The premise: orphaned pupil Yushi Inaba is about to begin highschool when the dorm he was going to dwell in burns down. Unable to afford wherever else he’s provided Kotobuki Manor, which seems to be a tenement group of ghosts, spirits, paranormal creatures, and a few uncommon people. Absolutely charming stuff.

Unlike Taimur, I’ve by some means by no means learn them, so I went and located all 6 of the coloured editions on Hoopla (with nice colours by Nathan Fairbairn), and I plan on making my manner by way of these over the following couple of days.
