Goodreads Synopsis:
This funny and
heartrending romantic manga set in modern Tokyo is not the fairy tale
you remember! This time, Prince Charming is a teenage janitor, and this
Sleeping Beauty’s curse is a supernatural, gender-bending dream that
threatens to pull them both into a deeper and deeper slumber…
THE UNINVITED
Despite being a scaredy-cat and crybaby, high schooler Tetsu finds himself working at the eerie estate on the hill, where Shizu–the only child of the Karasawa family–is secreted away. However, his friendship with Shizu quickly turns to fear when several spirits of the dead appear before him, borrowing her appearance. As he struggles to find the humanity in her supernatural condition, Tetsu must also face a question at once terrifying and heartbreaking: What if the true Shizu never returns?

Review:
The volume starts off a little rocky, since Tetsu has decided he's
only working for Shizu's family, not there to be her friend. But that
rather quickly falls through, because Tetsu can't help but want to
jump in to help Shizu, especially when her other sides take
over.
He gets to meet her final spirit, and this one is a bit of a party
girl, but a nice one. Though she's much more free-spirited and
carefree than Tetsu would like, especially with Shizu's body.
There's another instance where a ghost possesses Shizu in this
volume, this time a little girl. We also get some small progress on
Tetsu's life, his past and what he's doing/hiding. We're getting to
understand him a little more, as he's beginning to learn more about
Shizu. We also get some ominous news from Shizu's family.
This series is progressing really well so far, very well-rounded and
steady. I'm really enjoying it, and the more we find out, the more
intrigued I am by it. I'm excited for the next one.
