Line 34:
** For examples, there's the kids hallucinations when they come face-to-face with Asura, Eruka and Free having the skin ''pulled off their faces'' plus the one where Black Star appears to succeed in stopping Eruka. Maka's hallucination in the Clown chapters is just cruel.
* ''[[Chaos;Head]]'' features a main character who is a self-described disgusting, delusional, [[Otaku]], [[Hikikomori]] who is approached by [[Harem Genre|several beautiful girls]] all with a mysterious connection to a series of murders going on in Shibuya. This makes it extremely hard to tell where the events of the series lie on the line between paranoid hallucination and supernatural strangeness -- if there is in fact any separation between the two at all.
** As it turns out, the main character himself {{spoiler|is the equivalent of someone's [[Imaginary Friend]] taking a life of his own and turning into a [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]. The "real" Takumi is a wheelchair bound old man with a terminal illness. The teenaged, otaku Takumi is the result of the "original" Takumi's near [[Reality Warper]]

As Atsuko never seemed to have been affected by whatever the Magic Ball had done, this raises the possibility that our vision of the babies as monsters into doubt. And if we can't trust what we see or read to be what really happened here, how can we know that any of the apparent strange happenings throughout the story were real? The monsters in the well, Isamu's transformation, the bizarre change in attitude of Mayako and Atsuko's parents... it's possible none of it was real.}}
