An adorable collection of short stories dealing with every day life with these zany characters! I loved seeing the Mokkes have a more prominent role in this collection considering they were the first rumor that had to be changed. I also enjoyed the small worldbuilding tidbits scattered throughout each story. Nothing earth-shattering, but enough to build more lore and show daily life in a haunted setting.
As for why it has a lower rating than other volumes, it's purely subjective. I liked a lot of the stories, but some weren't as interesting. Also, since this is meant to be more of a slice-of-life volume, there weren't as many emotionally impactful moments since there was a heavier focus on comedy. Still, the artwork was as strong as ever and it was fun seeing the gang do normal, everyday teen activities just in a supernatural infested setting. A fun read for fans of the series looking for a funnier, slice-of-life tone that I highly recommend.

This collection of short stories was pretty entertaining with my favourites including Hanako-kun turning into a girl and doing ‘girly’ things with Nene to the utter confusion of Kou; Nene turning into a Mokke and learning that we all come from them and Hanako-kun coming down with the uncommon cold. I also quite liked Tiara Minamoto’s chapter too.
Apart from that, the rest were just fine. I think most of these stories were too brief and didn’t really go anywhere. I believe the collection would have been stronger had there been fewer but longer and more compelling short stories. I’m also finding that the more I read about Akane and Natsuhiko, the more annoying they are!
But anyway, it was a decent enough read, I just wanted more substantial stories.
