【Anime Overview】
TV anime MIERUKO-CHAN
【Introduction】
If you saw something you shouldn’t be able to see,
If you saw something you shouldn’t look at,
What would you do……?
What would you do if that thing talked to you,
If it came right up to you…
What would you do……?
Would you take one look and run away?
Would you learn strange techniques, or get the help of a medium and fight them?
Well, as for the action taken by high school girl Miko Yotsuya…
Completely ignore them!
I didn’t see anything, and I’m not noticing anything!
This is the story of a high school girl avoiding strange, grotesque “freaks” by making full use of an iron will to skilfully ignore what’s right in front of her…
Just because you can’t see them,
They’re right next to you, you see…?
