I don't get it. What's wrong with her? Other than being naked in the forest.

according to the TL group she is supposed to represent the Yuki-Onna (Snow Woman) who is supposed to lead men to their deaths. But that's just their guess.

Nice, interesting...
It leaves it as a mystery, since he can see all those different worlds, who really knows what is it supposed to be :P
Love it

I don't think she's a snow woman, because those are generally... covered in snow?

I think she was just some freaky monster/spirit/demon thing that he saw as something beautiful with his new eyes (if any of you know Saya no Uta - just like that, but with less people-eating.)

That's what the translators at SnoopyCool think. Pretty cool. And the shot of the contents of volume 2 would seem to indicate that each volume has a bonus chapter...Yay!

this is only a theory...maybe the guys from SnoopyCool, the translators mistook the snow woman, Yuki-onna with Yama-ub, an old woman that can change form to attract victims, usually male, she is found in the forest just like in our case...the old woman look may explain why Okita and Fran are so shocked when thy see the painting...
it's just a theory...

So apparently, having good eyes helps you to see ghosts.
Sort of reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain with the techno-shamanist theory that Japan is so fond of.
That "God exists in the waves" sort of thing.

Also, I want to know how they decided it was THAT Japanese spirit. I mean, no hints of snow or ice anywhere. I get the feeling it was a good chance another obake.

Old avatar and sig retired for now.

I guess that girl is some sort of Ayakashi/Youkai, they said snow girl, but I get the gist!

I cant believe the guy got so freaked, it would be cool to be able to see that wide a spectrum of EM, after a bit of training to get used to it!

Fran the misguided romantic as ever!

It looks to me like this was OBVIOUSLY a shout-out to Saya no Uta.

I mean, the Eldritch Abominations chasing him through the forest? Given Butch Gen's obsession with Lovecraft?

And that is why I loved it. Nice reference/shout-out, nice chap

So there's japanese folklore monsters on that forest, that's why Fran told him to not go there.
He's happy in his own world, that's enough for him

He has eyes that can reveal the secrets of the universe :o

I'd rather not think that the naked Forest Lady is something hideous in reality just like Saya no Uta because she's the one hot thing in a forest full of invisible monsters. At least he's happy~ I have to say that I like girls with that hairstyle even if it sounds pretty pointless.

On an unrelated note, Fran's amateur gore porn video at the previous extra chapter gave me one of the top 10 weirdest boners.

I wonder was the girl a yuki onna and that's why Okita freaked out or her true form was very monstrous?

No entiendo que es en realidad la chica que ve. Espero que se explique bien en el futuro, o quizás omití algo.
