Chie Watari
Kodansha Comics Friend (講談社コミックスフレンド) and Kodansha Comics Bessatsu Friend (講談社コミックス別冊フレンド) are here indicated by their usual abbreviations, KC Friend (KCフレンド) and KC Betsu Fure (KC別フレ).  Not only are they shorter, but these are the terms which appear on the comics themselves.

Authors who specialize in short works often have those works published multiple times in differently titled volumes, and also often have volumes released under previously used titles that contain different works.  For this reason I will be listing most of Watari's volumes separately, even when I have been unable to determine the contents.  Please note, however, that some "Suspense & Horror" titles are simply reprints of works that first appeared under the generic KC Friend banner. Since the contents are the same, these are not listed separately.

In Watari's case she also has works that were originally published in girls' magazines appearing later in ladies' comics anthologies.  All volumes containing at least one girls' piece are included in the main list regardless of whether the specific edition is intended for girls.

  • Kiseichuu (寄生虫)

Other ladies’ comics were published by Bunkasha under Bunkasha Comics - Horror M Series (ぶんか社コミックス・ ホラーMシリーズ) and Horror M Comic Bunko:
