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.

Thank you to the publisher Kodansha Comics for providing an e-ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.

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!

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!

This was cute. I found the plot kind of jumped around a bit and time progressed a little quickly but I didn't mind it. I loved the progression of their relationship and partnership fighting the demons. It was pretty organic and adorable. I like it a lot! I really want to read more to see how it progresses from here!

Thanks to NetGalley for the free arc in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a nice change of pace, slow burn BL Manga. I loved the details of the ghosts, I love how you snuck in that one character midway to tie everything together. The facial expressions were so cute, I love a grumpy X Sunshine troupe! This is such a cute manga. Cannot wait to see where it goes.

I arc read this through Netgalley and OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!

When the boy who scares ghosts away despite his need for their co-operation for his job, meets the boy who attracts any and all ghosts to possess him, it only makes sense that they move in together, right?

The cover art was what originally drew me to it, then the blurb, and then when I started reading it I just completely fell in love with everything about it! The internal colour pages are beautiful, the story and world building are great, and the characters are so interesting!!

I will definitely be buying a physical copy of this upon release and will definitely be continuing the series too!

Do y'all ever look at a title and wonder - why? What was the need for that many words? Because I do. One of mine and my friend's favourite hobbies is actually going to the bookshop and laughing at the translated titles of mangas. (Though I can't find this book's original title anywhere for some reason??? Is it as insane originally?? I doubt that)

Okay, moving on from the title; this was amazing! When Osuke loses his home, a real estate agent appears out of nowhere, offering him a place to live. Convenient - a bit too convenient. Nevertheless, he takes the offer and finds himself with a new hot blonde roommate and turns out that ghosts are real!

(I do have to note the same thing that is mentioned at the end of a book; ghost isn't exactly the right term but there isn't really a better one to translate yokai which refers more to all kind of supernatural creatures.)

So. Real estate agency for ghosts? Love that. My mom and I actually thought about getting into the industry a few years ago when we were both unemployed. We even had fun slogan and everything. I adored seeing our dream become reality in this story.

I feel like we didn't really learn much about the characters in this one, which I am a bit disappointed about. Though, it just means I am even more excited about the next volume. Overall fun and exciting supernatural story with amazing art!

Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC!

I wanted to like this so bad. The concept is cool and the drawings are beautiful, but the writing leaves much to be desired. The cases are simple, the leads are boring, and there's nothing compelling about their dynamic. There might be romance later on, but they're just reluctant coworkers right now. The occasional funny moments are not enough to keep me reading.

I'm baffled as to why the editor decides to compare this to FANGS and The Dragon's Betrothed. I've read both and they have drastically different vibes. If anything, this series is more of a spiritual successor to The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window.
