#ushirogami

The Ushirogami is a type of okubyōgami; a spirit that causes cowardice, or targets cowardly people. It's a ghost with long black hair, one large eye, and no legs. Rather they have a long twisting body, which allows it to jump into the air. The Ushirogami hides along dark paths and waits for people to pass by. They will then sneak up behind that person and pull pranks. Their favorite pranks are to poke the person in the back, pull out the person's hair ties so that it falls out and tangle it, touch them with their cold hands, blow hot air on them or make wind gusts in order to blow the umbrella that the person is carrying away. However, when the person turns around to check, the Ushirogami will disappear from sight. The Ushirogami's favorite victims are young cowardly women.

Ushirogami annoys the heck out of dodomeki! 

Felt really inspired to draw these two after the latest episode.

Near the end it was easy to tell things were starting to grate on Nezumi Otoko, who was no doubt projecting onto the situation twofold by putting himself in the shoes of both a heartbroken Ushirogami and the scumbag Mitamura. He’s precisely aware of how hurt the woman must be after being conned by someone she loved, and even more aware that the conman in question will lose no sleep over it.
