"My noisy roommate" is a quick, fun read with a lovable main character. The story has such a unique concept: instead of hunting ghosts, the characters try to relocate them, which comes with its own challenges. Some of the ghosts really don’t want to leave. I did think the start was a bit slow, but the plot quickly picks up and introduces a lot of Japanese folklore. I’ll definitely keep an eye on this series!

I enjoyed reading this!

There wasn't a big focus on the romance in this volume, but more about the supernatural that the characters were encountering. I think it was a good choice because it sets the plot and the romance can gradually progress. It's a good balance for me so far!

I'll definitely be interested in reading the next volume of this manga.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc.

I enjoyed this story, but I wish there was more. The story bounced around fairly quick as they were moving ghosts. There also wasn’t much of a relationship between the two main characters. I would definitely read another one to see where the story heads. It was fun, just not in-depth to my preference.

"My Noisy Roommate" has nice art and a cute story. The characters are sweet and interesting although the plot could be a bit more refined. I especially like the yokai theme!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this story.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

I really enjoyed this manga! I thought the boys were adorable together. Osuke was so funny and awkward and I understand him hardcore. I loved how he always called Nijio "the hot guy" in his head. The plot of them finding new homes for ghosts was really cute too. I liked that they weren't forcibly evicted ghosts that weren't being harmful. It was a very interesting concept. I'm very interested in reading more of the story, especially since there seems to be some more ghost hunters that are returning to HQ! I can't wait for the next volume.

There’s few tropes more fun than reluctant partners, and forcing two people to work together to eliminate ghosts as a paid service fully capitalizes on the ridiculousness of this. In particular the MC here has energy that inexplicably attracts spirits whereas his reluctant partner has extraordinary energy that makes them run from him - leaving him no choice but to recruit the MC. I love this balance of opposites not necessarily attracting, but becoming necessary for something to work.

This first volume establishes a very genuine reluctant partners to lovers setup that feels like it’s not going to speedrun through their eventual friendship to get to the romance, and I love that. Definitely sticking around for the next volume. We need more supernatural takes on enemies to lovers like this.

A really unique and fun idea with a lot of room to grow!

I enjoyed this manga, it has fantastic art and a refreshing take. I do think there is a small rush at the start to get the plot going but as this is just volume one there is so much room for growth and more information to come out about all our characters and their backstories that lead to what we see happening here in this one. I would love to know more about how Nijio got his abilities and also why Osuke seems to be a magnet for yokai so hopefully future volumes bring out those details.

The title for this manga made me chuckle when I read it, so I immediately downloaded it on NetGalley. I think that this is a great introduction to what clearly will be a nice series. You are introduced to the main characters and get a great view of what their jobs will be. You don't get a ton of backstory for either character, but you do get enough to keep you interested in continuing the series. The artwork is fantastic! Each character has a unique design and the monsters kind of perfectly fit what they are. If you like manga, paranormal activity and urban legends, and some situational humor, you should definitely pick this volume up.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for the chance to read this manga!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eARC.

Interesting read. Really liked the plot and characters. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the volumes.

I loved the story and how the character sees himself in the situation. I really liked them both, they are so sweet, and the complete opposite of each other.
You could notice the esteem they began to feel for each other, and the trust.
I immensely enjoyed the fantasy and the mystical creatures that appear in the story.
The drawings are fantastic, they suit the story perfectly and show and let the characters' personalities shine.
It made me super curious for the next volume.

I absolutely adored this manga! It perfectly balanced fantasy and plot with humor and character depth in a way which complimented each other.
It was exciting to see all the ghosts, perhaps a bit apooky in some parts, and it was funny when both characters interacted off the job! I'm hoping a romance will blossom 🫶
I will certainly be picking up the other volumes!!

This book was actually pretty good. Not too much happened but I feel like it set up a lot of stuff for the rest of the story and the ending made me interested in seeing what will happen next. I would def recommend this to my friends and people looking for a supernatural quick paced story. I will def be reading the rest of this series as it comes out. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

The manga is about a homeless man who becomes an assistant to a ghost relocation business. In order for the arrangement to work, they have to live together. I enjoyed the main characters and the concept intrigued me, but I found it confusing at times. I wouldn't say I liked the ending with the additional character, and it made me hesitant to continue if he's going to be a permanent fixture.

I quite enjoyed this. I love the whole bad boy vibe is a sucker for his lover trope so this was way up my alley. The main characters were very fun and the art was adorable. Definitely a solid bl romance

I really liked the manga, the supernatural plot it's interesting and they make a good pair, one is calm, sleeps a lot, and doesn't talk much and the other is more expressive and curious. We see as they start getting along and trusting each other.

Bit of a slow start however once I understood the storyline and what was happening I really enjoyed it and cannot wait for Book 2.

This was a fantastic blend of humour and ghost stories. I liked uncovering the mystery of the ghosts with the characters while also watching the snarky replies between the two men. I really enjoyed the protagonist - I was nervous they were going to make him 'adorkable' but they really did a great job in making him fumble a new job without going over the top and making him a walking trope.
I really can't wait for the next one to see where their relationship might take them and who the two new mysterious characters are in the area. Fingers crossed the translation comes out soon!

:D light, fluffy, and cute! our main character needs somewhere to live ASAP, and ends up sharing an apartment with a really cute guy... and ghosts??? he soon is brought into a ghost eviction business.

this is structured around short ghost eviction jobs done by the two main characters. Not much happens, but it's fun to watch them get closer and solve small problems together. I found it sweet and enjoyable :) I was pretty confused at the beginning, but as I understood the artist's style a bit more I settled into reading. I'm definitely looking forward to further volumes!

(thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a free eARC in exchange for my honest review!)

An incredibly funny story. Two boys and ghost hunting.

I have to admit that the first few pages were very creepy with these appearances, but I have to admit that the couple of guys are super cute.

I was so happy to see manga on Netgalley that I requested it immediately and was glad to be approved!

Osuke finds himself on his own with no place to live. While lamenting his poor circumstances, he is approached by a shady real estate agent to live somewhere cheaply. Having no other options, he takes this, only to find out that he has moved into a room with a random, tattooed blonde man. To make matters worse, his room is haunted by a ghost! Turns out that Osuke is a conduit for spirits, and his roommate Nijio is able to evict them to move elsewhere. Now that this has happened, Osuke finds himself employed by the shady real estate agent for ghosts and working with Nijio to relocate these spirits.

This was well drawn, and the story was engaging and funny. I enjoyed the premise and the banter between characters. Each chapter is broken up into a different case for the duo. I hope to read more volumes to see what happens further in their story. It definitely has promise to be a great series!
