Synopsis

Timid but hard-working high schooler Tetsu Misato takes up a job at his father's housekeeping agency, where he finds himself working at the mansion on the hill he always saw as a child. Deep in the back of the mansion lies a garden and a lone building, where the mysterious daughter of the house, Shizu Karasawa, lives in isolation.

While cleaning near the building, Tetsu chances upon the enigmatic girl, and when he returns the next day, they quickly get to know each other. Shizu reveals to him that she is confined to the building due to an unknown illness afflicting her, and that she has had no human interaction for years.

As they continue to meet, Tetsu's feelings toward Shizu develop—but when he realizes how he truly feels, he is faced with the true nature of her illness. Ohayou, Ibarahime follows Tetsu as he searches for the real Shizu underneath her supernatural condition—both for her sake and for the sake of his own feelings.

It's not really easy to find a decent shoujo manga to read that fits to our tastes, whether for male or female readers. Sometimes we just read the manga when the manga is quite popular and we've heard the good reviews about it. If you're lucky enough, you'll find a hidden gem like "Ohayou, Ibarahime" or "Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty". When you first time see the manga cover, you might think it's an average shoujo manga but ... it's not like your regular shoujo manga with a far-fetched and overly lovey-dovey story. We need something different sometimes. A sorrowful story with a realistic storytelling and ...

I already wrote a review on this on Google Play books, but let me just write another one for the manga that is seated #1 on my list.

Reading the chapters was one hell of a rollercoaster. I was swooning, then I was frustrated. I was laughing. I was reflecting. Then I was swooning again. It's not that surprising anymore that my tears were spilling.

If a manga made me show this much emotion, then it's definitely a masterpiece.

It's honestly incredible and quite unique. I thought it was just gonna be your typical high school love story, ya know? The usual clichés the shoujo genre would have. ...

Mixed Feelings

Lets call it an interesting series.

The story starts with our poor MMC trying to get a certain job. This one being a housekeeper for a rich family. This particular family is special as the main heroine is living seperatly. The reason being she is suffering from having multiple personalities but not the normal kind of mental illness. The dead actually borrow her body which in turn which makes it look like there are multiple personalities but in reality they are in fact multiple people living inside of her. The MMC then promises to find a way to bring back only her spirit.

The series honestly was ... a bit underwhelming considering the praise and people asking me to read this damn thing. Its not a bad series, in fact its quite good. Just not the performance you'd expect. One of the main problem being the classic how everything just works out near the end. Its not that there isn't any explanation but the fact that the explanation is poorly done and honestly not acceptable. Its not just the ending but also other problems and how they resolve. Everyone has the perfect solution and yet practically all of them are unsatisfying. Some get the job done. But really none of them made me go like Wow. or OMG. or really any kind of emotion. This is exclusive to the unfolding aspect because this series does have emotion. and conveys it pretty well.

The emotion itself works to great effect. Characters crying, characters running, characters smiling. A lot of these simple traits are either done comedically which make me laugh or are quite enjoyable to just silently enjoy. This is really emphasized with its characters who are so likable. Especially the main duo. I actually most of the characters in the series as a whole. Even the asshole father i wouldn't actually consider to be a badly written character. My issue with him is the generic bad guy backstory at the last second to give sympathy points. It never works. If you want to write an interesting and sympathizing villain or bad guy, read Death note. The idea of watching some take several chapters to fall into darkness is much better and understandable than just 1 chapter mess.

The romance is just fantastic. Watching the MMC fall in love, watching the FMC fall in love. Dealing with the multiple dead ass spirits. All of these connections and moments that occur are such a joy to watch. There is really no problem in regards to the romance itself. Yeah its awkward to fall in love with a chick who has 2 dudes consistently riding her of course. The feeling of being unable to do anything whilst the women you love has 2 dudes inside her. One of them being her own grandfather. Definitely weird and kind of a mess. But its really due to these Awkwardness that allows for character development of both the main characters in a fluid way. The main character being mostly interested in money for example learns to be more and more compassionate, while the anxiety driven heroine learns to be more open and accepting. I also really liked the bromance and the soccer subplot. They didn't actually show the soccer match since its not a sports manga but it did give a good job on conveying that emotion. The entire friendship aspect of this series is just beautiful.

The main issue with this series is the *reveals* They are done poorly. They are multiple *twists* in this series but like only 1 i really liked the rest either were weak or felt hollow entirely. This is a major problem as these twists are supposed to keep you reading and are supposed to keep on the edge. I was never really on the edge for majority of the series. The only twist i enjoyed was the friend one. Because like i said the series does an excellent job on the bromantic relationship between the male characters. The ending was also quite... meh.

TLDR: Good romance and bromance but weak reveals and low depth. Im very much on the edge of rating this series. It had a lot of surprising and good moments but there was just nothing there really captured me. If you are someone who is sentimental especially in regards to friendship you will like this series. Quite a lot even. But if you are looking for something with more depth in a romcom this just doesn't have it despite the fun concept in the setup. 6/10 just barely missed the cut.
