Hanako and the Terror of Allegory, Volume 1 by Sakae Esuno
Many urban legends are meant to be scary. They’re scarier when they come true.

Ever heard of the axe man urban legend? The man stays under someone’s bed with an axe and kills them after they’ve fallen asleep. The axe man is under Kanae’s bed and she can’t let herself fall asleep. If she falls asleep, she’ll die. She can’t make him leave, either. So she goes to a special kind of detective agency in desperate need of help.

Aso Daisuke is a detective who likes to deal with nice, normal cases. However, he usually ends up dealing with supernatural problems instead. When urban legends start coming true for people, he says that they’ve been “possessed by an allegory.” In other words, when people believe allegorical stories like urban legends enough, the allegory can become reality. After getting spooked by the tale of the axe man, Kanae now has an axe man under her bed. [summary from Graphic Novel Reporter]
