Necrophile of Darkside Sister ? for real ?
isn't there a misunderstanding between "necrophile" and "necrophage" ? Because necrophile is quite meh while this manga seems to refer to the second term.

Yeah... I agree. And I can't believe I just read a chapter just to answer that.

As long as there's no necrophilia - actual or implied - , I'll just put it down to either a translator error, or the usual mangling of western languages.

For all those thinking of thanking me for the scanlations, I only upload them, and I'm just a mod here. Please leave a message on the actual groups' pages that do all the hard work.

I asked jap friends who told me that even the raw title has that meaning... Guess it come straight from the mangaka.

Necrophile would probably attract more attention than Necrophage.

The title was written that way by the author. It is not a mistranslation and was probably intended. The Japanese title reads "Shoujo Gensou Necrophilia" btw.

It's basically Engrish, a Japanese mangaka using an English (or Latin, in this case, I believe(Ratin?)) term without really knowing the specifics.

I say this because after reading 3 chapters I haven't seen a hint of any sexual activity with anyone.

I agree with you, necrophage suits the title better but it clearly says nechrophilia: ネクロフィリア --->nekurofiria
