Who is Mieruko-chan?!
Despite seeming like a cliché, Mieruko-chan is an example of a good story using a familiar theme: seeing ghosts. Mieruko is a simple-minded character who tries with all her might to ignore the “mediumship” that curses her life, but even if she pretends not to see, the ghosts are still there. The manga follows a simple story, but at times scary and even funny.
