## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Mieruko-chan is a Japanese television series released in 2021 that blends elements of animation, comedy, and fantasy. The story centers on a high school student named Miko Yotsuya, whose life changes when she begins to see terrifying monsters and dead people. While Miko previously enjoyed an unassuming life that included watching late-night horror shows for entertainment, she is now forced to confront entities that appear directly in front of her. These creatures often ask if she can see them, but Miko adopts a specific strategy of ignoring the horrific apparitions entirely. This approach to dealing with the supernatural leads to a series of events that are described as both horrifying and hilarious. The television series is based on a manga written and illustrated by Tomoki Izumi, which began serialization online in November 2018. The source material for the show is licensed in North America by Yen Press and has been collected into multiple tankobon volumes. The television adaptation focuses on the tension between Miko's daily routine and her unwanted ability.
