It seemed like such a sweet and innocent manga, but not even Nanige is immune to the harsh pressures of the industry and is forced to do a panty shot. Ban this sick filth, I say!

Hey, cool, another person with a strange ability!

Hmm. I wonder... if psychometric powers while touching another human is like a live-stream, what happens if the person he's touching looks at him while he's touching them, and he looks back at them?

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

I like how he's initially dismissive, thinking that the guy has no idea what kind of burden these powers can be just on a mundane basis, up until we get the reveal that ghost-dude basically just sees crazy poo poo all the time.

I just decided to pick up reading this, and what timing! Pretty drat funny all around, I'm just a little sad they're pushing his weaknesses. I kind of liked the early impressions of it being "kid with godlike powers is bored" more, but it still manages to pull it off pretty well.

Also it's intentional that his name spoken aloud sounds like "psychic", right? Saikiku(suo).

Better yet, what if two people with psychometry touch each other at the same time?

Does anyone know if Kusuo is an unusual Japanese name? I don't think I've heard it before and it sounds a little odd.

It seems to be a legitimate name. Also the kanji for -o is 雄, which can mean masculine;  male;  hero;  leader;  superiority;  excellence. So of course it's probably a pun of psychic hero.

Something that regulars of the Surreal Manga thread might enjoy, I believe. Each chapter translated so far (up to 5 at the moment) is a stand-alone that deals with a high school girl visited by a bizarre phenomenon.

It's a little strange, but also a little romantic. A nice, light, snack-like manga!

MORT cancels dance: interrupted by MORT
It came up in the Summer anime thread, but Gakkou Gurashi is getting an anime and I think the manga belongs here.

The central figures are the girls from the "School Life Club", whose purpose... well, I'll let them explain it.



Living entirely at school introduces some surprising wrinkles into their daily lives!

Edited to be more informative.

Edit again: I see it was posted before :v: Well, it updated today so there's that.

I posted this in the Misc Shounen thread already, but it definitely fits the thread's theme of "the Surreal intruding on daily life", moreso than some manga that have been posted earlier (even though they're all good!).

It's Lilienthal -- a manga about a talking, yellow, magical dog with some strange, reality-warping powers. It's the kind of good, clean all-ages fun that many manga sometimes lack. Lilienthal apparently has the power to manifest into reality peoples' innermost feelings and thoughts, with surprising (and amusing) consequences!

I'm enjoying the flights of fancy and imagination, they remind me of the kinds of imaginary worlds I'd get lost in when I was a kid. Also, I really like the sister, she seems really sensible!

EDIT:

The ending of the previous chapter just about killed me. The deadpan policewoman is easily my favorite.

But really, her reinforcements made sense. All of the magical girls were awful, awful people. It's not like any of them would show up to help her, or anyone really.

A girl dies from a car accident and she as a ghost goes through the aftermath of her death.

It's a pretty touching story while being short and I really liked it.
