Love the creepy side of Japan? On the surface, all that people hear about Japan is their rich culture, and how weird some of their customs and inventions are. But aside from that, there is a darker side of Japan, including their unsettling urban legends. From different colored toilet paper to a poem that might curse you, this book will show you many of their urban legends are odd and downright creepy. And trust me, they will also show you yet another example of how weird Japan is. 

Oh, Japan... how I love you so much.

「 " 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩! "」 Ah. What a peculiar boy. - This story depicts an unhealthy relationship between the reader and a fictional male created by none other than Junji Ito.

Anyways, back to the warning. This story also contains graphic descriptions of violence, kidnapping, torture, Stalking and nonsensual kissing. This is your first and final warning.

As Fate Would Have It (AN ABANDONED PROJECT... FOR NOW) by sourfruitsnackos

"Do you remember when I told you the story of Unmei no akai ito," Satori whispered. Ah, the red thread of fate. You remembered that one. "Hm? What about it?" You whispered back. "It has no boundaries, apparently..." <<<>>> TENDOU X FEM READER This is a modern au type of story, so be warned! I will use modern slang, apps, companies, etc. that wouldn't necessarily be around or common in the haikyuu-universe. DISCLAIMER~~~ I do not own Satori Tendou, any characters of Haikyuu, or the Haikyuu universe. That's all thanks to Haruichi Furudate :) Cover art is originally created by @BRTRmilk_ on Twitter and this photo use is mega TEMPORARY!!! I am currently creating my own cover art.

Amnietra Astroupedous! by psychonuggie

Join a young woman's journey in her happy little life, a ginger Japanese girl in her late 20's, working as your average journalist. But there's a twist! And its a bit more sinister than you may have thought... - Cover art by me! This intentionally starts 'dry' and bad. She used to think like this until her life became more eventful. #depression. I'd say it starts getting better by Chapter 5.

LATE NIGHTS IN TOKYO (UNPOLISHED VERSION) by AquaediusAiyoka

***UNPOLISHED*** ***PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE GOING TO READ THIS*** EVERYTHING WORD IS LITERALLY STRAIGHT FROM MY ICLOUD NOTES 💀😂 IT IS NOT EDITED "Late nights in Tokyo is cluster of information from me myself" "Describing my ways" "My emotions" "My thoughts" "In my own personal way..." "ON god i cant stand me dealing with these thoughts because sometimes it gets to me other times i successfully get them outta my head... i dont need to be thinking anythng like this for real...i need someone to save me you feel me...because like i said it isnt healthly to just sit here and feel like this...i gotta find good in the bad and most of the time it is...I wanna help so many people as i can and tell them this is the way...i wanna be peoples light..its sounds dumb but i know how to feel and i gotta get all this hate and dark feelings out" "I made this because I always wanted to keep track of my thoughts and feelings and maybe this will passed on to someone who wants to understand me..." "In a beautiful different city like Tokyo" 1/30/19 "The only person that can save me is myself. I shouldn't depend on nobody else on such deep personal feelings" "Late Nights In Tokyo, The "Late Nights" could mean myself or my feelings, thoughts, mindset, and all in general how I perceive things. Same thing with "Tokyo" I could be in my head overthinking or expressing my emotions flexing my own beauty. Hence why calling Tokyo a beautiful city. My thoughts and etc (Late Nights) are within myself (Tokyo) "Late Nights in Tokyo". Goes without saying, everyone's own way of thinking it's unique and different...everyone has their own beauty". "Scattered thoughts and emotions just written down from an emotional teenage boy, trying to figure himself out". Enjoy 3/29/20 December 20, 2016 (first created) October 11, 2019 (finished)

Summoning Our Country - NHS Kai by therose_ninomae

CONTENT WARNING: Japanese ultranationalism, language, gore depictions, obscene scenery Off to the Orient lay a massive ocean that separated the bellies of the great continents of Eurasia and the Americas. In between the global juggernauts that were the United States of America and the People's Republic of China was a state home to 120 million people and the world's third largest economy. But things often don't go as hoped. The nation of Japan suddenly wakes up to the heavens above them having been rewritten in what seemed like divine premonition. A familiar, yet otherwise alien world awaited them beyond the shores that had kept them safe. As the vices of globalization threatened to wreck havoc and condemn the Japanese state into obscurity, it was up to newly elected Prime Minister Takamori Hideaki and his administration to face this challenge of epic proportions. Paying homage to みのろう's Summoning Japan (Nihonkoku Shoukan, NHS) as a fan-made work, this story will also follow Japan, but explores a completely different world. Now helmed by a named Prime Minister, Japan will wade the murky waters of the new world as it struggles to come to terms with its issues. Also available on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Fanfiction.net

Little Sister(Haunted) by ib_fabricatedworld

Have you ever heard of the famous urban legend in Japan? If you ever walked in the dark streets late at night, you might just meet a Lolita carrying a ragdoll in her arms, pale faced and smiling. She would only ask you a question, "Do you have a little sister?" If you answered yes, you might not see your sister ever again. However, if the answer is no, you will get one real soon.

Malice Hearts Yin Book 1 Part 1 by MetalaKahame

The darkness of the human heart survives death. Set in the 1700s, In an alternate history, fantasy version of Earth. The Ayakashi has run rampant across the Asian continent. The Onmyodo is an organization that has risen to great power by harnessing the supernatural abilities of these creatures, earning them great respect but also great fear and resentment. Yuki, a young Onmyoji, has great aspirations to ascend to the top of the Onmyodo and become a legendary hero. He also desires to find his younger sister Mei, who was kidnapped by the Ayakashi when they were children. Unfortunately, Yuki is a literal personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect. He has no talent for the leader role his doting Master put him in and his eccentric teammates can't stand to work with him. Of course, from Yuki's perspective he's a genius and their all just jealous. He is a very delusional protagonist. In Snow Souls, Part 1 Yuki and his team must travel to Shanghai in search of the rumored "Cold Child"; a strange creature that has been using the powers of ice and illusions to protect the women of the red-light district. While there, they learn of both the Zi family, a powerful gang rumored to use demons and of the Faceless Murders, where bodies have been turning up with their faces devoured. Why had Onmyodo sent them capture the harmless Cold Child rather than have them look into these more dire rumors? Or is something more sinister brewing behind the scenes? Could Cold Child actually be more than what they seem, and could they hold the secret to not only the dangerous Zi family but also the face devouring demon dog whom stalks Shanghai's streets at night? Perhaps... they could be the key to unlock a secret dark secret hidden within the Onmyodo it's self? More importantly, is this the mission where Yuki will finally gain the recognition of his team and prove that he's NOT the worst commander in the history of the Onmyodo!?
