見える子ちゃん [Mieruko-chan] #3

A teenage girl scrolls her phone with carefully practiced nonchalance — earbuds in, expression deliberately casual — while two looming, deeply unsettling dark creatures crowd in on either side of her in what appears to be a train car. That tension between mundane teenage normalcy and encroaching horror is the quiet genius of Mieruko-chan, and this volume's cover captures it perfectly. If you enjoy supernatural horror laced with deadpan humor, this series deserves a spot on your shelf.
