#kuchisake onna
New series on MangaPlus App✨
Kuchi ga Saketemo Kimi Niwa official English translation is now on the app! it’s currently on chapter 6, but in non-official sites, you can find up to chapter 24; and so far is really funny an a nice read.
Summary: Miroku-san, the slit-mouth woman, is to marry high school student Kouichi to maintain her existence as his family has been in charge of upkeeping superstitions for generations. To add, there seems to be another reason that he seems more than willing…
Miroku, however, would rather use her own strength than borrow that of others. Thus, they establish a contract as follows.
1. For a trial period of a year, they are to act as though they were married.
2. If she is able to scare him within that year, the engagement will be broken. (mangaclash)

#JLMyūreioftheday : Kuchisake-onna ✂️
Also known as the “slit-mouthed woman”, kuchisake-onna is an old but famous urban legend, with stories even dating back from the Edo period. It is said that she is a vengeful ghost of a woman who was mutilated by her husband by cutting the sides of her mouth.
When she appears before a victim, she asks “Am I pretty?” If you answer yes, she will cut the sides of your mouth too with the huge pair of scissors she’s holding. If you answer no, she disappears but then follows you home where she kills you.
However, it is said that there are many ways to escape her: confuse her by answering her question with a question, confuse her by quickly saying “you’re so-so”, or confuse her by throwing money or candies at her then say “I’m busy!!” ♀️#japanloverme Art by @littlemisspaintbrush
