Y'know I love a good horror manga but it really highlights the problem with listing everything somewhat supernatural and gothic into Horror. I literally was just browsing horror manga and it was suggesting JoJos Bizarre Adventure, Death Note, and Higurashi right next to each other. These are monumentally different series and genres. And a lot of the time picking multiple genres doesn't help bc unless you're looking for a specific formula or subset, a lot of manga places just list the majority under solely horror!

#and don't even get me started on finding translations of horror manga #either you really like junji ito or youre reading scanlations #which is sometimes fine and sometimes like Pumpkin Night in that the translator decides theyre really fucking funny #and so instead of an actual translation you get goddamn meme jokes #i literally just gave up on reading Pumpkin Night bc the character kept quoting memes and saying things like 'thot'#it was such a bad translation!!!#it felt like the translation equivalent of when youtube captions have someones commentary on the video thrown in #unnecessary and annoying
