Or more like, a list of some horror manga I love lol.

Disclaimer: ofc this is up to my taste, others might not share the same liking and that's fine! I just feel like sharing them.

Foreword: Generally, the kind of horror I love can be described as "mundane yet terrifying aspects of life", such as urban legends of a school, hospital, apartments, etc. So you'll see it a lot here.

After a few days of binge reading, I finished "Ghost Hunt" manga, including the sequel, "Akumu no Sumu Ie".

I've read this manga long ago, watched parts of the anime, and I remember loving it so much. Even now, many years later, it's still in my heart. Though what I remembered now before re-read was only (spoilers redacted). Anyway, in recent years, I've been wanting to revisit it and finally went ahead with it.

It's an amazing series, quickly becoming my favorite.

It has a different approach to the supernatural you'd see in fictional works. The horror is top-notch, each arcs are uniquely terrifying and put you on edge. The core mystery of Naru is amazingly well-done. While the main characters might not have any big character development, I love them. They're all charming, especially their interactions. I really love their familial bond. My love to this series is renewed. I love this series so much, I need more!!

SPOILERS ALERT.

Rambling about "In/Spectre" manga volume 16. SPOILERS ALERT.

Thoughts about "Shishou Series" manga.

Thoughts about the similiarities between "Shishou Series" and "Phenomeno" and the kind of horror they represent that I love.
