparently he had seen other ghosts before her. And apparently that first chapter's art was a lot better than some of the stuff I glanced at in a later chapter, so that's probably where my expectations were distorted.

It was also useful for refreshing my memory concerning a few supporting characters. (And actually, the thing in chapter 8 iirc had a callback to an earlier chapter -- which I *think* I remember what happened -- which was another reason why I figured just re-reading everything made sense.)

By the way, a while back I was watching a video discussing either the work of Junji Ito or Lovecraft (or somebody who compared both) and one of the vlogger's observations was that the protagonists in these stories basically serve as witnesses rather than active players. I think that might be one of things I like about Shibito, since Kishida seems to discover the cause of spooky happenings but usually he doesn't really stop it himself (except maybe by escaping and telling others)
