Honestly, this was just alright. The stories are rather interesting and I like the premise of re-housing ghosts and monsters. I wish we knew more about where they are moving them too and how they know it won't make problems in the future.
The main characters are bland at best, but honestly really started to annoy me. The entitlement and weird thought processes just didn't work for me. Unfortunately, I don't think I care enough to continue and see if he improves.

I loved getting to learn more about Japanese legends and folklore through the adventures of Osuke and Nijio. The characters were fun, the storylines were entertaining, and the brewing romance had me invested. I’m ready for Volume 2!

Fun little horror tale! The premise isn’t even as outlandish as I was expecting, haha. Sets up nicely for serialized “episodes” busting different ghosts and ghoulies. I like the mythology aspect too. I’m not doing gimme-hands for the next installment, but I wouldn’t be averse to picking one up in the future when in the mood.

I am a sucker for paranormal manga and watching as a romance slowly blooms between two people. Osuke's forced to work and live with Nijio when he loses his apartment due a water damage. He soon learns that supernatural beings are automatically drawn to him. Nijio is his opposite. His presence is too domineering and scares supernatural beings. He needs Osuke's help to relocate ghosts and other beings to new homes.

As they work together, they get to learn more about each other and slowly start to care about each other.

I can't wait to read the next volume in this series.

This was a super fun read, i enjoyed it so much i went online to find the print copy to add to my cart to buy as soon as it is released! and to find the next volume in the series as i NEED more of this manga's story in my life!

This first volume was very interesting and did a pretty good job of world building and establishing the characters and their relationship dynamics. It was easy to follow, had creepy paranormal moments as well as touching ones, and I'm actively looking forward to reading the next volume.

I was surprised by this little cute ghost story romance. When Osuke finds himself suddenly homeless he's presented with a strange, too-good-to-pass-up opportunity on an apartment. The only catch? The apartment comes with a roommate. A hot but grumpy roommate, Nijio. But beggars can't be choosers. Oh yeah, and one more thing, the apartment is haunted. And they have to get the ghost to leave.

I liked the slow organic progression of the relationship between Osuke and Nijio in this story. Way too often BL/yaoi mangas rush straight into tons of sex and explicit scenes, this one doesn't. Instead focusing on letting the characters get to know each other and how to work together. I loved that!

As they work together to relocate ghosts, kindly whenever possible, they find a kind of balance and start learning more about one another. I can't wait to read another volume!

A really cute and light read ! Found it a tad difficult to get immediately immersed in the first chapter, but the following chapters got me hooked. The pacing is enjoyable, even more so the art and concept of the story. Will be eagerly waiting for the next volume :)

This is a fun light read for people familiar with the concept of yokai ("a broad range of supernatural spirits and creatures from traditional folklore" as explained in the book's translation notes). If you're not familiar with yokai, this isn't a bad way to be introduced to that concept as used in literature. The chapters feel pretty episodic, with the a featured yokai/story arc. While the volume ends with a teaser that hints at two new characters, it has me feeling ambivalent about the second volume. The art is good, so that's another element in its favor. I'm not sure how much it's going to veer into BL territory other than said hottie and exorcism-related hand-holding.

This was cute...definitely giving BL Ghostbuster vibes. Moves quickly, but overall cute book! Would read again

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I am obsessed with this manga! Generally speaking, it takes me a couple volumes of a manga to get into a story, but this manga hooks you immediately. Told through vignettes of different jobs the two main characters complete, this story has cute moments and an interesting plot.

I was not expecting this title to be as cute as it is. It's got everything you could want. A tough looking character with a soft heart, a big softy that brings out the best in the tough character, and supernatural beings. What more could you want?

I cannot wait to read the second volume.

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.
