Mieruko-chan

Why?

DEFROST

Gosh, that's so scary, so terrifying.

That's so foul!

Hitoe, what will you do if that scary experience happened to you?

I don't know.

Is it better to pretend you don't see them?

Or chant the prayers?

Oh, that one! People say that a lot.

Or pouring salt,

or prayer beads or exorcists item?

I GOT MEME-CHAN!

GREAT!

Man, the bath is clogged.

Huh? Why?

Because of your hair, maybe?

No way.

By the way, there's a horror show on.

Seriously? I want to see it.

Wait, where's Mom?

She'll be late, it seems.

I see.

Hey, it's Junji Rousoku!

Miko, don't you like Junji Rousoku?

-Not at all. - You say it like that.

Just don't try to seek my underwear.

YOTSUYA

ALARM SNOOZE, STOP

Come on, what are you doing?

There's nothing over there!

Hey! Wait, stop!

Look, we need to go!

There's a meal back home.

Hey!

Miko, you'll be late!

Yes.

Miko, did you bring an umbrella?

Nah, it'll be okay.

The TV said it might rain today.

If it does, I'll just buy at the store.

I'll be leaving.

Have a safe trip!

Huh?

It's Mathematics for the first period!

Ugh, there will be a short test too! Such a bummer.

Morning!

Morning, Hana.

How did you know it was me?

The force.

That said, aren't you a downer?

It's still morning.

Meme-chan! Did you buy it?

Yes, at the VilleVan.

What? That's nice!

I want it too!

There's your favorite rabbit too.

LamRabbit! It's Lambda Rabbit!

Yes, you look like it.

LamRabbit goods are often exclusive, so they get sold out fast.

And yet, your room is filled with its dolls.

How did you know?

You're in the way.

Ah, sorry.

You see…

Nothing.

Who is she?

From the next door class?

Anyway,

the important thing here is

how the main character thought of why he was turning into a tiger.

To be honest, it's unclear, right?

Let's see.

What will you think if it's you?

What if, by turning into a tiger, you start to forget your humanity?

Yotsuya!

Yes?

Could you read for me from page 57?

Yes.

Let's see.

When the party arrived at the top of the hill,

just as told, they turned back

and looked into the bushes between the trees.

After a while, they saw a tiger coming out of the bush into the road.

The tiger then…

I'm famished!

You already ate your bread though?

That's like an appetizer.

Such an endless appetite.

I just have a good appetite. I get hungry fast.

Is that even okay?

Lately, I am so hungry when I wake up.

I look at the clock.

Surprisingly, it's three in the morning! Three o'clock!

What's so surprising?

After all, when I look at the fridge, there's only leftover food.

There is fried chicken, gyoza, and hamburger steak, you know?

That's enough though.

Also, the clock has stopped.

I see.

Lately, it stops a lot.

I wonder if it's hungry for electricity too.

The fluorescent lamp also turns off a lot.

Don't tell me the whole house is hungry?

That's impossible.

Hana?

Come on! You just ate mine, right?

Eh? What do you--

-Stop it, Miko! -Sheesh.

Hey, want to buy underwear next time?

-Sure. -Yay!

You know, lately my bra is getting tight.

Over information.

All right! I'll save some money.
