you will hear the voice of the dead it a master take on a horror slice of life. You follow the protagonist living his life as someone who can see dead people powered with disgustingly amazing artwork and funny impulse here and there.

the good thing about this manga is it doesn't take it too seriously and gave an episodically kinda plot though it stems arc to arc. I really like the 3 main cast with each other personality actually complement eachother as they go to some scooby doo kinda plot.

the bad thing about the manga is the author lost her charm a few ... times in the middle. The author makes this manga out of the fly with the mindset it will be 1 book maximum, it goes in to 79 chapter, a lot of story goes from horror to just scifi a few times.

side note is the author is really funny, her author note are actually worth reading as she jokes along. i maybe bias on this review since the comedy aspect of the manga/author style of comedy actually my cup of tea

overall a good casual read

Shibito no koe wo kiku ga yoi is a horror of the day/week manga, but unlike most past events are referenced throughout and there are reoccurring side characters some being likeable and some being total scum like the protagonists best friend and the president of the occult club.
Death in this manga seems to be a regular occurrence with a ridiculous amount of people dying from random serial killers, aliens, curses etc.


While it can be enjoyable this manga is for the most part braindead horror that sometimes feels forced and often horrific events having no lasting effects on characters with them carrying on with their everyday ... life, they also seem to forget the fact that people like the president have caused the deaths of fellow classmates on multiple occasions and has tried to sacrifice the protagonist/others repeatedly.

Story: 6/10
It focuses more on individual stories than an overarching plot, though it does have continuity in some ways.

Characters: 5
It's Kind of 50/50 with characters either being trash or likable, with likable characters being given less attention than the trash.

Art: 7/10
While influenced by Junji Ito the art has it's own unique look and is particularly good with the expressions.

Enjoyment: 6/10
It is a somewhat enjoyable read, if you ignore the fact that characters don't learn from mistakes and there is no retribution for characters like the president.

Overall Score: 6/10

Junji Ito : BOOTLEG Edition

A poor man's bland rip-off which contains a heavy filler graffiti EDGY tone. Less gore filled with drastic horror flick. Distasteful scenarios were induce set of crappy panels and teen occultic vibes for people with crippling depression.

In a nonsense way

The series would also consider more than a daily sitcom came from
a b-rated low budget shitty movie where pile of corpse where subsided into bloodlust massacre. There's a bit potential, but along it's premises that lack also it's own current factor. Leaning only the story for such a horrible paced. Despite the background as usual, some of the dialogues which narrated where ... a bit shallow and can't easily to predict what will happen next. Psychedelic approach are far too satirical, and well not executed. Altering the same concept is quite hostile due to the overall between disposable trashy characters being left on mark without insignificant minor setbacks before the series got introduced. Trying hard to get it's own appeal are pretentiously not enough for you to get satisfied through your own unraveling corrupted hysterical mind. Mindblowing gruesome deaths? seems kinda effy.
