Some-Stuffs (2026-01-12)
Hello, Mr. Kishibe!
Mr. Rohan, thanks for meeting with me.
It's such a nice day!
Pretty nice out today, huh?
What are you reading?
Whatcha reading about?
De Staël.
De Staël.
Dostarl?
De Staël?
Is it a new band or something?
That a new band or something?
He was a Russian artist. He died in 1955.
A painter.
Listen, Kaigamori.
He was a painter from Russia who died in 1955.
Of course, it's absolutely unacceptable
Listen, Kaigamori...
for a professional to be late for a business appointment, but…
Arriving late to a meeting is unacceptable for any self-respecting member of society...
it's also not right for an editor to arrive six minutes early
But arriving six minutes early for a meeting with a comics artist?
for an appointment with a manga artist!
Isn't that rather unbecoming of an editor?
I'm sorry. So coming early is wrong too.
S-Sorry about that... So showing up early is rude, too?
You were lucky it was me this time.
Fortunately I'm rather equable.
Now, let's talk about my next 61-page one-shot manga, shall we?
Anyway, let's go over my upcoming sixty-one page one-shot together.
Excuse me, Mr. Kishibe! We are your fans!
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Rohan! We're big fans of yours!
Could we have your autograph? Please write "To Akira"!
Can we have your autograph?
No, no! No autographs, you two!
Make mine out to Otoishi, please!
Mr. Kishibe is busy! He's working!
Knock it off! He's not doing a signing right now!
I've signed them already.
We're in the middle of a meeting! He doesn't have time!
Unlike some, I'm a fast worker.
I already finished them.
I always give my autograph to thank my fans.
Don't presume I'm as slow as other artists.
Wow! How did you do that?! Drip painting using coffee!
Take my autograph with special thanks!
Thanks, buddy. You rock!
Did he just make these awesome drip paintings... with coffee?!
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
Thank you a bunch! We appreciate the hell out of this!
-By the way… -Huh?
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
Before we start discussing work, I need to ask you about something.
By the way, may we discuss my current circumstances before we begin?
Sure.
Sure...
To be honest, it's about money. About my payment. Okay?
To be frank, it's about money. More specifically, regarding my pay. Do you follow?
Could you pay me in advance? I've recently gone bankrupt.
Will you allow me an advance?
I'm not in debt yet, but I have no home.
I just recently declared bankruptcy.
What?!
Huh?
I'm staying with Koichi for now. I don't even have a desk to work on.
I have no outstanding debts, but I'm currently homeless.
My Sailor Moon figures, Led Zeppelin paper-jacket records
Huh?!
and Rurouni Kenshin manga… I've sold the lot.
I'm staying at my friend Koichi's house, and I lack a desk for drawing.
What did you say?
Huh?
You don't have an office? What do you mean, bankrupt?
I had to sell my Sailor Moon figurines, Led Zeppelin record jackets, and Rurouni Kenshin comics.
Haven't you just bought some mountains? In a resort village?
Are you serious?! You have nowhere to work?!
Yeah, so that I can do some research for my comics about a specter
You're broke?
which supposedly lives there.
But weren't you planning to build a villa on the mountain you just bought?
Some developer was trying to build a damn road to the resort village.
Let me explain!
So, I bought six mountains around there to stop the construction.
I was researching the supernatural beings living on the mountain for the comic I was drawing.
See, I needed to buy as much land as possible
Then a development company made plans to build a resort trail right through it.
to stop the construction.
So naturally, I purchased six mountains in the surrounding area to put a stop to them.
Then, the resort road plan was scrapped, so the land price slumped.
I had to buy up as much land as possible, right?
That place is now just wilderness in the middle of nowhere.
In order to foil their plan, obviously.
The mountains I bought are worth nothing…
But now that the resort trail isn't being made, I essentially own worthless land.
which means, I'm penniless.
Those six mountains may as well be piles of dirt.
Can I get paid in advance?
All this to say: I'm broke.
Hang on a minute.
So will you grant me an advance or not?
Did you buy those hills to research your manga?
L-Let me get this straight...
-Yep. -Not for an investment?
You bought those mountains to gather reference material for your comic?
No. What I need is reality in my manga.
Yes.
For your research on some specter legend?
Not as an investment?
Enough!
Precisely. My work requires reality.
If the road was built,
All to gather reference material on supernatural beings?
that specter might be scared off!
Enough questions!
Then my plan will be wrecked!
Consider the consequences had the trail been built! The supernatural beings may have fled!
Hey, hey! Don't give me that look! Did you just look away?
All my efforts would have been for naught!
Why are you looking away?
Hey, hey, hey, hey! What's with the look?
You think I'm off my head, don't you?
Are you intentionally averting your gaze?
Mr. Editor!
Aha! You are!
Look, a manga artist doesn't always have to spend his money on super cars
Do you believe I'm of unsound mind, Mr. Editor?
and gaming rooms in the basement.
Consider this!
Besides, it was there. The research was well worth it.
Buying supercars or building expensive basement game rooms aren't the only ways comics artists spend their money!
Remember, this story is exclusive to your magazine.
Besides, they were actually there.
"It was there"?
I gathered all the material I needed.
What do you mean "it"?
Listen closely. I'm only going to speak of this with your editorial department.
Haven't you been listening to me?
Th-They were there?
I saw it with my own eyes.
What was there?
The specter of Mutsu-kabe Hill is still there.
Have you listened to a single word I've said?
It's still there now.
I witnessed it with my own eyes.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kishibe, but…
The supernatural beings of Mutsukabe Hill.
could you please say that again? What is there?
They're there at this very moment!
There was a girl called Naoko Osato, a university student in her last year.
I'm sorry, Mr. Rohan...
At the end of September, she killed her boyfriend.
Could you please repeat that again?
Naoko Osato…
What was there?
She is the only daughter of a successful family in Mutsu-kabe village,
Osato Naoko was a college student preparing to graduate during the coming spring...
who have been making miso paste for 300 years.
...but at the end of that September, she murdered her boyfriend.
Their property stood at the end of a single-lane road on a mountain.
Osato Naoko.
In other words, they owned the entire mountain.
Her family had found success producing miso in Mutsukabe Hill for the last three hundred years, and she was their sole heir.
Gunpei…
Their mansion was located at the end of a long dirt road.
can you go home now ?
Essentially, that entire mountain was private property of her family.
Put away the video game too.
Hey...
Why?
Can you go now?
Has someone come to the main house?
Huh?
Doesn't matter! Will you just leave now? From the back door.
And put that game away.
Nao? Ah…
What's wrong?
Nowadays you're, like, a bit cold, huh?
Someone coming from the main building?
Surely you're not with another guy?
Just leave, okay? Go out the back door.
If you've already worked it out, that makes things easy.
C'mon, Nao!
At least we've got something nice to remember.
Lately, it's like... you've been acting real cold.
My father will never let us marry. You're just a part-time gardener.
I hate thinking about it, but if there's another guy
As the only daughter, I'll be responsible for the family estate.
You got the hint, so this should be easy.
I don't think so!
Let's leave our good times together in the past.
You're kidding, right? Why can't we just carry on, Nao?
It's not like my dad would ever approve of us.
Let me go.
You're just a part-time gardener.
We don't need to split up.
I'm the only heir to our family fortune.
Let go of me!
I'm not going anywhere!
Shall I show me holding you like this to your new man and your precious daddy?
You gotta be kidding me, right?
What's wrong with how things are, Nao?
Let go of me...
There's no reason to break up.
Let me go!
How about we let the new guy and your dad...
...catch me holding you like this?
I said let go!
I said let go!
You…
Wh
I-- I'm sorry.
What?!
B-but you hit me first.
S-Sorry...
I really love you, Nao.
But... Y-You hit me first...
It's fine this way. Nobody needs to know.
I'm seriously in love with you, Nao.
Go! Go home!
I'm okay with how things are. Nobody needs to find out.
Nao, listen--
Get out! Get out and don't come back!
Go! Take that money and go home!
Nao, hey...
She may get flustered to see you drop in unannounced.
Get out! Take your money and leave!
She'll be desperately trying to do herself up!
She may be in a bit of a tizzy since we're here unannounced.
They're coming. I'm stuck!
I wouldn't be surprised if she's throwing on makeup right now.
Please, take your stuff and go now!
Not good... They're headed this way...
I'll be honest with you.
Please, just take your things and go!
You're awesome.
To be honest with you...
...I think you're amazing.
But he's my fiancé.
But he's my fiancé.
I'm going to marry him next spring, after I graduate.
Our wedding was already arranged for next spring after I graduate.
So this is the end for us. We can't see each other any more!
That's why we're through!
What?
We can't keep doing this!
Gunpei.
Huh?
Hey.
Gunpei?
No.
Hey...
You're messing with me again…
No...
aren't you?
You're teasing me again...
Gunpei…
...aren't you?
stop playing around.
Gunpei...
No pulse.
Quit fooling around!
He's d-dead.
There's no pulse!
Naoko thought she should attend to Gunpei's wound anyway.
H-He's dead!
She pressed a towel she found nearby onto the wound.
Osato Naoko felt she should treat Gunpei's wound, at the very least.
He's playing tricks on me. This can't be true.
She covered it with a nearby towel.
I just shoved him lightly.
This is just another one of Gunpei's pranks...
Why was that golf club there?
Something here definitely doesn't add up!
Why?
I barely even pushed him!
It looks as if…
What were those golf clubs even doing there?
as if I hit him with the golf club!
Why?! It looks like I... like I...
...like I hit him with a golf club!
Gunpei!
Gunpei!
What shall I do?
Wh-What should I do?
A doctor! I've got to call a doctor!
Doctor! I need to call a doctor!
If he is dead, will a doctor be any good?
But can a doctor even help if he's already dead?
Or should I call the police?
Should I call the police?
Naoko, are you there? It's your father.
Naoko, are you in there? It's Dad.
Shuichi has come to see you.
Shuichi's come to visit.
No, I'm not here.
He's eager to see you!
I don't exist anywhere.
I'm gone... I'm not really here right now...
It's locked.
I don't exist anywhere anymore!
Maybe Naoko is not here…
The door's locked.
I may be mistaken, Mr. Osato,
Could Naoko be out right now?
but I think I just saw movement through the window.
I may have imagined it, Father, but I believe I saw the divider behind the window move.
I must hide him!
I... I have to hide him!
S-somewhere!
S-Somewhere!
I must hide Gunpei!
I need to get Gunpei out of here!
Under the sofa for now!
Under the sofa?
What's going on? He's got no pulse, and his heart's not beating.
What's going on?
Why's he still bleeding?
Even though he doesn't have a pulse and his heart stopped beating...
Naoko! Are you there?
Why is this happening?
Are you all right? Is anything wrong?
Naoko, are you in there?
I've got a spare key. Let me open it…
What's the matter? This isn't like you.
I have a spare key. I'll peek inside.
Father!
Father!
I--I didn't hear you!
I-I didn't hear you!
I was tidying up in the kitchen!
I was cleaning the kitchen!
Oh, you are there.
Oh, Naoko, you're there?
Shuichi is here.
Shuichi's come to visit.
Oh, I'm so glad!
O-Oh, that's wonderful!
Please have him wait in the main house!
Wait in the main building, please!
Your voice sounds a bit odd.
You sound troubled.
Are you okay? Do you need help?
Are you okay? Do you need help?
I'm fine! I'm getting dressed.
I'm fine! Just changing right now!
Please, don't open the door. I'll be with you in a minute.
Don't come in! I'll be right with you!
Please!
You'd better...
Please don't open the door!
You'd better not open that door!
No.
Wh-What? What's going on?!
Wh-- what is this?
Do people normally keep bleeding after they die?
Can humans bleed after they are dead?
Naoko?
Naoko!
You've had the water running an awfully long time.
You're using an awful lot of water. What are you up to?
What's going on?
It's me, Shuichi. Are you wondering why I'm still here?
It's Shuichi. Are you wondering why I'm still at the door?
Actually, your father lent me the spare key so that we can be alone.
Actually, your dad gave me the spare key so we could be alone.
No! Don't come in! You mustn't!
No! Don't! Don't you dare come in here!
Naoko.
Naoko...
Actually, I saw someone behind the window a while ago.
To tell you the truth, I saw someone else through the window earlier.
You don't have anyone in there with you, do you?
There isn't actually anyone else in there, is there?
Aren't you alone?
Are you really alone right now?
It looked as though someone else was there with you.
I thought I saw someone else with you.
I'm sorry. So sorry! But this is your fault!
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Not mine!
But this is all your fault!
What…
I didn't do anything wrong!
What's going on, Naoko?
Wh-What's wrong, Naoko?
So there is someone, then.
So someone else is in there!
Gunpei, please!
Please, Gunpei!
Stop it! Please stop it!
Stop!
I'm opening the door and coming in!
Stop bleeding!
You said you saw someone else here.
I'm coming in!
So who was it, Shuichi?
You saw someone else in here with me?
Please, please stop.
Who did you think you saw, Shuichi?
Stop.
Oh...
Gunpei, forgive me.
Please...
Stop.
Stop...
Forgive me.
Stop...
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Gunpei, forgive me!
I was really mistaken.
Stop!
I'll be in the main house with your father.
Please forgive me...
So, as arranged, Naoko Osato married Shuichi the next spring,
Sorry. I was wrong.
and he was welcomed into the Osato family.
Guess my imagination was running wild.
And ever since then…
I'll wait with your dad in the main building.
Gunpei Kamafusa has never stopped bleeding.
As per their arrangement, Osato Naoko's wedding took place that spring...
Every day, he quietly bleeds about 300cc of blood.
...and Shuichi became a son-in-law of the Osato family.
If his body is not moved, he never bleeds more than that.
Yet since that first day...
However, the bleeding is steady and continuous…
...without fail...
even though all signs of life have completely disappeared.
...Kamafusa Gunpei continued to bleed.
Naoko Osato has never been on a trip away from home since her marriage.
Each day he quietly bled about three-hundred cubic centimeters.
Every morning…
So long as his body lay undisturbed...
Naoko takes a glass jar full of Gunpei's blood
...he bled out no more than that.
and discards it secretly.
All in spite of the fact that his life functions had completely ceased.
Every single day, to make sure that the family won't see it.
Osato Naoko never traveled far from home after her wedding.
Naoko, come and eat with us!
Each morning...
I'm coming!
...she covertly disposed of Gunpei's accumulated blood in a glass bottle as part of her daily routine.
Ever since the detached guest house was demolished for conversion,
She carried out this duty every day, carefully ensuring her family never took notice.
there in the attic above the closet in the main house lies Gunpei.
Hey, Naoko! Come eat with us!
I'll be right there!
Eventually, the guest bedroom was torn down for remodeling.
Since then, in the attic above the closet...
...lay Gunpei.
One day, Naoko noticed something.
One day, Naoko noticed something.
When she sprays water over Gunpei's body…
If she sprayed water onto Gunpei's body with a spray bottle...
somehow his skin briefly goes back to the state it was in when he was alive.
...inexplicably, his skin would be temporarily rejuvenated.
He's so cute when he's asleep.
You look so precious while you sleep...
Gunpei, you are mine alone.
...Gunpei.
I'm the only one who can take care of you, forever.
I'm yours alone...
What is this man?
I alone must care for you forever.
He's definitely been dead the whole time.
Just who was he?
I found out about Gunpei Kamafusa
He had no doubt died on that day long ago, and yet...
when I visited this area several times for the research of the specter legend…
When I first came to learn of Kamafusa Gunpei...
which had been rumored since long ago.
...I had already visited the region several times to research the legends of the supernatural beings who dwell there.
So you see, Mr. Kishibe, this is definitely and absolutely…
As I was sayin', no one's gonna give you a better deal than me, Mr. Kishibe.
a profitable deal for you!
You got nothin' to lose!
Enough already!
Enough already.
I won't sell you my mountains, never!
Try convincing me all you like. The mountain isn't for sale.
Come now, Mr. Kishibe, just think.
Come on, you're missing out!
Hello, this is Batsudera.
Huh?!
I found out about this…
Yes, hello! Batsudera speaking.
through a chance meeting with Naoko Osato, and by reading her memory…
As to how I learned of this...
using my ability, Heaven's Door.
I just so happened to cross paths with Osato Naoko...
Thanks to that stroke of luck,
...and read her memories with Heaven's Door.
I learned about the existence of this man.
And with a stroke of good luck, I learned of this man's existence.
Yes.
Yes?
Hello.
Huh? Hello? Damn reception...
Bad signal. Just wait a second, please.
O-One moment, please.
What is he, this Gunpei?
What in the world are you, Gunpei?
I must find out what he is.
I want to see your true form with my own eyes.
I want to know what he's after!
I want to know...
He's in the attic above the closet in that house.
...what your goal is.
You are Rohan Kishibe, aren't you? You draw manga.
In the attic above the closet in the mansion. That's where I'll find him.
What…
You're Kishibe Rohan, aren't you? The comics artist?
I know. You've been snooping around here.
I know you.
You've been snooping around here lately, haven't you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
I've been told not to talk to strangers.
My parents told me not to talk to strangers.
You…
There's been a lot of creeps in the area lately.
There are lots of perverts around nowadays.
Hey! Stop!
Hey, wait!
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
What were you thinking?
What are you doing running off like that--
Why did you suddenly run
Sh-- she's dead.
Sh-She's dead!
Wh-- what's happened?
Wh-What just happened?
Could it be…?
Sh-She couldn't be...
This is ridiculous.
I-Impossible!
This looks as if…
That's absurd!
as if I have done…
Now it looks like...
something to her here!
...I somehow... did something to this girl!
What the…? Is this girl…?
What?
No way! It's impossible!
This girl... Could she really be...?
Is she Gunpei's child?
It can't be!
Naoko Osato, did she…
Is she Gunpei's daughter?
get pregnant by that body in the attic and bear his child?!
Osato Naoko became pregnant and had a child with the corpse in the attic?!
Mr. Kishibe, where are you?
Mr. Kishibe, where did you go?
Where in the world are you, Mr. Kishibe?
Mr. Kishibe!
My God! It's going to possess me!
Where are you?
Damn! She's trying to haunt me!
Heaven's Door!
Heaven's Door!
Damn it! The memories of her life are fading away!
This is bad!
They'll all disappear! If they do, she'll never come back to life again!
The memories of her life written inside her body...!
Before that…
They're fading away!
I don't know Rohan Kishibe. Even if I meet him, I won't be able to see him.
Damn, they're going to disappear!
Mommy!
Once they're gone, she'll never come back to life!
Before that happens...
Note: I know no one named Kishibe Rohan. If we were ever to meet, I would not see him.
Mom!
I'm hungry!
I'm hungry!
That was a close shave.
Th-That was close...
One second too late and she would have possessed me.
Had I been any slower, she would have haunted me.
Or…
It would have meant... my utter ruin...
possibly ruined me!
What a terrifying creature. A moment more, and...
She was really formidable. Such a close call.
Oh! There you are, Mr. Kishibe!
Oh, here you are, Mr. Kishibe! Sorry to leave you like that.
I'm awfully sorry!
It was a call from my office.
My boss just gave me a call.
I'll never, ever sell them to you.
I'm never going to sell it to you.
What on earth?!
Huh?
This is the specter I went looking for.
Huh?!
I'll call it the "Mutsu-kabe Hill Specter."
That's the supernatural being I was researching.
I don't know how long it's been around. Maybe a long time.
I dubbed it the Mutsukabe Hill Phantom.
It's been feeding on human love and the weakness of the human mind.
When did it emerge?
It has humans do everything for it.
Perhaps in the distant past?
It doesn't work, takes no responsibility and suffers no hardship.
It relies on human love and spiritual weakness...
Its only purpose is to reproduce.
...forcing them to attend to their needs...
Perhaps I could call it a creature.
...to ensure it will never bear any manual labor, responsibility, hardships, or other struggles.
The best moment of this creature's life is
A phantom with no purpose other than to proliferate.
when it dies in front of someone.
In truth, it may be more accurately described as a living being.
Maybe more of them exist somewhere on Earth.
The happiest moment of its life...
It seems likely they continue to exist by dying in front of someone.
...is when it dies in another's presence.
Is this a true story? That's unbelievable.
As such, these beings could exist elsewhere in the world.
But it's not a complete lie. You know anything about it?
Thriving by ending their life in the presence of another.
Yes, I remember there were similar creatures in the Orion Nebula.
Did all that really happen?
Hey, you can't just barge into our meeting like--
Seems a bit far-fetched.
I've always wanted to ask, are you really an alien?
Ya can't be totally sure it ain't true, though...
Yes! I came from the Magellanic Clouds to live here.
You ever heard of this?
But my spaceship is still waiting, 1.5 million kilometers up…
Yes. I believe there to be a comparable organism in the Orion constellation.
This alien guy is such a bore.
H-Hey, listen to me! You guys can't just sit he
How many Mutsu-kabe Hill Specters are there? I'm not interested in that.
By the way, I've been pondering this for some time, but are you really a space alien?
Naoko Osato looks happy enough, and I've found out the specter's purpose.
Yes. I departed the Magellanic Clouds to inhabit Earth.
I'm no scholar or journalist.
Fuckin' annoying space alien...
I'm just a manga artist.
My spaceship is currently on standby 1,500,000 kilometers above Earth. Aboard it...
Mommy!
How many other Mutsukabe Hill Phantoms are out in the world?
Will I marry a handsome man one day?
I suppose it doesn't matter.
Of course you will.
Osato Naoko seems to be happy in her own way...
...and I worked out their goal.
Besides, I'm neither a journalist nor a scholar.
I'm just a comics artist.
Mom...
Do you think I'll marry someone wonderful someday?
I'm sure you will.
