Summary:
The world is full of mysterious “things,” but life keeps on going peacefully because no one can see them–except Misao. Harada Misao has the special power to see these “things,” but she doesn’t tell anybody and tries to continue leading a happy high school life. Though she’s jealous of her friends who have boyfriends, she’s just like a normal teenage girl as she keeps having dreams about a boy she met when she was younger who has the same power as she does. Her mundane life suddenly changes when goblins try to eat her, and her old friend Kyo comes back to protect her from them. Then, she finds out that she is personally being sought out as monster food and that Kyo is a monster, too. Will she still marry him like they promised when they were children, based on her faith in him that he has no bad intentions towards her? Will she even be safe at school now that Kyo has become her new homeroom teacher? Her exciting teenage life is just about to begin.

Story: 7/10
I really thought this manga was just a silly romance manga with little to no story that I would just read in order to pass time. Well, honestly the story is actually pretty cool and unique. The supernatural aspect mixed with romance was well structured and captivating. Yes, it tends to be very sexual and kinda throws the topic of rape in there a lot, but they mix it in the story where it doesn’t seem forced (plus if there’s a guy and a girl in love, they’re most likely going to have sex and make out a lot and not just a few times like in other romance manga). If the story was more of a shounen and built on more, it really would have been very engrossing even more so and more mature (mature not only in the sense of sex and stuff).

Art: 9/10
The art was really nice and the artist rarely or ever got lazy in chapters. It was vibrant and detailed enough sort of like a shoujo and shounen manga’s art put together if you know what I mean.

Character: 8/10
I loved pretty much all of the characters in this manga, especially the main characters. Well, the female protagonist, Misao, was very annoying and whiny and cried way too much, but she redeemed herself in many ways and it’s actually hard to completely hate her because she’s like a lovable puppy (kinda like Nana Komatsu). All the important characters were built on well and all had their own background stories shown (even if it was just briefly). Every character in this series has their own funny and/or honorable trait to them that it just makes it too hard to despise them.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I do have complaints about this manga, but I really enjoyed it. It was a fun read that had quite an unexpected plot twist that keeps you on edge. It’s a manga I’m truly glad I read and has a special place on my future manga bookshelf.
