Why it fits: The pleasure of eerie mysteries unfolding from town to town makes Recommendations from Iwamoto-Senpai a natural next watch after Horror Collector. Fushigi’s living legends bring immediate menace, while Kodo and his young companion uncover strange abilities and unexplained happenings across Japan; this one leans more toward period fantasy and discovery.

Why it fits: Horror Collector and Let’s Go Kaikigumi both turn supernatural encounters into a string of creepy, self-contained adventures, with plenty of room for odd humour. Fushigi faces dangerous living legends alongside the strange presence of Jimmy, while Kaiki-gumi’s ghost-fearing recruit panics at apparitions as his fearless boss charges in, making the scares much more playful.

Why it fits: For eerie spirit-monster encounters with a lively companion at the centre, Black Torch offers a more action-heavy follow-up to Horror Collector. Fushigi and Jimmy travel through ominous legends and sealing showdowns, while a boy and his talking cat face supernatural foes in agile ninja fights, with their growing trust adding warmth to the danger.
Why it fits
Horror Collector turns eerie supernatural encounters into a journey, while Dara-san of the Reiwa Era makes a frightening creature the centre of playful, heartfelt comedy. Instead of sealing dangerous legends after spooky puzzles, siblings build an unlikely friendship with a lonely serpent-like being.
Why it fits
Horror Collector’s town-by-town hunt for living legends may appeal if you like supernatural danger unfolding one encounter at a time; The Vermillion Mask turns that journey into haunted action fantasy. Peru battles threats tied to cursed masks, with guilt over his past giving the quest a heavier, more remorseful edge.
Why it fits
Horror Collector’s creepy creature encounters and unfolding supernatural chase lead naturally to The Doomies’ playful monster adventure. Best friends Bobby and Romy face a town overrun by creatures after opening an underworld portal, trading ominous road-trip mysteries for brisk comedy and the growing trouble of hiding their mistake.
