I know that tittle is a LOT, but this is shaping up to be a cute and promising series!

The mangaka's art style gripped me immediately -- not only is it beautiful to behold, Ozaki's characters come alive in every frame, either it's their sulky personality or cheerful demeanour, or the angst hidden underneath a curated exterior. I could simply stare at their art all day.

A beautiful paranormal queer romance manga with a brilliant artstyle and fantastic story.

If you're looking for a pageturner, with an actual new paranormal story concept, this is the epitome of it.
The characters are incredibly likeable, the pacing is well thought-out, and the action if amazing.

Highly recommend to any queer paranormal manga lovers.

A cute start to what seems like a gentle BL about monsters and living with your hot coworker. I definitely will be looking out for the second volume, and hope it continues to be lighthearted and easy-to-read as this volume.

Osuke’s rental room floods the day he moves in and he’s forced to find a new place. An opportunity too good to be true turns out to be just that. It comes with a hot roommate, Nijio, and a ghost.

Nijio’s job is to relocate ghosts, but they’re frightened of him. He needs someone to lure them in, and Osuke is perfect for that. The two team up for rather hair-raising jobs. And while they’re at it, they need to share the bed…

This was a good start to a series with great illustratios, but a bit spookier than I expected. Osuke is a fish out of water in the supernatural world and Nijio is cool and aloof. Something is building between them though. I’ll need to read more to see where this leads.

This was interesting and had good pacing. The art was great too! I would be interested in continuing the series :)

Absolutely loved the art, especially the first few pages of the book. The cover is also beautifully drawn!

The book wasn’t cringey at all, which was an initial thought I had. This goes over their relationship which develops overtime and isn’t instant. The ghost aspect was an interesting touch and done well.

I thought the ending was unique and unexpected. The characters are also beautiful and I’m rooting for them in every way!

The story follows Osuke who becomes wrapped in a real-estate youkai relocation scheme with Nijo, our cold toned exorcist and resident hottie. The volume is a bit short with only 3 chapters but sets the dynamic of the two with Osuke, a lonely naive high-school graduate trying to make it on his own, and Nijo, who has his own baggage but opens up slightly with some prodding from helpful spirits.

The youkai we meet are run of the mill, and their resolutions aren't too inventive, so I look forward to seeing how the two main characters interact in following volumes. The art-style is really well done and translation flows well.

Thank you Kodansha and NetGalley for the free eCopy.

Osuke gets flooded out of his new rental apartment on the first day and is met with the offer of a new too-good-to-be-true place by a shady-looking real estate agent. As it turns out, the conditions are basically living with a hot guy and working with him to attract and relocate ghosts and spirits.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this manga and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the art, both the color and the black and white pages. The characters have good chemistry and seeing how their relationship develops as they face literal Japanese folklore and inner ghosts should be interesting.

Recommended for fans of supernatural BL manga. If you likedThe Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, definitely check this one out.

This title is kinda ridiculous, but the manga itself is so good.
I had a lot of fun reading this, it's probably my favourite of the ones I read recently.
The premise of My Noisy Roommate reminded me of one of my favourite anime - xxxHolic (yes, I had a long break from anime and manga, so my references are from 2010s).
We have Osuke who's always drawing the attention of various yokai and Nijio who's good at repelling them, and together they work on evicting the spirits from various places.
I really liked how they tried to be empathetic and understanding towards yokai and treating violence as the last option. That created some very cute moments.
As for the characters, we don't know much about them, but since it's the first volume I don't mind it. We have enough hints to make us interested and wanting to come back for more.
The same goes for Osuke and Nijio's relationship, we can clearly see their chemistry and I cannot wait to see how their relationship progresses.
I have to admit that I read a lot of comics books (and I'm getting used to read manga again) but I don't really focus much on the art style. I can appreciate it, but I for me the plot is always more important. (that's marvel and dcs fault, their art can be so bad sometimes that you have to focus on the plot to get through) Anyway, I think the art is wonderful and pretty.

Overall, I loved this manga and will be coming back for more.

It was good. I absolutely loved the first few pages of artwork—the pinks and blues were super pretty. I wonder how they ended up printing this manga because the actual story is in black-and-white manga style but more stylized. Anyway, the art was an 11/10. This will definitely be going on my "to add" list for my print collection.

This one surprised me. I thought it would be just a quick, silly read, but I ended up really taking a liking to the plot, characters, and story.

Based on the ridiculous title and description, I thought this was going to have over-the-top cringe comedy, but it was quite toned down from what I expected, which I was thankful for.

Honestly, it was just overall very well done. I could tell a lot of thought and effort went into this. Even the chapters are called "case 1," "case 2," and so on.

I highly recommend this one if you're looking for something that's not super heavy but still has depth and, surprisingly, a few heartfelt moments. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next volume.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC copy in exchange for my honest review~

*Blog post scheduled to post on June 10th~

I've always loved stories that deal with Japanese folklore involving yokai like Natsume Yujinchou, They expose you to the culture while also weaving in a plotline that develops the relationship between the main characters so I knew I would enjoy this when I read the synopsis. Osuke and Nijio don't immediately get along; they are forced to work together to make their work of relocating ghosts go as easily as possible but this first volume was very simple and laidback with its setup. There were however little hints suggesting further development which I'm excited about.

4.5

This manga comes with such a nice but pretty unique way of people meeting each other. imagine you get fired and need a new place to stay only to become part of a ghost resettling agency.
There is so much fun and smiles and laughter within these pages.
I would definitely want to continue reading this series!

oh my goodness this was so fun!! This is exactly what I want and love to read with ghost stories! The art is gorgeous, the plotline is fun and exactly what I love to read! The characters are so cute, I already love the main character and I can't wait for the second volume how dare it end like that!!

This was such a delight to read and depending on how the series goes, it might become one of my favorite series and one I will reread a lot!

Ghostbusters but make it BL

Osuke suddenly becomes homeless thanks to his apartment flooding, but thankfully for him a real estate agent approaches him on the street with a solution. He can give him a place to stay but he has to be roommates with a seemingly cold guy named Nijiro. All seems to be going well until Osuke is thrust into a world where the supernatural are real and him and Nijiro have to team up to get rid of spirits.

This was a fantastic first volume! It immediately had my attention from the first page. Osuke is adorable and hilarious and I loved all the banter between him and Nijiro. They are complete opposites and I can’t wait to see everything that develops between them.

Will absolutely be continuing this physically!

First, let me start by saying that I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Second, I thoroughly enjoyed this manga. It has been some time since I have read one and I applied for this one because I liked the art on the cover. The dynamic between the two main characters is nice, sorta instant friendship but with undertones of a future relationship. I also enjoyed the supernatural element of this manga. While their partnership was sudden, I was not turned away by it because the writing made it make sense. This is one manga where I would seek out the next book in the series to continue reading their adventures.

Overall, the art work was great! Book one served as laying the foundation and let some hints of a future romance seep in. That may also be wishful thinking because I would love to see it. Five stars to me is perfection but this definitely gets a high 4 stars. It was a great, quick read and I definitely recommend it to those that enjoy the supernatural.

I adored this. It was really sweet and the characters likable. The art is fantastic and you can see the care take. With it in every single page. The plot is good, though a little slow probably because it’s just the first volume.

I absolutely recommend this manga.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

We got supernatural, we got hot guys that we assume will get together at some point since this is marketed as a BL title, we have fantastic character designs and all sorts of fun yokai and a yin/yang two sides of the same coin pair!

Noisy Roommate was an easy read with just some hints at characterizations of the main two as it's more a monster of the day format, but I'll be keeping up with this title to hopefully learn more about them! Honestly the art has me here!

To anyone complaining about the title, know it's just as long in JP and thank you to Kodansha for translating it where we've definitely had releases in the past of some manga keeping their whole Japanese title for no reason (it's: ノイジールームメイト ～家ナシになったのでイケメンと怪異つき物件で同居始めました～ or, Noisy Roommate: Ienashi ni Natta node Ikemen to Kaii Tsukimono Ken de Doukyo Hajimemashita).

Thank you to Kodansha and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for review!

Light-hearted manga with Japanese folklore elements (namely youkai and onmyouji). Not quite a romance yet, but probably will be at some point in the following volumes.

The artwork and character design of this manga was really nice and the story itself was sweet… Focusing on a guy called Osuke who ends up in need of a place to stay after having some financial troubles, and instead finds himself becoming roommates with Nijio who works in negotiating and exorcising youkai.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for review!

If <i>Ghostbusters</i> and <i>Jujutsu Kaisen</i> had a gay love child this would be it. Is the title obnoxiously long? Yes. But is the title funny? Also yes. But they had me at the monsters and hottie combi. <i>My Noisy roommate</i> was so much fun to read I finished it in one go. It mixes horror and humor perfectly and even throws in a pinch of heartfelt angst. Not to mention the slowburn romance really builds up the tension between the two main characters. At some point, I was reading with curled toes from giddiness because it was just too cute.

The art style was also very beautiful. All the characters were drawn so beautifully and the ghosts were drawn very scary and detailed.

Overall I enjoyed this so much and will definitely read the sequel!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me a copy.

-supernatural, mystery, fantasy
-release June 25
-vol 2 tentative release February 2025
This is an interesting, fun read; beautiful art; and the characters complement each other. It seems both Nijio and Kuroe grow closer to each other and act like a support for one another- possibly help each other grow moving forward. Some things were left unanswered but this sets up for some development later on. Thus far, it is a pretty wholesome and no spicy scenes.

After looking into when the next volume releases, it is not until 2025! There is a long period of time in between the two releases, which will more than likely mean will possibly need to reread volume one to refresh oneself.

Kuroe goes to move into his apartment to discover that it is soaked from a leaking pipe. Unfortunately, he has to find a new place to live that has cheap rent. While thinking of what he is going to do, a “real estate agent” approaches him and says he has a place for him with cheap rent. Kuroe follows this person to an apartment far better than what he was originally going to live in, but there is a small catch. The cheap rent comes with one condition…he has to live with Nijioi. Kuroe soon discovers why the offer was so appealing and soon finds himself helping Nijio relocating ghosts.
