The concept of the series is so interesting ans different from a lot of other things I've personally read. I watched the anime a long time ago, so it's really cool to get to relive everything through this medium.

I was really hopeful with this series. I watched the anime just earlier this year and really enjoyed it, and have heard very good things about the manga. Still, I was surprised (mildly) to see that Yen Press was publishing it, but added it to my list immediately. And because of how excited I was, how hopeful, I doused that with a lot of worry. Because I didn’t want to have my expectations too high, to be disappointed. Either way, this was a really good volume. It didn’t get me obsessed or anything yet, but with a few more volumes, who knows.
Our main character, Ririchiyo, has a hard time not being mean to other people, no matter how badly she wants to be nice. She’s grown up with a hard shell, and doesn’t know how to tear it down. At the start of the series, she moves into a dorm-like building, with several other people like her, and all of whom have a servant/bodyguard. Hers is Soushi, who is very fond of her, rather protective and ‘emotional’ and attached to her. She doesn’t want a bodyguard, but he doesn’t intend to leave, unless she strictly orders him to do so, and she doesn’t want to do that.
I love their relationship, particularly how Soushi acts with her, all adoring and fond and not wanting to leave her side for a second or let her make her own breakfast. I am really looking forward to their relationship growing and developing, and for them to develop on their own, as well as seeing more of their back-stories.
Then there’s the other occupants of the house. They’re all very unique and adorable and hilarious. There’s a woman who has a fixation on good looking women like Ririchiyo, and her ‘master’, someone who knows Ririchiyo from when she was younger, who is lazy and laidback. There’s Roromiya, who is quiet and observant and always eating something, who I personally love and really want to know better. We met a couple other characters as well, Natsume who is manipulative and kind of psychic, and Watanuki who likes Roromiya and is defensive and dislikes being looked down on, and there are still more to come, I know.
There’s a lot more to find out with the characters and the plot, and I’m really looking forward to reading more, seeing it all develop.

It's not that I thought this was bad...it just wasn't very interesting. I kept losing interest in it and having to force my attention back to it, just to finish it. I won't be reading the next volume.

A non-spoilery review.
This story starts as a cute slice of life manga, but not as a very good one. The supernatural element feels almost like an extra. Then, around chapter 18, it suffers an immense toneshift, meaning it looses all its relaxing, refreshing vibe in exchange for The Actual Plot. You have to read a couple volumes before getting to the plot, tough, and those volumes are kinda bad.
I don't really recommend this series.
