I'm so upset by the story about the cute fluffy ayakashi!! I'm hurt that he never got a name. I am super tired of Kasha and I don't like him becoming a shikigami.

This series continues to progress in a very positive way for me. I am really enjoying what they are doing with Aoi's character. The progression with Aoi and the Nue is a beautiful tug of war that I love watching unfold. I am very much looking forward to what will happen coming up.
We are really starting to come into a lot more knowledge about Momochi House as well, and I am HERE FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

This is definitely Shouoto's best work. The artwork remains beautiful and the story is still engaging after (or at) ten volumes. I look forward to seeing how the story will develop and what will happen to Aoi.

I must admit, a part of my interest to this novel was because of the artwork on the cover. The artwork is the highlight of this manga, mostly because the story is a bit lacklustre.
Himari inherits her family's Momochi house (which is said to be haunted) when she becomes 16, after living in an orphanage for most of her life. She is naturally excited to have a house to herself and rediscovering her family's legacy. But the house has squatters, namely three extremely handsome guys (at this point, I should mention that no matter how handsome they were, the most appropriate response in this situation would be to involve the authorities) who refuse to leave. Turns out they are guarding the barrier between the spiritual and human realms, and she will just have to put up with them.
The manga is a bit over-the-top, starting with Himari entering to find a naked Aoi (why was he naked, though, even with all the strategically placed smoke), to her cleaning a house and coming across all sorts of spirits lurking. It reeks a little of Kamisama Hajimemashita, too (main love interest with furry apperance? Check!Girl being bullied into leaving? Check! Too attractive guys? Check!) Aoi's job basically becomes to protect her from all the mischievous spirits lurking in the house (hello damsel in distress herione - my least favorite trope) and Himari's is only to get into more trouble from which he can save her, while looking on adorably in despair.
Basically, it feels generic but the fantasy element and the artwork draws me in.
