My Noisy Roommate: The Roof Over My Head Comes With Monsters and a Hottie 1 by Kaho Ozaki

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC
The art in this comic is absolutely beautiful. The mangaka draws fantastic faces and clothing, and the yokai designs are all really cool. That said, I did struggle sometimes to figure out what exactly was happening in some panels, but not too frequently.
The first chapter very much feels like a "we gotta get the ground work down ASAP so we can get to the fun bits" kind of thing, so everything happens quickly and with not much logic. In this first volume we don't learn much about the main characters, but we see some fun interactions with them. The tone of the story also jumps between humour and some genuinely spooky scenes, which is fun. I kind of wish each case they worked on got more time instead of jumping through them so quickly, but maybe that'll happen with future volumes.
Overall, this was definitely fun, and I would love to read the 2nd volume.
