Synopsis

Folklore detective Asou Daisuke would rather deal with normal, everyday, things like cheating spouses, embezzling partners and the like. Because whenever he deals with the supernatural, he gets the hiccups.

But no matter, an endless stream of desperate people come to him troubled by what he calls allegories. Those are stories, usually urban legends, that one believes to be true and if one believes strong enough can cause them to become true. His first case involves "The Man Under The Bed." Can he stop this creepy man with an axe before he chops up Hiranuma Kanae? Why does Asou count his hiccups and just who is that strange girl in his bathroom?

This mangas general story concept was pretty interesting, in that it had to do with investigations surrounding a number of tall tales and such. These stories I thought were pretty well done too, with lots of creepy scenes and overall being pretty gripping from beginning to end. Hence, I think that most of the manga was pretty interesting. I did have problems with the main cast of characters though, in that while there was some good background development for Hanako, the other two felt pretty underdeveloped when focused upon, and their relationship especially seemed to just suddenly be there. Hence, the story portions that focused on them over ...

This manga is nothing special, it's a monster of the week series that gradually tries to be something more at the halfway point in the manga.

You get a detective and his two sidekicks sleuthing and doing comfy slice of life shenanigans with very mild stakes involved for the first 12 or so chapters.

After this, it attempts to flesh out each main character with some backstory, it feels rather forced when it comes to the female lead. Even a bit confusing, her backstory is only given to us because she is plagued with an allegory. Which I will not explain to you, if haven't ...

I haven't read Future Diaries nor any of Sakae Esuno's other works, but just going off Hanako to Guuwa no Teller alone, I can say with total confidence that Sakae Esuno is a terrible writer.


To start off this review on a more positive note, I'll list off the things I actually liked about Hanako to Guuwa no Teller. The characters are almost likeable for what they are. I wouldn't say that any of them are especially memorable or that I cared about them all that much, but there were a few cute moments and gags with them that I found somewhat endearing, if rushed ...
