Friday Night Fights: Dine in the Spirit!

It’s less than a week ’til Halloween, and there’s still a few spooky battles we can highlight for… FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!

Tonight’s battle comes to us from 2006’s New Voices in the Dark and the story “Anything But a Ghost” by manga fear-master Junji Ito, best known to most of us as the creator of the dementedly awesome horror series Uzumaki. Shigeru is a guy who started an affair with a woman named Misaki, but ended the relationship because he decided she was just too creepy, and because his pregnant wife, Yuina, found out about it and committed suicide. But Misaki won’t let go — and she soon demonstrates one of the ways in which she’s just spectacularly creepy — she eats ghosts. In fact, she eats the ghost of Shigeru’s wife!
