Tumblr as a website is pretty dominated by the werewolf and vampire lovers, but my favorite type of horror creature has always been ghosts. I think ghosts are excellent at delivering both horror and sensuality, and everything i feel like a good author is capable of doing in both of those spaces is at peak form in aono-kun

this is a horror romance series following an introverted girl named yuri, who begins going out with aono-kun, the first boy whose ever really been nice to her, only for him to abruptly die two weeks later after being hit by a car. This drives yuri to attempt suicide, only for her to be stopped by aono's ghost.

The two continue their relationship postmortem, but as things progress a sinister and inhuman alter ego begins to take control of aono-kun at times, with neither he nor yuri able to understand why or how to stop it. eventually, aono's still living best friend and a girl from their class who is an agoraphobic horror buff join the young couple in attempting to untangle the nature of aono's haunting.

i am in this moment, sincerely and with no caveats, recommending you a heterosexual romance, which i assume is probably more than enough in its own right to pique the interest of a lot of my followers. but to sweeten the pot with a little more specificity i think the place this manga really shines is in its incredibly compelling portrayal of an adolescent sexuality bogged down by depression and familial abuse.

Apparently the final epilogue chapter of this manga literally came out the day i made this post despite me having no prior knowledge of that. spooky... so if you're the kind of person put off by starting something in progress, worry not!

Early on during the pandemic, various media corporations tried their best to cover up what was happening, and anything mentioning the word "zombie" got shadowbanned, so a mountain of euphenisms came up instead because everyone knows what you're talking about when making a post complaining about how you'd really need to go get groceries but your neighbours have ~*forgotten their manners*~ and are blocking the door.

"He's right!" A voice echoes from the back of the crowd.
