356 vivacious vampires

[aphanon_meme]

Oh vampires! Oh meme! It's October, which is officially Halloween season. And... Himaruya is back? Kind of? Sort of? In a way. I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened on Halloween. Or if it will forever remain... a mystery. Much like the decision making process behind most of these titles.

Enjoy part 356!

I love these illustrations! Very inspiring for future projects.

Though I unfortunately don't know any Japanese ghost stories, but I did come across this book once with Japanese monster penises. It frightened me, does that count?

Re: today's theme: japanese ghosts

Right? They're very intriguing.

Of course it counts! Monster penises are monsters all the same.

Re: today's theme: japanese ghosts

Why not? Giant scary penises crawling along the ground, looking for lost little vaginas wandering around in the middle of the night.

It's a nice ghost story imo ;3;
The series is called Ayakashi: Samurai Ghost Tales
Sorry I had the name wrong earlier
(Bakaneko in the third arc is also pretty cool as an original spinning off into Mononoke)
