Aww. This doesn't have any of the one-off color pages. They're mostly just references, but some of them are cute.

Okay, this is freaking hilarious. I like a lot of the one-shots, and all of the arcs.

"Explain!" made me laugh soo hard XD and the one where she goes sleep floating made me d'aw.

the current arc looks to be another good one

And, because I ship (oh, lords, do I ship) - I'm shipping Erma and Sidney. In a potentially aromantic way, but still. BFFs forever and all that X3 Like, Red Diamond quadrant stuff, for those up on troll lore XD

When you look at it from a child being afraid or in pain angle its almost brings a tear to your eye. I've been in the room with my baby nephew while he was getting a shot and he was crying so bad it made my chest hurt,I only found out later i was giving the doctor a death glare the entire time

what is erma doing on my animu porn site
ERMA IS PURE, NOT FOR LEWDS

@sandler you sure it's not translated yet? page 134 seems perfect for a ratoncito pérez joke

Hey, looks like Brandon got himself some new drawing equipment, as per page 174. Good for him.

It's the baby sitter.

My heart's melted from that shady birthday deal.

I have this grave feeling in my gut that when Erma plays with snow, "Duel of the Fates" suddenly rises in the background.

Ghost Aunt is ADORABLE!

I do not like these devils teasing my Erma.

I'm going to need a larger res cap of Erma's happy face on page 204 after I get off work. God, I almost giggled surrounded by my co-workers.

What in the world is this doing on a hentai site??? And why is no one else wondering about it?

@Akaidokisama

Maybe because this is MOSTLY a hentai site, but there are other non hentai works around here. I dont see the problem of having some sfw comics, a lot of people, me included, come to this site to find good works comics, mostly are, obviously, nsfw, but sometimes a change of "theme"(not of quality) is welcome. Thats all IMO, of course.

For those curious, the 'nevermore' strip is in reference to an American poem from the 19th century. I had to look it up too

The troll raven is a new high point. The bird likes to play with fire.

On the current story arc. Is the person answering the door the babysitter from pg. 13 that was sent to the Mental Institute?

Except Pennywise.

Screw him.

...might actually be worse. The kanji in the note doesn't say "grandmother". It says "grandfather".

Base +12, Iroald +6, inser_name_here92 +6, Vonsta +4, jmasterchain +9, tobeunforgiven2 +20

That page with Pennywise actually reminds me of that scene from Scary Movie 2 with the clown under the bed. Comedy gold there. Comedy gold here.

Edit: That guy on 199 in the last panel. I'm dead.

Edit 2: Well now this family reunion is certainly gonna be an interesting one. Still off to a better start than my family reunions.

Normally I am only on this site for the porn. But this comic is just too cute not to read every update!

Just a reminder that these are on Amazon if anybody wants to toss some cash in the artist's direction.

Edit: Also I bet it turns out that that birthday present from grandpa was a Magical Pretty Princess Unicorn DVD or something and Emiko destroyed it for nothing.

This is such a fun comic! I absolutely adore it so much!

Base +8, victorpofa +12, gogogodzilla +8, Froogo +7, blind crow +6, tobeunforgiven2 +20

The author wants to tell a story, and from the foreshadowing throughout the past strips, he clearly had an overall narrative in mind. I think he could've paced things more effectively (seriously, it took an entire year to get us from the family getting that invitation to having their first day out in this monster town. What the hell.), but I respect him for giving a shot at something he wanted to do, even if it isn't entirely perfect.

And I disagree that we're losing focus on Erma; whatever the endgame this whole series is leading up to, it's going to be centered on her. We're just being introduced to another side of her family that we haven't known yet, and she'll be discovering it herself.

I'm still onboard, and I do want to see how this goes. It's still as funny as the previous strips, just with a touch more drama put in.

@MitchellTF
Look up 'Spirit's Bloom' on this site, that's the book you're looking for.

This is story rich material - I'd watch animated series of Erma. Is there some way I can say thanks for this entering my library?

Base +6, deprave1 +4, DeepExplorer +1, Crow_PD +6, blind crow +6, tobeunforgiven2 +20

I am feeling that our good Sam here is not entirely normal. I mean he stayed utterly chill while a monster is at .5 second to eat him, and then say he had it covered ? I don’t think he was bragging, he could literally have handled it himself. Which bring the question: how...How could a mere human without any powers have survived the assault of a supernatural monster, and then the dozen of creatures that would try to kill him...and apparently he shouldn’t even be able to see them ? Who is he ?

Yeah, this is probably my favorite webcomic. I'm not even into horror, and I get so much out of this. Go pick up the prequel the artist made, it's a pretty cute lovestory of how Sam and Emiko met. It also introduces a character that seems to become major later, that we have only seen on one page in the comic, with no attention being drawn to him.

Base +9, Yoni Diamond +8, Qwertius +4, tobeunforgiven2 +20

When we getting new Erma...?

Base +7, RaizelX +7, jere512 +6, Yoni Diamond +8, tobeunforgiven2 +20

Oh, give it up, Snake Lady! The twins are just taking after the bulk of the people in the family, who seem to be quite mean and callous.
I.E. they are bullies who did not have someone stand up to them and say "No more!" and put a smackdown on their bums who is their own age!
Once you realize that you are not the 'big man on the block' in your age group and someone is more physically powerful than you and has the moral impetus to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves? You hie to the code.
