Goodreads Synopsis:
On her sixteenth
birthday, orphan Himari Momochi inherits her ancestral estate that
she’s never seen. Momochi House exists on the barrier between
the human and spiritual realms, and Himari is meant to act as guardian
between the two worlds. But on the day she moves in, she finds three
handsome squatters already living in the house, and one seems to have
already taken over her role!
Review:
Himari sees what position Aoi is really in, being
stuck in the Momochi house. And she’s determined to help him, to figure out how
to get him out of it.
Aside from that development, we meet some new yokai,
Himari gets in trouble a few times, Aoi gets sick, and then we leave off with
Himari inviting over some new friends from school—a cliffhanger, because one of
them is supposedly a ghost. It seems like we might be going into that
territory, where we get episodic cases or problems, with odd-and-end yokai
introduced. I’m okay with that, though I really hope we get to know more about
the other two yokai living with Aoi. They’ve been introduced, but at this point
only have minor characteristics. I hope they get bigger parts soon.
I am enjoying this series quite a bit, and I do like
the artstyle here. I’m a fan of Shouoto, and I like the plot for this series.
Himari is a good heroine, and I think Aoi is adorable; I just want to hug him.
Overall, I’m looking forward to reading the next
one, though it’s not leaving a huge impression on me so far.
