I was like "oh shit!" at the end. Here I thought the priestess took the curse upon herself to save her.

As I looked at it, it looked like the Kotone was going to die.

As to why the ritual had failed, what was done probably might work for a simple curse, but this curse is anything but simple, so what was done might or might not have worked, but as we saw it didn't work.

Something like that curse might have needed something like praying for several days, putting up sutras, O-fudas, etc and many other things and maybe the curse would have been removed, we will never know.

Damn, when the curse was lifted, I was just like "please be the end, please be the end." And then I pause and realize that there's still two minutes left. >.< Ahh!

Poor Kotone. On another note, that's a really beautiful name. :)
I had a rough night, hard to fall asleep...couldn't stop thinking of Zanbai.
Now, I'm considering Yamishibai a challenge I have to get through! XD

Here we go~! To the next episode!

A happy ending in YamiShibai? LOL, Never going to happen. Poor girl.

The ritual music was tense and I liked it ♥

Just as I was thinking: "A happy ending? How could they fuck up this one?", that plot twist hit me. That was as tragic as it was good~

that was...incredibly sad.

i think the curse is transmittable by touch now too,so all her friends will get infected :(
also,i think the assistant who called the mother got infected too,which is why they never fully show him.

Not that interesting or scary of an episode. I guess curse was too strong and couldnt be treated even by a priestess who died trying to help

Oh, we heard some soundtrack music. Nice ritual music.

I was expecting the priest on the phone to pass some "curse message" to the girl, so when she left home I was like "what now". Still it was a decent EP.

Can't we have gotten a happy ending on this one at least. I really didn't like that the girl ended being cursed again.

I think the mother was the one who originally gave the daughter the curse. If you think about it, the hand mark was where parents usually grab their children when they're being unruly and disobedient. Then at the end we see the old woman cursed the child for giving her the curse (hence why she had the mark on her neck this time.)
