Mieruko-chan is a delightfully twisted comedy horror manga about a girl who can see and hear spirits – often deeply warped and grotesque spirits – but must pretend she can’t in order to avoid their attention. It’s hit volume 10 in the original Japanese manga, the English translation is up to nine official volumes, and there’s more to come. So you can imagine the surprise of creator Tomoki Izumi when readers started asking him about the end of the manga, only to find that Google was to blame. 

In a (machine translated) tweet, Izumi notes that “I often wondered why people thought Mieruko-chan was finished, and when I looked into it, I found that Google had ended it on its own,” sharing a screenshot of search results indicating that the manga had ended with volume 10.
