Love your videos, soothing narrative and background/insight into the culture around the subject matter! Thank you so much :) I just wanted to feed back that I really find it very upsetting seeing depictions of animal harm/cruelty (and it can affect me mentally afterwards), so thought I might suggest that maybe you give a heads up for videos that include this, especially when it's a jumpscare? I know you have the general warning at the start, but maybe it would be good to add a little trigger warning section in your description that lists the specifics - that way it wouldn't spoil things related to the story for people watching the video, but allow people like me to check what the 'dark' subject matter is before watching :) I think there's a lot of cases where some mature content is totally fine for people, but for whatever reason, there may be a particular topic that is very distressing for them and it's nice to be able to either avoid it or mentally prepare first. :) I hope that's OK to say. Like I mentioned, I really appreciate your work and don't want to appear ungrateful. Hope you, Mrs and Baby Owl are all doing well
I debated that and usually I do, but it's a balancing act because the impact of what happened would have been lessened had it been telegraphed. That said - I decided against it because all you see is a carcass. You never see any sort of abuse or anything along those lines. It's also a situation where no trigger warning is going to be detailed enough or sufficient for everyone, meaning that even if I were to basically spoil the plot wholecloth it might not work. Tough one. I may add a warning for the finished video.
@@frightranker I completely understand. With regards to it being a carcass, for me personally, the implication of the violence that preceded it can still be quite powerful, but I totally get that won't be the case for everyone :) The balancing act is why I would suggest tucking it at the bottom of your description as a little section, so it's harder for people to stumble on if they aren't looking for it. I reckon you can also keep it vague. I know for me personally, just knowing it's something flagged up is enough to be able to prepare and decide to go ahead or not. Often the shock is the worst part. So even something like 'animal death' which could happen in any number of ways would still help. EDIT TO ADD: Could even be a pinned comment, so it has to be expanded to read :) It's definitely a tough one and I respect your decision either way - it's your channel, after all! ☺ I only fed back because I hoped it would be useful for you as your channel gets more popular, to take, adapt or disregard as required. I hope my rambling makes sense! Thank you so much for replying, as well. In terms of the plot - I keep wondering if she's a reality-warper, making everything happen unconsciously as she tells it or something like that ;)
The story leading up to that point provided all the context clues we needed. We were either going to confirm she lied or find a dead dog. The dog being present was the best way to subvert our expectations, so there was always a chance of seeing something graphic and possibly uncomfortable.
This is a masterpiece. It had the decency to be two volumes long, well written, and not have a stupid ending. Thanks for making this a two part video as I think this story deserves it.
One really interesting thing that I found while reading this manga is that the Portuguese word for both "bullet" and "candy" is the same ("bala"), which makes it sometimes not clear what exactly Nagisa is talking about (at least in the translation I read), and overall just makes her dialogues a bit more cryptic.
The Brothers Riddle: It reminds me of maybe another version. Riddle: A woman is at her mother's funeral when suddenly she sees a man so handsome and mysterious, she instantly falls in love with him. Unfortunately, she never got a chance to talk to the man. The next day, the woman kills her sister. What was the motive? Answer: A psychopath would know. The answer is that the women killed her sister because she hoped the mystery and handsome guy would also show up to her sister's funeral and she would be able to see him again. Thanks for your work I really enjoy it❤
I really like stories that involve or potentially involve "unreliable narrators" where now we get this uncertainty that something is wrong with the main characters and with the reveal of the dead dog it just screams mystery. The dialogue feels real and casual which makes this story so far extremely interesting, take your time on the next video, the jumpscare really got me edit: also just by the first volume how come the story and dialogue is already better then recent MCU movies and shows it's like the writers just don't know how to make interesting characters while here we got insane suspense moments and tackle dark subjects
yeah, that story about someone meeting the love of their life at a funeral, and then going home and offing someone eles, thereby causing another funeral to happen so they can meet the love insterest again is an old story that sometimes comes up in logic-testing riddles, alongside stuff like that old poem "brothers and sisters I have none, but this man's father is my father's son." the funeral one doesn't exactly stack, though. just because the guy knew her husband doesn't mean he'd necessarily go to another random family member's funeral as well.
Ok so I just binged the entire series and I have to say: Thank you for introducing me to another such wonderful manga that I would have never otherwise picked up on my own. Really enjoyed the tension of the story and the almost slice-of-life rural Japan backdrop. While there are parts of the writing that really irritate me I have to admit that the dialogue and behaviors are VERY much teenage girls finding their way in the world written with genuine insight into the small dramas (that might not be so small!) dramas that unfold at that liminal time. The foreshadowing is chefs kiss perfect and so much of my read I always had plenty of thoughtmeat to chew about who killed the dog and if any supernatural existed in the series. As always, your analysis was the perfect spice to liberally apply as my brainteeth worked. I have one question now and probably a ton once you finish vol2 as I don't want to spoil: You mentioned the name of the one-hit wonder's song was 'loosely translated' as 'mermaid's bone'. Is there any way you can give a breakdown of it? I know Japanese is a very symbolic and contextual language and while I'm long past the plasticity period of learning new languages, I truly love to learn about the nifty differences between them. Thank you again for your quality work, good health and prosperity to the entire Owl Parliament and look forward so very much to part2 P.S. Personally I think the 'violently lesbian comedic character's are gender bent self inserts for the creators, allowing for actions that while still considered inappropriate are dealt with more forgivingly as the perpetrator is female. I may be wrong on this but it fills to many gaps to be easily discounted. In the case of some female pervy mangaka we see this without the gender bend.
'Ningyo no hone' if I recall, so literally 'bones of the mermaid'. But there might be a pun or something with the kanji characters that I don't have access to. And yeah, I really liked this one a whole lot. Man, March and April are going to be wild. After the next MIA video, I'm doing part 1 of another deep dive, with part 1 of yet another coming out maybe at the end of March. And these, especially #2, get super cultural.
It's interesting how context can make something terrifying. In another setting, say a zombie apocalypse, seeing the corpse of a dog on a mountain would barley be worth noticing. But in this grounded almost slice of life type setting it is horrifying.
Checking every other day to see if Part 2 is out :') absolutely LOVED your video! You're a master at setting the mood and I really hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves!
Now I see somebody commented on it already 😂 this version of the brother would make also more sense. Not only would the women cause the encounter in which she would meet the man again (maybe), being her son’s funeral, but also make room for “hopefully” her “new man” and/or to start over (which was were my mind went straight away for an answer). That’s twisted 😏 But it makes the riddle a little more easier to rationalize and guess the answer. Sorry still hung up on this 😂 thanks again for your amazing and interesting deep dives and analysis❤
I just finished reading this, I watched this video first and was so intrigued I had to read the rest lol, my God was this an incredible story, absolutely beautifully heartbreaking, thank you for bringing this to my attention, I've read many stories with similar themes, but none were so well written as to truly move me to tears, none made me as viscerally uncomfortable as a scene you've yet to reach in this first part, I don't know why I'm usually so unaffected by dark or sad content, I always assumed I was just desensitized but then I experience gems like this and genuinely don't know, thank you again Owl, your videos are always an amazing addition to my day.
Would LOVE to see you one day eventually cover the summer Hikaru died. The lore and shit the artist is creating is something special IMO. Loooooove these videos man thanks for all the hard work you put into them
Amazing, keep it up! Dude you need to stop apologizing for explaining things, even if some ppl might not like it. If you hadnt explained, i as a westerner would have missed a lot of nuance. So again thank you!
it's a little funny listening to the machete bit as a Canadian, because very similarly that's all gardening equipment that you can get at like... 90% of hardware stores no problemo. Pokemon warned us about that tall grass, man.
I impulsively decided to stop the video before the reveal with the dog and read from there myself, and oh boy. It’s a great story, but it reallly got to me. How dare you make me experience this. I was constantly going back and forth in my mind on whether this would be fantasy or pure realism. I desperately wanted the mermaid stuff to be true, but as I started putting things together (roughly at the same speed as Nagisa) It was becoming easier and easier to explain away her lies with something more realistic. And the realistic answers were starting to really unsettle me. The foreshadowing and repetition used in this is so well done in a way that I didn’t even notice until attention was brought to it later. And I was doing fine until they showed the water bottle in the final chapter. Instant tears
I know this isn’t your most recent video and you probably won’t see this but I love your content and I hope your channel gets much more popular in the coming future
I literally just finished this video then went and binged the entire thing in one sitting. Thank you so much for introducing me to another fantastic series. Can't wait for the next video 😊
BTW might be far too late to the party but the psychopath question was the plot mcguffin of an episode of 30 Rock - and Jenna does indeed answer correctly.
I'm back after reading the whole manga and... Wow, I now know why you said it's not a "fun dark" type of manga, this is was an unbelievable and depressing story, by the time I got to the last 3 chapters something in my chest didn't sit right and then I saw why... I adore this manga, thank you for talking about it so I could experience it Edit: I KNOW THERE'S A WARNING AT THE START BUT 50:58 WAS UNNEEDED, MY HEART
i decided to read this manga when this popped up because i know your recommendationas are always good, but i was not expecting something that reminded me a lot of higurashi. keep up the good work and have a good day
An interesting parallel between the two characters is that Nagisa wants bullets in a relatively acceptable reality and mikuzo wants candy in what appears to be an unacceptable reality. I don’t generally like psychological themes because I find them to be romanticized and lacking actual plot or motif. This story is a good blend of the theme and plot, so that it has an impact on the reader but keeps them invested as well.
Finally a recent review on my favorite manga I love rereading this series again whenever I get the chance to honestly thanks for making this video you might like reading Variante Requiem of the world, Alive the final evolution and Kasane is always a must read
In the middle of watching this and I gotta say what a funny coincidence bc I’ve also read this manga 3 times lol. It’s actually one of 3 pieces of media I’ve ever cried at and I’ve cried every time I read it at the end lol
Omg sorry for making a million comments but I’m glad someone else feels like the relationship between the two main characters is queercoded . Like idk it just felt that way to me
I thought for too long about the riddle thing and I realized the answer. And I'm not exactly happy about that now remembering what it's used for. But maybe it's more meant to be an immediate response thing to see if your mind immediately makes that connection. I hope so anyway lol
Brilliantly made manga. I just finished it, and sadly I don't wish to watch this deep dive of it retroactively, atleast right now. I'm contemplating and thinking about the series a lot rn and I pretty much have understood all aspects of it that were meant to be understood. And I feel sad now so I don't vibe with watching an analysis of the series so soon, I hope you understand 😅. Will definitely come back when I'm in a much more casual mood to binge this for the algorithm so don't worry king 🗣🔥. I funnily enough predicted both the solutions of the riddle and the entire mystery of this series by the end of the first volume. Its not a flex, I just have too much free time to think about stuff 😂. Anyone can do it if they get the chance to try properly.
I live in the sticks in NJ and families moving from NYC(I'm only 45 min away) to around here is extremely common. You almost never see the opposite actually unless it's like a very young adult looking to branch out. Cultural differences are so interesting to me.
Found it cool to see that the candy images shown in the first few pages of the manga are of konpeito, a (basically it's colored-sugar) confection with Portuguese influences (confection in Portuguese is "confeito", from which the Japanese "konpeito" comes from): the Portuguese were the first Europeans to establish contact with Japan and there's lots of random Portuguese influences in Japan, like konpeito (the word and the stuff itself), the Castella/kastera cake, and pan (at least the word, which comes from Portuguese "pão").
The Bradley coach manga was the online movie/manga/ anything to genuinely made me regret looking for dark/despair/edgy manga. it killed a part of me, especially knowing that it really happens. not exactly the same but in war torn and extremely poor countries.
GOD DAMN YOU THAT JUMPSCARE SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME (complimentary) now I gotta figure out how the FUCK I'm supposed to go to sleep after that so thanks for that but also holy fuckin hell you earned a jumpscare that good. Most jumpscares are done for purely shock value and to frighten the viewer for a mere second, but you set up the tension so well that I'm gonna be thinking about it for a while I feel. (Also partially cause I was in the middle of standing up and nearly fell over when it happened)
I decided to read it because of the recommendation of this channel. I thought it was an interesting to read but I can't say I thought it was great, and I would probably give it like a 7 out of 10 I think. It felt overly edgy for the sake of being edgy for a lot of it, that and things were easy to guess but maybe that was the translations fault.
Ooo i love this video and that riddle though ware i come from she kills her sister but i can see why some places change it. It makes it more sad and confusing.
Bruh, the whole reason I watch these summary videos is so I don't *have* to read the actual book/watch the movie/spend the money, so no, I'm not turning the video off. 😆
I know this comment comes late, but I can't help but think the story the brother tells is something close to LIronna (if I spelt it correctly). The answer might be exactly the same as this story. But I could be wrong, it just came out of my mind.
god damn it, i found a version of it. It's been awhile since i've dived in blind. land of the lustrous was the last one. Guess i'll be back. What am i getting myself into?
God damn. Literally just finished Ch13 I don’t even know what to say. It’s been years since I’ve been hit like that, like I anticipated it but.. It was just dreadful the whole time building up. the dog scene sucked and by then I had put it together. I’m upset Thank you feels inappropriate to say but it was an interesting read. Being brought along as a bystander to a bystander. Its uncomfortable. I’ll be back again once I’ve digested this.
I wonder if seafood sections smell stronger in Japanese supermarkets than anywhere else? And if so, why would that be? I find it quite ironic considering that Japanese are typically sensitive to smell.
It depends on the smell. Fish? Year old cigarette smoke in your suit jacket? BO or halitosis? Acceptable. Strong cologne? 'Foreign' smelling food in the staff room? A problem.
Really bro? That dog jump scare was weak sauce, not even scary... I'm not crying! You're crying! I'm only leaving the hallway light on tonight cause it was so lame I went blind from boredom. 🫣
Love your videos, soothing narrative and background/insight into the culture around the subject matter! Thank you so much :)

GOD DAMN YOU THAT JUMPSCARE SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME (complimentary) now I gotta figure out how the FUCK I'm supposed to go to sleep after that so thanks for that but also holy fuckin hell you earned a jumpscare that good. Most jumpscares are done for purely shock value and to frighten the viewer for a mere second, but you set up the tension so well that I'm gonna be thinking about it for a while I feel. (Also partially cause I was in the middle of standing up and nearly fell over when it happened)
Slow and atmospheric, ironically they hold my attention better.
I decided to read it because of the recommendation of this channel. I thought it was an interesting to read but I can't say I thought it was great, and I would probably give it like a 7 out of 10 I think. It felt overly edgy for the sake of being edgy for a lot of it, that and things were easy to guess but maybe that was the translations fault.
I have definitely heard that evaluation test, though some of the detains were different. I unfortunately answered it correctly. Lol.
Oh oh I'm a psychopath lol 😆
thank you for the jumpscare.
I was watching this in the dark and the dog part made me put on the lights real quick
metalocalypse mentioned is not something i was expecting :')
Ooo i love this video and that riddle though ware i come from she kills her sister but i can see why some places change it. It makes it more sad and confusing.
>higurashi deep dive at 10k
>checks sub counts
Wow! That's right around the corner practically
Bruh, the whole reason I watch these summary videos is so I don't *have* to read the actual book/watch the movie/spend the money, so no, I'm not turning the video off. 😆
swede here, and you would be thrown out if you walked around with dirty shoes in the house...
Good video as always
I know this comment comes late, but I can't help but think the story the brother tells is something close to LIronna (if I spelt it correctly).
The answer might be exactly the same as this story. But I could be wrong, it just came out of my mind.
Yeah this manga was spicy and had it's twist and turns
I finished it, short but sad and kinda scary
i finish reading the manga before watching the video thank you for the recommendation Love sure is depressing :(
I say the brother explanation plus mukuzu mention of secret doors 🚪. also did the dad you know the dog and mukuzu place the note?
Wait so is this mermaids 🧜♀️ when they cry?
For another dark manga, there's "A Lesson in Evil"
She did it
Idk what it is she did but I just know she did it
god damn it, i found a version of it. It's been awhile since i've dived in blind. land of the lustrous was the last one. Guess i'll be back. What am i getting myself into?
God damn. Literally just finished Ch13 I don’t even know what to say. It’s been years since I’ve been hit like that, like I anticipated it but..
It was just dreadful the whole time building up. the dog scene sucked and by then I had put it together.
I’m upset
Thank you feels inappropriate to say but it was an interesting read. Being brought along as a bystander to a bystander. Its uncomfortable. I’ll be back again once I’ve digested this.
😲 I need Part 2!!!
Next Friday.
@@frightranker 🍿🤏👁👄👁 I'll be there
I wonder if seafood sections smell stronger in Japanese supermarkets than anywhere else? And if so, why would that be? I find it quite ironic considering that Japanese are typically sensitive to smell.
It depends on the smell. Fish? Year old cigarette smoke in your suit jacket? BO or halitosis? Acceptable. Strong cologne? 'Foreign' smelling food in the staff room? A problem.
@@frightranker make it make sense 🙄 Only in Japan
So Oedipus complex but for girls 👧...wonder...no it was probably another play
This is a shoujo-ai, not a yuri. Why do people not understand the difference?
Colloquially, in modern times? The difference is academic and in Japan the two are often used interchangeably.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really bro? That dog jump scare was weak sauce, not even scary... I'm not crying! You're crying! I'm only leaving the hallway light on tonight cause it was so lame I went blind from boredom. 🫣
