you're doing better than me. I've been trying to do 13 Days of Halloween on my Tumblr with song uploads, Halloween-esque songs, but I've forgotten to do it like two or three days now already. And you can only upload one song per day, so when I forget I'm screwed. :|

I've read a manga chapter that was based on this story, but again, not in such detail as yours. And yay, Devil Summoner throw-in! That Oshichi is cute, in a morbid way lol.

Oh, which manga? The character designs in that series are awesome. I always like including them when I can.

This '70's horror shojo 'bad but kinda awesome also' manga called "Deimos no hanayome". I forget which volume it was, though.

Kaneko is such a cool illustrator! So gothic and stylish♥
