Collect 見える子ちゃん 2 (Mieruko-chan, #2) Designed By Tomoki Izumi E-Text

unexpected rival has appeared!

Miko is still dealing with ghosts the best way she can.
As those of you who have read the first volume of the series I am sure you are aware of her astonishing ability to not let the grotesque undead spirits that surround her even know she can see them and thus make them generally lose interest in her fast.
However when your best friend puts out an aura that drives hosts to her like moths to a flame then there is only so much ignoring you can do so Miko is also quite skilled in the art of covertly warning those around her without letting the ghosts or her targets from knowing why.


As for the so called rival poor Miko doesn't even realize the new girl Yuria, who realizes she can see ghost too, is responsible for the departure of the Godmother and decides she can do as good if not better then Miko.
. . when it rains it pours sometimes, Little does little Yuria realize literally little, she's like a legal loli in this story that her ability to see ghosts only allows her to see low ranking and less grotesque shades compared to Miko's unfortunate crystal clarity of the worse of the worse so her perceptions of what happens to these lesser ghosts are filtered by her beliefs in Miko making her all the more formidable a rival.


Like the last volume this one alternates a bit with short stories but I have a feeling that Miko's ability to see the dead is not just a factor of having a constantly charged ghost magnet friend but rather something bigger yet to come.
After all she has a little help with some of the potentially more dangerous spirits in this book so far after visiting a shrine though I worry about what price Miko will have to pay if the grand spirit or possibly god come to collect for services rendered.
I won't mention any details on the stories so you can experience the chills and happy moments for yourself, I just hope you are not to scared to see the scary finale of this volume as an old face comes back into the story and then we are treated to some nice short stories before getting a little more creepy art.


One thing I can say I am glad about is in the first volume they had the translation notes early on in the volume which threw me off since normally something like that would be reserved for the end of the book and although this one did not have translation notes that I recall I would rather they be missing then part way through the story especially when it happened in the introductory volume of the series.
If you decide to dive into this volume I wish you the best of luck when sleeping so you do not remember the nightmares created so flawlessly in this series.
: Etwas besser als der erste Band, Mal schauen wie es sich weiter entwickelt, Leider noch mehr sexistische Zeichnungen, Nervig Mikos problems havent gone away when you can see spirits and demons there really isnt much by way of out of sight, out of mind.
Still with new friends and close encounters getting ever closer, is there any hope for our hapless heroine

First volume of this book started off with a lot of cheesecake and some dead stuff and grotesques and not much else, then got good at the end.
I am happy to say that this volume solidifies the series as an okay read, trending towards good, It really finds its footing here,

Partly thats because of the addition of the extremely goofy Yukia, who isnt in Miko and Hanas class but sure knows who Miko is.
They share a similar power, but with a key difference that makes her a lot of fun she also allows for a welcome cameo by the uppity fortune teller from the first volume.


Yukia sees the same things as Miko, but only the “lesser spirits”, The truly horrific stuff, once more the artist is clearly having the time of their life with this, is still only visible to Miko.
The juxtaposition of Hana, who cant see anything, Yukias halfsight, and Mikos fullsight, is a great concept, It really comes to the fore in the tunnel story,

Hana and Miko have a really great friendship and I love them on their own palling around by themselves as well.
Without the rampant male gaze that lead the first volume theres nothing terribly objectionable here either, It feels like the author got a lot more confidence in the story they were telling,

And, hey, it shows, There is an early section at a shrine that leads into an absolutely fascinating bit of story that I am very keen to see play out.
It features one word, uttered with the force of a bomb “Thrice”, and when it comes back into the story later it pays off in a way most stories couldnt do nearly as well, while also setting up an intriguing plot point for later.


While we dont get an amazing twist chapter like the first instalment, you dont really need it here because everything is working a step above the first book.
One moment featuring their teacher, however, goes down far, far differently than expected and it shows that this series can definitely land an emotional moment when it wants this is so different from its usual style that I especially loved it.


I dinged A Witchs Love, etc, this week for being too expectant on the reader to remember prior volumes.
This has the same problem, but in this instance I think revisiting the latter half of the first Mierukochan is worth it because the story is better and the repeated callbacks are important the ending lands harder and the mystery of that line of dead people next to the fast food place gets some suggestive hints.


.stars, rounded down because I want the third volume to be this good before I start rounding up, This is really tight though in volume, the last story saved the entire book, This one tones done the raunchiness in favour of straight up horror/comedy and is a solid read the whole way through.
It has a real foundation to build from now and Im glad I stayed with it, Content warnings: Ghosts, body horror, disturbing imagery

It took so much of my selfcontrol to not immediately inhale this as soon as it hit my phone.
Continuing with the excellent ghost designs, this volume introduces new characters and new lore , while still keeping up the sliceoflife pacing.


I winced at every new ghost introduced here, They are larger, more intricate, but I really liked how Izumi introduces softer moments where maybe the ghosts arent all bad.
In fact, helping them find closure Sixth Sense style might be a way for Miko to find peace with her new horrifying ghouls.


One of my favorite archetypes is the character who declares themself to be someones apprentice, Here comes Yuria, a fledging medium who wants to know why the old woman closed up her shop and what exactly is up with Miko seeing ghosts beyond ever her comprehension.
I cant wait to see how this relationship evolves, especially since Miko tries to maintain that she cannot see anything going on around her.
This was both terrifying and wholesome, Oh and a dash of sad, I decided to read some more of this series now that it is close to Halloween the anime is airing! I just had to read! And I am happy I did because DANG this volume was good! There were some sad moments followed by wholesome moments, I really loved that not everything was SCARY HORROR MONSTERS.
Plus, there is some humour as well, especially with the addition of Julia who thinks that Miko is a great exorcist.
. . in the mean time Miko is all confused and is just trying to survive/get through her day without getting a heartattack from scary beasties.

I love the friendship between Hana and Miko,
Oh, and I am very curious about what happened at the shrine and what thosetimes will mean and what will happen next!
On to the next This series keeps hanging just on the verge of being really good, but it won't let go of the one gag it repeats over and over again: the girl who can see gross and terrifying demons, spirits, and ghosts pretends she doesn't.
Fortunately there is a smidge of forward motion with an intriguing visit to a shrine that has some extended consequences, and there is another touching ghost story.
Here's hoping the next volume I have on hand finds more of that traction instead of letting the tires keep on spinning in the mire.
Miko struggles to keep her sight a secret from all the spooky things in the world only for it to get discovered by Yuria, an amature psychic who can also see.
. . some of the spooky things and doesn't realize how dangerous some of them can be, Though Miko does manage to find a bit of help, . .

But that last short was so sweet and heartwarming! Nada nuevo, tiene un poco más de historia que el primer tomo y al fin dejaron el fanservice innecesario pero todavía sigo esperando a que salgan fantasmas verdaderamente aterradores.
. .
En fin, hay algo más de trama pero sigue siendo un manga que para mí sirve para rellenar tiempos libres y no necesariamente un interés genuino en los personajes.
seems like i won't be sleeping peacefully tonight This artist truly creatures some of the ugliest and most disturbing ghost/creatures/monsters ever.


This continues the storyline of the last, Still Mieruko refuses to look at any ghost in her seights, However, when a new girl comes on the scene and claims she can see ghost it might be hard to avoid it forever.
Seeing as the new girl can only see normal level ghost and not the big vicious creatures Mieruko can it gets to be a challenge.


Inbetween all the disgusting creatures and some cool brutal fight scenes with ghost/spirts verse each other came a few funny moments and a tender moment of a new mother expecting her second child after losing her first.
It's rather touching and done well, And the last few pages gave me a chill down my spine for our main characters,

Overall, a really cute at times, disturbing at others, and touching somehow all in one package, I'm really digging this series, It's cool how this manga is developing an internal mythology as it goes along: the seers and their powers or lack thereof, the cat spirits or are they foxes who step in to help Miko on a "three wishes" basis, as well as the idea that these weird looking monsters have their origins in us.


Loses some points for fight scenes that are hard to follow, and Hana's character design, She's been around since the beginning of the story and it wouldn't work to change her design, even if Izumi decided they wanted to.
Still, I can really do without modern shonen manga's seeming requirement to have at least one character who's got boobs the size of canteloupes.


I like Yuria as a character, although her perceptions of Miko "using her powers" were stretching an idea rather thin, I think.
She'll be a fun addition to the cast as someone who has something in common with Miko that both of them must conceal from Hana.
Yuria brings some interesting angles into play, as does Godmother, I do like that it's getting a bit less episodic and having more of a long plot, The ghosts continue to be delightfully creepy, and Hana and Mieruko have such a great friendship! The travails continue of poor Miko who can see ghosts actually more like spectral monsters that are invisible to others.
She ignores them even though theyre terrifying to look at, Another classmate Julia can also see spirits but not the larger more horrifying ones, Meanwhile Hana, Milos bff who is constantly hungry is completely oblivious,

The other girl who has the sight just make me laugh, What she sees and what is actually going on are so different, I wish she would see things for what they really instead of thinking the main character is trying to show her 'powers'.
Some of these ghosts are genuinely disturbing, the artwork is great,

On top of that, Yuria is introduced and has a misunderstanding with Miko that leads her to believe that Miko is an incredibly

powerful exorcist.
I really enjoyed their dynamic, Hopefully Miko can get some help soon, poor girl,
I was a bit afraid that this manga was going to lead nowhere and would continuously play on the gimmick that Mieruko just tries to ignore all these yokai however, it seems that the plot is really slowly coming together and there seem to be a bit of character development as well.
Hence, I won't be giving up on this manga :

Definitivamente voy a por el siguiente mañana mismono lo leo ahora mismo porque hay que dormir xd Looking forward to volume

As bad as I feel for this girl, the story remains interesting.
Why does she continue to see these things Why can this new character see some of the creatures, but not all of them I think Ill like their “rivalry,” and I cant wait to meet others who can see the things Miko can.
Hopefully we get more insight into what these things are, and how Mikos “Sight” factors into things, خیلی از داستانش خوشم نیومد Me encanta, es muy adictivo, hay nuevos personajes que me han agradado principalmente Julia,

En serio esto es como una droga no puedo dejarlo, Quiero saber que pasa que cosas nuevas hay,./I like where this is going I just wish there was more development into the ghosts, Where there is some development, it is getting good! There are a few really touching moments at the end that make the whole volume.
Some of the chapters are just ok for me though, The art is fantastic and super scary at times, For this second Volume, I hoped to see Miko finally admit that she could see the spirits, but I'm not sure she ever will! This Volume definitely expanded the world, some but also showed a possibility for a villain.
. . not really sure where this is going to go,
Highlights:
Hana saves a dog from a cursed house, completely oblivious to the nasty spirit following her around, that eats other smaller spirits
Miko takes Hana to a temple, to help ward off the spirit following her.
It kind of works, but before the spirit fades away it touches Miko and says "Three Days"
Onto the scene comes Julia, who can also see spirits.
But when she confronts Miko at school about it, we discover that she can only see smaller and weaker spirits.
Julia takes Miko's ignoring as a threat,
Miko comes across an old woman who needs help home, When the spirit of her dead husband communicates a safe combination, the old woman is able to get a comb that he bought for her, which puts him at peace.

LOL Miko is the shy girl, Hana is the fan service girl and Julia is the tsundere type
Julia wants to exploit Hana's love for photography and force Miko to admit her ability, but rather than admit it, she keeps "showing off", making Julia assume things.

Miko and her brother Kyousuke go shopping for their mom's birthday, and a spirit on the train with an axe causes fear to rise in Miko, but she ignores it, yet again.

Miko and Hana's teacher is leaving on maternity leave, but Miko sees a spirit interacting with the baby, Turns out it is the spirit of her previous child, who she lost before birth, This was so sweet and left the Volume on a high note!
But why does their new sub have a particularly dark spirit attached to him

Overall, still following the same premise, which keeps me reading.
Recommend. A fun manga that puts a spin on some familiar tropes, .
