* Zen's backstory is truly upsetting: far from being the cat killer as assumed, he was emotionally and psychologically abused by his overbearing mother who flipped out once when he made a 98 on a test. Worse, when Zen discovers a black cat and decides to take care of it, his mother kills it out of anger. The ghostly cats that follow Zen do so out of sympathy.

* Miko helps a senile woman return home. The fact that this is a situation where an elderly woman had forgotten a lot of things in her life up to and including her own daughter's name is depressing. But it too ends on a happier note: the combination numbers her husband repeated allow her to open a safe to retrieve a gift her husband left her and she gets her memories back.

Added DiffLines:

The entire series is this given Miko's near-constant state of fear and misery. As for specific examples.


!!General
* The anime's opening, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp8uyteiowQ&ab_channel=GAccelKun Mienaikara ne!?]]'', while cute and funny is actually mortifying once you realized that the lyrics are basically describing Miko's entire situation. We even hear Miko desperately pleading to the ghosts to stop following her.

[[AC: Episode 4 and Chapter 9]]
* At first, it seems like your typical chapter where Miko has to ignore a giant troll-like creature while having breakfast with her family. Until TheReveal that Miko's father has been dead the whole time and what she was actually avoiding was confronting her father for the first time since his passing. There's even some implied PartingWordsRegret where Miko and her father had an argument over some chestnut pudding, which Miko had bought earlier in the chapter to give to her father's shrine.
