Comments of Our House is a Rental Bookstore

Ch 3

I skipped to ch 12 just to find out what the secret was. The story isn't very engaging, I guess. Might read it later.

I am in love with this manga. I want more

I actually have the light novels on my shelves. Yay!

aduh pengen baca tp str8 aaaaaaaaaaa

Ch4. - really cute. I like the artstyle and I hope the folklore is authentic.

vol 1 ch 4 - "This place isn't good for humans."
A story about a human girl, Kaori, in the spirit realm who meets a fallen human boy (forgot his name).
I like the premise of this story, but it could've been a little better with introductions, introducing the world, etc... It's too early to judge anything else, so I'll keep reading this for now.

The manga doesn't do a good job introducing the characters, nor the proper set up of the overall story and the world-building is poor. Honestly, I thought the female lead was a guy until she said her name in the second chapter. Here I thought this was a shounen ai or something, because she immediately likes the wounded boy that they saved in the spirit realm. There's no chemistry between the two main characters. Other manga have done much better in execution of first meetings in just as many chapters, so it's not exactly impossible. I honestly don't give a crap about either of them right now, because they don't seem appealing. Both of them are human, but live in the spirit world. The girl was raised there since she was a kid, and she goes back and forth between the human and spirit worlds. The injured boy is from a family of exorcists, and he needs to stay in the spirit world for some unknown reason. Bleh. Motivations are weak and flat. The bookstore of the title doesn't seem to be the main focus at all. I'm disappointed. Also, the art is kinda below average for manga. There's a lack of screentones and for some reason, the noses are all drawn with circles when the characters are facing frontally, that was incredibly distracting for me. The chapters get worse and worse, with no proper plot nor pacing of events, it flows very unnaturally.

Next is eps.5

The Spirit Realm is the world where spirits reside.

In this world filled with man-eating spirits and where the sun doesn’t shine, there lives a single human.

She runs a bookstore with her adoptive spirit father, Mr. Shinonome. One day, she stumbles upon a bleeding boy collapsed outside her house.

Fun and terrifying — a heart-wrenching ghost story.

interesting!! im here for the adoptive spirit father shinonome-san
