Miko’s primary survival tactic is to pretend she cannot see the ghosts, leading to incredibly tense scenes where she must maintain a calm exterior despite being terrified.
Mieruko-chan is a uniquely terrifying yet often comedic horror series centered on Miko Yotsuya, a high school girl who suddenly gains the ability to see horrific, grotesque spirits lurking around her in daily life.
The series blends slice-of-life comedy with genuine horror, often utilizing dark humor to alleviate the overwhelming tension caused by the unnerving, "body horror" style of the creatures.
