Hair brushing and tying ponytails, such cute jealousy. Myako's backstory of being an unwanted cat, starts with being taken by a gangster-looking scary guy whom lives alone, and whom is surprisingly caring about Myako's wellbeing as a cat, she definitely lived in happiness. But that happiness is short-lived when she exposed her ghost spirit self in front of him in an effort not for him to abandon her, and that backfired as he begrudgingly let her go to have Fushihara find her in the light of his boss's death and his own. It feels solemn without family, and sad tears are definitely shed for a made-up fictional story that's as true as it could get.

Back to the workplace, and with all requests on Fushihara, Yuurei has no chance to ask her to leave. But she promises her that she will leave on time, and indeed Yuurei is all alone in the office, sleeping and dreaming about her mother while Fushihara was gone for a break. Reminiscing about her mother, Fushihara's now a mother figure to Yuurei, and that is truly hearty.

Sleeping together in a mosquito tent to avoid those blood-sucking pests, it's night time like a mother caring for her children that's craving for her full attention, and that's Fushihara's happiness to remain awake through the night.

Never thought that I'd be cutting onions this episode.

Definitely the most emotional episode so far.

That little competition between Yuurei and Myako's was adorable. Those pout faces. x3

Myako's backstory was really sad. I'm so glad she has a better place to live now.

Such a heartwarming moment. Don't worry, little one. Fushihara is with you. <3

The whole situation was too cute for Fushihara, so she couldn't get any sleep. xD

Nyanko's background story was pretty sad but she found a better place to live now and let's hope it stays that way.
Shachiku is pretty helpful at her job it's a shame she always have to do overtime hopefully her coworkers appreciate what she does for them.

The only part that Myako story that would say that could be made up is the Fushihara part, that is kinda scary if you think about it.

Wouldn't be a Shachiku-san episode without sad stuff, but today, had specially sad stuff.

Hah ponytail time for them child. So adorable, precious xd. Hoh so there's a backstory behind Myako fur brush? Well to think that there's something that been made up, Myako really had a guts telling all of it without even feeling sad and always letting out that smile. Now that's the real made up point among her story. Rip kind dude...

Alright, since Myako already done her signature line as a 'don't go' toward those scary but nice guy. The second part where Yuureichan return to her usual 'please leave'. What a bold move for those child trying to disturb those poor careless woman, but ended up Sachiku giving more spirit onto her works! *meeh meeh*

Is it just me or narrator letting tsk sound? Bruh slowly feels jealous after Sachiku-san getting all the benefits as a protag with those two cute kids xd. Though, she need to be more careful because playing along with their cuteness can surely make a sleep deprivation!

While there were some funny moments in this episode it was pretty sad to see Both our Ghost Girls pasts.

I like how Sachiku is paying back everything they are both doing for her.

Great episode.

Great episode! Myako and Yuurei-chan were sugoku kawaii nano desu (nipah) when they argued over who looked better in a ponytail xD.
We also got to see Myako's backstory and the kind man she met who fed her and took care of her. When he was about to go, she revealed her human form to him and it seems he planned her meeting with Shachiku?! He told her he didn't need her anymore and made her go but he didn't really mean it...

But then Myako revealed she made the full story up... or was she actually(?)

Looking forward to the next episode!

It's alway the yakuza guys who have a heart for cats xD

What a heartbreaking backstory. I refuse to believe that this didn't happen xD

Simply no way this backstory didn't happen. Maybe she doesn't want them to remain depressed.

This show really likes to make you put your guard down with super cute stuff and then kick you right in the nuts with some sad bits.

I made it even sadder on my head thinking that maybe he had a crush on Fushihara, so that's why he knew about her and they could have been a happy family all together.

Miyako's story was told in one sitting while Yuurei's is still slowly unfolding.
Her story surely can't be sadder than Miyako's...right?

Myako’s backstory was some unexpected feels, but with how all the cute little characters are ghosts a sad backstory had to happen at some point lol, what Myako and that yakuza guy had was really wholesome. It took me back to “Mieruko-chan” where there was a situation similar to this (also adored that show) and I know Myako said it wasn’t real but we all know it was real lol, and sadly it looks like he may have been offed at the end there but can’t know for sure.

Yuurei showing up to Fushihara’s work again was great, love how she got right up in her coworker’s face from the ceiling lol, and the bit where she was sleeping was really sweet. And the after credits with the little tent was amazing too, she got a cuteness overload lol.

Man, they just killed me with their stories!

First Nyanko with that kind Yakuza, when she said it was a made up story I was like "give me back my tears u!" but right after that, her reaction was all I needed to see.

After that, just thinking about how Yuurei'mom maybe died and she waited for her until she died of starvation, that made me cry while thinking about it, some kind of Hotaru no Haka vibes.

If Yuurei-chan can see her mom and leave to rest in peace at the end of the show, that would be a perfect 10 for me.

I think Myako's just lying about making it up, and in that case her backstory is so sad!

That backstory was actual fire though. Probably the best portion of the series so far


Very impressed with how this series can handle emotional parts

Sad backstory of Miyako doesn't want to be alone and abandoned.

(if the story wasn't made up)

And it does looks like the Yakuza guy "stalked" Fushihara... since he knows her work hours and what time she gets off work and what path she's going to take going home...

"I wish the guy will find happiness"... I am pretty sure he's "dead dead"

___ ___ ___

And then Yuurei had a dream about her "past"...

Where her mom never returns...

This is possibly how Yuurei dies as a little kid... and become a baby ghost...

___ ___ ___

Are all the little ghosts going to have tragic backstories?... this is so messed up...

Healing anime is secretly a Depression anime.

They are cute with these haircuts, but the cat's backstory was definitely sad I didn't expect that with the Yakuza and the guy probably died eventually :/ She said it was a lie but it surely not sadly.

Damn I did not expect that, he lover her with all his heart.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

in this episode we learn a little more about these 2 ghosts, the Bakeneko seems to have been thrown out by her previous owner for a reason and so we did find out and it seems that he did it to protect her since he seems to be in a lot of trouble

I wonder what happened to the kind and scary guy. I don't think Myako made him up. That story made me cry.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!
