Mieruko-chan

Miko Yotsuya wakes one day able to see grotesque spirits everywhere: on trains, in classrooms, beside strangers, and inches from her own face. The creatures repeatedly ask whether she can see them, and Miko decides that answering is the worst possible idea. Her survival strategy is brutally simple: never react. She continues talking, eating, and going to school while pretending the horrors around her do not exist, even when fear brings tears to her eyes. Ignoring them becomes harder when the spirits gather around her cheerful best friend Hana and when some apparitions appear capable of affecting the living. Miko wants an ordinary life, but keeping it may require understanding which things should truly be ignored and which ones cannot be left alone.
