Synopsis
Miko Yotsuya can see horrifying ghosts hovering right in her face, whether she's walking down the street, sitting in class, or just trying to mind her own business, and her survival strategy is to simply pretend they don't exist. That's the entire premise of Mieruko-chan, and it's way more compelling than it has any right to be. Miko's an ordinary high school girl whose life gets turned upside down when she suddenly starts seeing grotesque spirits that nobody else can perceive. These things are genuinely unsettling too, with creative and disturbing designs that lean hard into body horror. But here's the trick: instead of screaming or fighting back, Miko just... ignores them. She stares at her phone, keeps walking, maintains a poker face while something nightmarish breathes down her neck. The comedy comes from the sheer absurdity of her composure, while the horror stays surprisingly effective. Her best friend Hana is blissfully unaware of any of this, which creates these great moments of tonal whiplash where one girl is chatting about lunch and the other is internally screaming. It's 12 episodes from Studio Passione, adapted from a web manga, and it nails the balance between creepy and funny without undercutting either. If you liked the dark humor of Ghost Stories or the "pretend everything's fine" energy from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., this sits in a weird sweet spot between those two. The ghost designs alone are worth checking it out for.

Such a simple concept but i so want more seasons. Wanna see what happens
Season finale wraps up key moments while keeping some mysteries open. A satisfying mix of horror, humor, and subtle emotional payoff.
The ghost designs are creepy as hell, but Miko’s reactions make everything hilarious. Not super scary, not too heavy , just a fun, easy watch
Aaa, I knew those foxes from the shrine were really part of the bigger twist in the story. Seeing them furious...one can only imagine just what kind of offering they're expecting from Miko.
This gave me chills. The backstory was really sad, and the spirit was creepy. More than that, Miko finally exhausts her final 'chance' to get help from those foxes from the shrine. That didn't sit well with me, and I'm even more curious now.
I really admire Miko's resolve to keep Hana safe, even if it meant trying to face head-on the things that scare her. It's wholesome, it's also borderline comical, but the tension heightens just as she realizes something important about the "help" she got from what she assumed to be 'allies'.
This was lighter than usual, so it was a good break from all the constant, scary spirits at every turn. More screentime for their budding friendship too! The teacher ticks me off, though. Just a little, lol.
Really love the balance between the scary encounters and the funny jabs on the side, as well as the wholesomeness seeping in between. Makes me less scared watching it at such an unholy hour lol.
This one was such a disaster...in a good way! Although the things led to it kinda stressed me out, ending it on a wholesome note was really worth it.
I feel like the latter half of this episode is a prelude to a nastier and scarier plot twist in the future. For now, they seem to be an "ally", but I feel there would be a higher price for such when Miko exhausts all the chances she was given. Aa this gives me the chills.
Nice, wholesome conclusion to Mr. Zen's storyline. 😊 The series ending doesn't seem clear to me — what does the god spirit want from Miko? 🤔 Overall - a warm and calm ending. 8/10 ⭐️✨
This one lowkey annoyed me. I get that Yuria wanted to make a point, but girl, tone it down. I like her, but she was just a little too pushy here. I'm surprised Miko hasn't crashed out yet ahaha.
I knew something was off with her family, I didn't quite expect that little twist, though. It's kind of bittersweet. That said, the spirits are getting too interactive, I feel sorry for her lmao.
Nice series! A student suddenly starts seeing ghosts 👻. Show how she manages to live with it in her daily school life 🏫. Some episodes feel like the same things are happening, but the series was fun to watch 🎉. It also includes a few fan service moments 😉. Overall — great job! Great animation and writing ✨. 9/10 ⭐️
Bro, that was a very emotional and dark episode. 😢🖤 What a turn, I feel guilty for judging him. 🤔💭 And in the end, Miko made a satisfying decision. 👍✨ Overall — great job, don't skip! 10/10 ⭐️🎉
Miko releases what the god spirit says at the shrine. The teacher is truly an evil guy. 😈🌀 Hinting that the Miko's protector spirit will face off against the teacher. 👹⚔️ Overall — excitement is building up! 🔥🎉 10/10
Miko trying to avoid her new teacher. 😅Miko, Hana, and Yulia went to the house of horror. 👻🏚️ I feel a little sad for Yulia; she was alone most of the time. It's nice she met those two. 😊 Overall — fun to watch, 8/10! 🎥⭐️
This episode was the most violent and emotional of all the previous ones. 😱💔 The tense build-up as the person from the past comes back. 😲🔥 Overall - excited for the next episode! ⭐️🎬 10/10
Yulia convinces Hana and Miko to go with her. 😊 Yulia misunderstood Miko's moves, and this scene was very funny. 😂 Overall — Wholesome, friend bond! ✨ 9/10
Why do I feel like there’s another twist? Now I really know the real face of Zen! Even so, I like the ending. I hope there’s another season because I believe there are so many mysteries and twists left to be unlocked!
