Nanami has a new challenge to face!

Nanami comes home from her beach vacation, maybe not as relaxes as she would have liked, with a new familiar in tow! Tomoe is not happy that Mizuki is joining their little family but when is he ever happy? Everything seems to be going well for a change but then Nanami overhears some townspeople discussing her shrine. They called it abandoned and haunted! Tomoe works so hard keeping it clean, Nanami decides to hold a festival to show everyone that the shrine isn't abandoned! What could go wrong with a festival? Who is the strange deity hanging around the shrine?

This manga is a lovely light read. You should check it out if you enjoy supernatual romances!

Great - love this manga. Diverges from the anime

Others have given a synopsis so I'll just say I love this manga and this volume is no exception. This series is funny, romantic, and enjoyable.

One note if you are trying to buy the manga from where the anime left off (as I was), although some of this volume is in the anime, the main events are actually very different. Definitely worth getting this version, even if you've seen the anime

So happy!!!

Very content with my purchase. I have had an extremely difficult time trying to find this volume for a reasonable price over the past couple of years. The package arrived undamaged, the book in perfect condition. Thank you so much!!
As for the story, I highly recommend reading if you’re into feel-good shoujo manga. It’s a series that’s kept me on the edge of my seat since I started reading it.

Great art and story

The story is very different, but very good. Each volume has it's own little side-stories, but they are fun to read. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Japanese culture, anime/manga, the occult, or romance.

Glad to have it but…

While I am happy to finally have volume 5, my copy honestly kinda looks like somebody read it before it was sent to me. If you open it up it flops open to the middle of the manga, like somebody cracked the spine on it while reading. While I’m not totally put off by this because I’ve purchased used manga in the past, I am kinda miffed and it does make me wonder if this volume really was “new” like it said it was.

Over all I’m giving it 3 1/2 stars. If not for the questionable handling of the volume I’d give it 5 stars.
