Synopsis:

Miko is a typical high school student whose life starts to turn upside down when she suddenly starts seeing terrifying monsters. Despite being very frightened, Miko goes about her daily life, pretending not to notice the horror that surrounds her. He had to endure fear to keep himself and his friend Hana out of harm's way, even if it meant coming face to face with the worst. Mixing comedy and horror, Mieruko-chan tells the story of a girl who tries to confront a psychic by acting indifferent to her.

Izumi launched the Mieruko-chan manga on Kadokawa's ComicWalker website in November 2018, and Kadokawa will publish the manga's fifth volume on March 22. Yen Press released the manga's second volume on February 23. Regarding the author, he previously only published the Gemini manga.
