NAKAYAMA: I hadn't heard the expression “jump scare” [an English expression that has no perfect Japanese equivalent] before.

Ogushi can't be accurately described as an active organizing or orchestrating force; the deity may serve as a starting point or a framework, but author Masaaki Nakayama's tendency is to treat it as almost extra-narrative: to be remarked on, but perpetually out of reach. PTSD Radio ( Kouishou Rajio or After Effects Radio Network) is a horror manga by Masaaki Nakayama (author of Fuan no Tane), that consists of short, eerie ghost stories. Unlike Fuan No Tane, the stories here aren't completely unrelated and many intertwine at different points. A recurring theme is the probably-malevolent "God of Hair" and the people who worship it.

It might not sound special at all, but "PTSD Radio" perfectly combines all these various elements into one, making readers mesmerized by the story with each new thing appearing in it. Sometimes using well-known elements in a fine way might lead to creating an original work of art, and in my opinion this is the case of "PTSD Radio".Demonic Dummy: A straw dummy that might be possessed by the God of Hair (or might be one of its forms) appears.
