Description: |
Inaba Yuushi's parents died in his first year of middle school, and he moved in with his relatives. Though they did care for him, he could tell he was a burden. After he graduated, he happily prepared to move to a high school with a dormitory. Unfortunately, the dormitory burned to the ground before he could move in! Yuushi doesn't want to live with his grudging relatives, but it's rough finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money. He finally finds a room in a nice old building which seems too good to be true.
The catch is that it is a Monster House, a place where humans and supernatural creatures--ghosts, mononoke, etc.-- live together. Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she's completely unfazed by the monsters. In fact, she can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi's high school life just got much stranger than he ever bargained for! |

My bet is that since it has got an Anime it got popular enough to be licensed. Then DMCA.
Same old pattern.
In fact i just checked and it goes up to vol 4 on USA. I'm surprised it wasn't DMCA'd before.
...I'm definitely going to hell for breathing a big sigh of relief that the series was finished first.
Well, I can definitely agree that the messages get ham-fisted--especially whenever it periodically devolves into "young'ns these days don't have the proper appreciation with their damn fancy gadgets...," These sometimes get so absurd I have to just laugh them off.
The 'queer baiting' I didn't even interpret as such the first time I read this some years ago. These days I'm more, uh, well-trained, and see the fanbase appeal... but originally I just took them as being in an advanced platonic relationship, and it reads fine like that. They're not dropping out of character for fanservice shots or anything (unlike when people drop out of character suddenly to preach the author's views in unison, ahaha).
But... bland? Your idea of bland is very different from mine. I mean, it's no action flick, but...
what we do know:
Oh cool, a manga with a lot of homoerotic subtext made by some reactionary woman that hates technology and youngsters.
Heh, Furuhon-ya is John Lennon.
For some reason i cant stop thinking about GSYBE everytime i see ruriko-san lmao
Well we do know that the author too was, in fact, a woman...
The author died way back 2014
Not much information regarding his death
iinm someone did mention his death on old comment
She was in elementary school!? I thought, just like the workers, she was in high school
I think you're being a little too harsh here and taking it way out of context.
TL;DR
She's 12. Of course she wants attention. ALL kids want attention. She got mad at her parents because they didn't let her have friends over, then she fed her anger until it reached a boiling point, so then she decides to get back at them as dramatically as she can.
Some kids run away from home for attention. Kids have killed other kids just to be on TV (attention). Hell, there are middle schoolers that post nudes online or have sex just for popularity(attention). Just look at all the crazy shit people do on YouTube for views. And, yes actually, some people DO in fact kill themselves for attention.
Wait, what?!
But the novel had ended by them, hadn't it?
You know if the manga follows it right?
I have to agree with most of the comments, it was really good, them it started to have some weird perspective of older-generation-nostalgic-vibe that is quite irritating...
Also the sudden swerve in plot direction was probably due to the death of the author in 2014.
Having read all 30 chapters currently available, I'm disappointed. It started off incredibly well, the first two volumes were genuinely interesting (if slow paced), unique and had a definite direction. Afterwards, however, the author seemed to have no idea where to go with the plot: the magic book the protagonist found has some sort of role in a couple of short story arcs but in all other cases just serves as comic relief, and otherwise... well, not much is really happening. Instead, we get
Does anyone know if it gets better later on? Or is this all we can look forward to for a few more volumes?
YYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!
Its okay to say that its you who wants it, no need to project onto everyone.
I feel you man, but I don't think their particular actions or deeds are what define their relationship, but rather the deep emotional connection they have to each other. I'd like to think that just having that mentality Hase does, being there for my bros when they need it most, when they need that extra push or punch in the face is enough to qualify as being a good bro. It's not about what you do or how long you do it, it's about the genuine intentions you have when you do it. Or at least that's how I interpret it.
TL;DR There's no proof that Yuushi and Hase are actually gay, so assuming as much is fallacious and wishful thinking.
Why can't you guys just accept they're gay. What's inherently wrong with that.
I like to think of this as the bromance that every guy wants.
Not going to lie. If anyone I knew showed up at my place and payed my rent. I'd ask them to stay.
