manga cannot be scary because you cannot jump scare the reader and all horror relies on jump scares and sudden loud noises to be effective

it may be more disaster than horror but outside of pic related the weird epilogue of hakaijuu really took me out with that shit.

Horror is all about atmosphere, tension, and a feeling of vulnerability and danger to set up for things like jump scares and other spooks. When you isolate the the scares it ends up coming across as kinda goofy at best like >>279929976

I'm definitely been unnerved by manga before.

All of those are still horror anon, some fights here and there don't change that, we don't count the Higurashi reboot, it doesn't exist

They all become like 90% action after a certain point. Summertime Render abandons the horror entirely once Shinpei figures out how the looping works and Shide starts quipping at him constantly. Too bad

god, I hate how this thing cant decide what it wants to be

Because that the point. Sumertime Render is a mystery first and foremost, and once the mystery is solved you either end the story or find a way to finish it. Also it wasn't all at once, nor was even in Shinpei's favor until later, it still had moments of horror and dread until the very end.

Horror and comedy are surprisingly close together, pic related art was originally meant to be funny.

Are you retarded? The jumpscares are the catharsis for the horror, not the horror itself. You absolutely can jumpscare via manga btw, it's called a page turn.

FNAF and its consequences have been a disaster for zoomers.

>series
there's your problem
a true horror story must be a self-contained work. It undermines how horrifying it is when you know its going to keep returning to the status quo for the next monster of the week
