Alright, can I just say that I am HEAVILY disappointed by the 6.95 score given to this manga...that is all, moving on to the review.
I absolutely love romances between ghosts and humans. Why? Well, for starters, I just like weird romances...'normal' everyday romcoms get old after a while. Secondly, there's just something about seeing a character forced to live an unlife of solitude. No one to talk to, no one to hold, it's just super sad to think about. Then when you bring along a person that can hear them, that can see them, that can touch them...it just puts a smile on my face.
So
...
what sets Iwakutsuki Bukken no Yakuro-san apart from shows like Dusk Maiden of Amnesia? Well, for starters, less fanservice and more wholesome interactions. Less tear jerking backstories and more smile inducing moments. This is the one you read when you just want to be happy.
So what exactly is this manga about? To put it simply, Rei (the main guy) is obsessed with ghosts so much to the point that he moves into a haunted house/apartment just to meet one. To his absolute thrill he ends up running into the shy and awkward Yakuro san. She tries to scare Rei away by doing ghosty things to him, but he just sucks it all up. Yakuro, being as these are NOT normal reactions in the slightest, doesn't exactly know how to handle it.
After a while, Yakuro eventually gives up trying to kick Rei out after she finally accepts that it's pointless, and the adorableness of Yakuro commences. Seeing her slowly get more comfortable and open with Rei is the real cake of this series, and the thing that will make your heart flutter. The story of a shy ghost that doesn't want to talk to people...or does she?
Now I'm gonna be real with you, is this manga for everyone? No, not at all. If you want action, look elsewhere. If you want horror, maybe the first chapter you'd enjoy, but keep looking. Do you want scientifically accurate plot points?...well, fuck man, idk. Go watch Steins Gate or somethin. BUT, if you want just a wholesome read that contains cute interactions between a human and a ghost girl...then you've come to the right place.
Cons: It's short...waaaaay too dam short. I'm still hopin and prayin that they release a volume 2, so in order to do that I need yall to start hyping this manga up! I WANT MORE!!!
At the end of the day, Iwakutsuki Bukken no Yakuro san is by far a perfect manga all around, but it's the perfect manga for me. So I hope yall will give it a chance, because it is definitely worth it :D
