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.

Review to come end of June to blog/other places.

I received this one from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

This manga turned out to be even more fun than I had expected! More spooky/scary even!

Meet Osuke, a guy who just lost his home (his new home at that) and is looking for a new one. If only he knew what he signed up for, haha, when he gets an offer from a strange guy for a cheap living space that looks extra-ordinary beautiful. I am not sure if he knew what was going to come for him he would have signed up! Yes, you all see that cover, it looks like two guys are just having a great time and maybe a dash of ghosts. Well, I would prepare yourself, just like how Osuke would have liked to prepare himself for what is about to come. Because this one gets really scary at times! We don't just meet small fry ghosts, but also various youkai (like a zashiki-warashi, which was a wonderful chapter)! I loved every bit of it! I think the one that terrified me the most was the house with the red stuff and creepy things happening on the phone which escalated to a big nope.

Plus, I loved finding out what Nijio (and the strange real estate dude who is the boss of the operations) is doing and how Osuke is a perfect person for the team. Apparently Nijio (and his boss) clear out buildings of ghosts/youkai and either make them go to heaven/hell (forcibly because they are often ghosts that say no) or offer them new places to stay. And Osuke? Well, he is a magnet for ghosts, his body easily allows them to take him over. And that is perfect if you want to help (or not help if the ghost is really bad) out ghosts. Maybe not entirely perfect for Osuke, but I loved that he got more and more courage as the story continued. I guess it helps that he is slowly falling in love with Nijio + the prospect of a home + money (he does get paid for this).

The romance is not really on the surface yet, there are some small hints, and I do hope that in the next volume(s) there is more of it. I would love to see these two start to date and really work together as a team.

Oh, oh, and I need to know who those two guys were at the end! OMG!

The art was really great! I enjoyed it a lot!

Oh, if there is one thing that didn't entirely click for me, that would be that the story at times felt a bit disconnected. As if I missed panels or bits of the story.

All in all, this is one manga I need more of! Ghost Busters but now with some BL hints + real estate. I would recommend it if you are looking for a fun spooky (at times scary) manga.

Perfect for fans of Shows like Buffy, supernatural or Good Omens.

Monster of the week type storyline, where our two grumpy X sunshine protagonists "evict" ghosts and spirits and find them a new resting place.
The underlying tension and relationship between our two leading men is adorable and raw and keeps the pages turning.
It's humorous and sweet and I am desperately in need of vol. 2

👹 My Noisy Roommate: The Roof Over My Head Comes With Monsters and a Hottie 🥵
🥰 Romantic Comedy BL/Shoujo (Adults)
📚 NEW - Vol 1 coming out June 25, 2024
🙅🏻‍♀️ No Anime
.
Imagine if Scooby Doo was a BL.
Osuke’s apartment floods and he’s now homeless. He’s presented with a too-good-to-be-true opportunity to stay cheaply in a fancy condo with a hot, mysterious blonde guy as a roommate.
.
Osuke jokes to the landlord, “What’s the catch, is the place haunted or something?” 😅
.
In the middle of the night Osuke is attacked by a Yokai (supernatural spirit) and then rescued by mysterious hottie roommate. Now Osuke is being asked to become an official ghost busting partner to his aloof roommate.
.
Will holding hands while fighting ghosts and kissing each other to bring them back to life cause these two to become more than work partners?? 👀
.
This was one of my favorites that I’ve previewed this year and I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t get an anime adaptation one day. I can’t wait to make all my friends read this too. 💕👹

This was a fun story about paranormal real estate agents relocating troublesome ghosts.

The art was very nice and I was getting into the swing of their dynamics just as this volume ends. I would have liked a bit more backstory or character development but this is only the first volume. I am curious enough to continue with the series.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was such a wonderful first volume!! I absolutely adored the art style, and the plot and character work was great!

I highly recommend checking this out when it is released!!

a delightful paranormal that's a slow burn BL. I feel like volume one set up the world and a dash of building romantic tension. Wish it gave me a bit more before they ended but that's just personal preference. loved the characters and the way the artist drew the fashion throughout the book.

This is an extremely enjoyable first book of a series. I want to continue with the next one. First of all, the art in this is be! Well-detailed, beautiful men and an actual detailed environment. I also loved aspects of the story like how nicely the main characters treated the supernatural beings. It reminded me of a childhood favorite book called Dial-a-Ghost. I would love to see some of the beings they relocated and how they are navigating their new homes. I would also love to see more of the romance they are setting up. I see such potential in their relationship with their different personalities. I look forward to seeing the love interest's past come to light. This first volume is a great start!

I was immediately captivated by this book due to its striking cover and the promise of a "Ghostbusters" meets BL storyline. While the potential for a BL romance in future volumes is evident, the first book falls slightly short in this aspect. Although there are elements of pining and hand-holding, they seem more connected to the plot rather than the romantic narrative.

The characters, particularly Osuke and Nijio, are a highlight. Osuke's earnestness and Nijio's hidden warmth make for compelling reading. The story kicks off with Osuke forced to vacate his flooded apartment, leaving him in a state of uncertainty. Enter a mysterious man who offers him shelter under one condition, which Osuke hesitantly accepts. This leads to his meeting with Nijio, his new intimidating blond roommate with tattoos and piercings, whom he initially mistakes for the janitor LOL, Nijio is the condition, while Osuke finds him imitating as the start they slowly grow closer as the narrative progresses. Osuke soon realises there is more to this new apartment than meets the eye. and soon discovers it's haunted by a Yōkai, and the two of them have to work together throughout the book to help this Yōkai and others find new places to stay.

This book was captivating, and I’m giving it 80/100 and I’m eagerly awaiting the next instalment.

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I really like the art in this manga. I'm not sure why but BL manga always has the most beautiful art. The story was cute, but a little hard to follow at times. But to be honest, I'd probably continue reading despite that because the art is so pretty.

I mean… who doesn’t love ghosts and boy love? I thought this was a great start and super enjoyed the art/the storytelling style. I can’t wait to continue to see what goes on for these two! You’ll love this if you’re interested in paranormal/romance.

Osuke is having no luck navigating the trials of adulthood. He has just recently moved out on his own and the day he moves into his first apartment is the day he has to move out. Bad pipes and all. Now homeless, he meets a real estate agent that offers him a place to live for a low price. The digs are super nice but there's a catch. He has a roommate. And.....there's a catch to the catch. The place is haunted. His new roommate, Nijio, is a spirit negotiator/eviction specialist and needs Osuke's help to perform his tasks. A new friendship or scary beyond all imagination?

This is so much fun! I enjoyed this first volume. The characters are fun and interesting. The art is great. There is humor. It just doesn't take itself too seriously and I love it.

I really enjoyed this manga - the art was nice, the yokai were a nice mix of creepy and cute, and I'm enjoying the plot so far! I'm enjoying the dynamic between the two main characters - one seems a bit sheltered but wanting to mature, while the other is a bit closed off, but showing signs of wanting to open up. Very interested to see how the story develops!

The first thing that I noticed in this manga is the beautiful art style. I've been distracted many times with Nijo's handsomeness 🙈

Anyway, the story is pretty good. I did enjoy the whole paranormal plot, it was interesting, and i would say I'm eager to continue this.

The pacing is also good, I'm glad that it's not something that's rushed, and it took its time to develop the characters and the plot.

Overall, I really did enjoy this 🩷

what a cute, fun manga! i loved the forced proximity and the art style. i wish there was more development with the characters though.

Great read! I loved the interaction between the characters, the artstyle and the pacing of the story. Intriguing plot - can't wait to read more!
