i will talk about this one-shot ,

so there will be heavy spoilers below ,

you should read the one-shot 1st , before reading this comment .

SPOILERS BELOW :

.........

raw japanese version :
https://comic-action.com/episode/3269754496613224591

page 1 : about the photo , note that someone tore it , then someone duct-taped it together .

page 4 : the mother is crazy , so maybe there is actually no phone call at all .

i guess the returned son is a combination of a ghost and/or the hallucination of the mother and/or her craziness and/or her guilt .

page 15 :
- the son : yo mother , you strangled me , so now i will strangle you .

then a parody of mike tyson who bit an ear ?

page 20 and 21 : the son is reading some parts of this story :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kachi-kachi_Yama

" ... When the man came home, the tanuki served him the soup.
After the meal, the tanuki reverted to its original appearance and revealed its treachery before running off and leaving the poor man in shock and grief ... "


" ... While the tanuki was carrying a heavy load of kindling on his back to make a campfire for the night, he was so burdened that he did not immediately notice when the rabbit set fire to the kindling ...
Eventually, the fire reached the tanuki's back, burning it badly, but without killing it ... "

page 23 : the husband really works fast : he didnt divorce his wife , but he already introduced his son to his girl-friend , lol .

page 25 :
- the mother : i killed my son . what should i do ? well , i might as well give him a funeral and a ceremonial burial , and i dont need to invite anyone else to attend his funeral .

Awesome twist. 8/10.
I love when horror has realistic aspects to explain the insanity of a character or concept.
A mother who believes has lost her child who's gone missing until he abruptly comes back- except the reality is that she strangled her child to death when he angrily revealed that he loves his "new mommy" just as her husband does (the woman who her husband is cheating with) after she slapped him for demanding hamburger and throwing his food away.

From her genuine depression in believing her child is missing, to the relief of having him back albeit a delusion of her own mind where she then believes he's an imposter as he acts distant, with amnesia and throws angry tantrums when in actuality she's acting out those tantrums and biting her husband's ear off in the process, all while he's attempting to be calm and care for her in the beginning.
Until he's fed up and secretly leaves to his mistress again. The composition of her digging out her son's corpse with the switch transition to her strangling him to death was awesome. To later the husband revealing his experience to his mistress of her madness and her knocking their door open claiming her delusion isn't Michio while she carries his real corpse to them, even though she's conscious of killing him.

A simple insanely deranged but great and well exucted horror. Loved it.
