Clearly, Zarei-chan is not a watcher of anime. Or at least not that kind of anime :sparkles:

That would have been terrible because each book was written to be experienced as a book, if it were released as a series of pages or chapters it'd have been written differently.

Paranatural works because it has a zillion gags on every page, which keeps it entertaining page-to-page. That hasn't stopped the chapter's plot from dragging on pretty badly.

6 panels of DragonballZ every 4 weeks, then.

They didn't come with Day, they were already here hanging out with Zarei: http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-4-page-70

Possibly on "guard duty" judging from the next phase. And now since the blonde one killed the Ghost train, they're both stuck here with everyone else.

Hey guys! So I found out about this webtoon on Tuesday I think? I just finished reading through the archives (and this whole thread, O_o).
Anyways what I have to say is that Paranatural is a Good Comic and some parts do go too slow but I guess that's webcomics?

there is no story slowly unfolding here, somebody is going to say something somewhat ominous after 3 more pages and then we're going to cut to Doorman

You say this now but in 3 years when we're about ready to wrap up their lunch orders you'll join the regular chorus, mark my words.

But the comic is good and funny that is unquestionable.

If poor pacing were enough to turn me off I would have stopped reading months ago, it's almost as if I'm being critical of something I still enjoy

Oh yeah I'm sure. I mean when I followed OoTS a while back I found it's pacing frustrating, and from what I remember it moves quite a bit faster than Paranatural.
But I think this is significantly better, story-wise that OoTS, so :shrug:

From the last panel, I think I just realized that the rose thing is her walking cane. Is she blind? Its been a while.

Also, these two are adorable. This comic is great.

It seems like she is blind but can tap her spirit for a description of her surroundings.

Day is pretty much the perfect person to send against goobers like Spender and Zarei.

I mean, they're great characters. But they're, y'know... goobers.

Turns out they went out for a burger. Nobody put two and two together.

Yeah. They forgot if Ed wanted mustard or pickles on his burg and have been there ever since, paralyzed by indecision. The guy at the register keeps saying that he'll just leave both on the side so they can fix it the right way at home, but they aren't having any of that.

13 years ago was when Lucifer rescued Spender from a lake. And when someone (the shadow, probably) tried to seize the power hidden in Mayview.

Also, what's this about Corrupted Humans, I wonder. Mediums that have lost control?

Zarei seems pretty tense in that last panel. Wonder why? The fact Spender's under investigation, maybe?
