I've been looking for a new manga to read, and might have found my next stop with this series. A lot of people I follow online have started this series lately, and it comes highly recommended, so we're giving it a try! It's got a lot of elements that pander to readers like me: a shy, bookish protagonist, a secret and sinister urban underworld, a wry sense of humor. I'm glad to find a series with an older protagonist (that is to say, out of high school at least) even if it's not exactly aimed at an adult audience, so I think this might be a good one. We'll see!
