☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume of Yukinobu Tatsu's supernatural action-comedy series continues the chaotic adventures of high schoolers Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura (aka Okarun) as they navigate a world of ghosts, aliens, and bizarre curses. Collecting chapters from the ongoing manga, the story deepens the bond between the duo while introducing new threats and allies, including a mysterious new character tied to the series' escalating paranormal conflicts.
In "Let's Just Call Her 'Acro-Silky'", Momo's sudden rift with Ken leaves her isolated just as the school is pulled into an alternate dimension—only she, Ken, and Aira seem to be affected. Written by Yukinobu Tatsu, Kumar Sivasubramanian, and Jennifer LeBlanc, with art and inks by Tatsu and lettering by Kyla Aiko, this 2023 issue from Viz captures a tense, surreal shift in the trio's dynamic. The cover, also by Yukinobu Tatsu, hints at the strange, fluid world unfolding within.
In "Acro-Silky," Jo finds herself caught between desperation and danger when the acrobatic spirit Silky offers to revive Aira—but only if Momo becomes a psychic conduit. As the ritual begins, Momo is thrust into visions of a past too painful to remember, unraveling the truth behind the demon’s creation.
In "Eat Some Somen Noodles or Something," Ken’s bizarre recovery of a lost body part sets off a chain of awkward tension when Aira, smitten and bold, makes a move on him at school—only for Momo to arrive at the worst possible moment. The story blends surreal humor with quiet dread, turning a simple school moment into something strangely unsettling.
In "I've Got This Funny Feeling," Momo's sudden jealousy creates a rift with Ken, leaving her isolated just as the school is pulled into an eerie alternate dimension—where only she, Ken, and Aira seem to notice the shift. The story unfolds with quiet dread as the trio’s fragile connection is tested in a world that feels both familiar and deeply wrong.
In "They're, Like, Back Again," Momo, Ken, and Aira find themselves trapped in a flooded school hallway, where a plesiosaurus prowls the water, a humanoid Japanese Mantis Shrimp stalks the shadows, and Serpoians move in to harvest their reproductive organs—all while the familiar halls have become a surreal, deadly maze. The story unfolds with relentless tension, blending body horror, sci-fi dread, and surreal imagery in a way that keeps every step uncertain.
In "Momo Still Has Some Pent-Up Feelings," Momo confronts her emotions head-on as tensions rise during a chaotic battle against the Serboians, her psychic powers flaring in response to jealousy and rage. When the school floods, the group is swept into a submerged nightmare, trapped in a vast pool with a lurking plesiosaur.
