(Towards the end of this review I talk (rage) about the ending of this manga – it´s marked as ***SPOILER and SPOILER END***)

Don´t be fooled by interesting premise of this manga as it´s only relevant for the first seven or so chapters. After that, it becomes most boring shoujo ever with all the overused tropes and misunderstandings you can think of. Boring monologues about feelings? Check. Spending night in a deserted cabin while their clothes dry? Check. Troubled past that slows down their relationship? Check. There are only very few classical shoujo tropes that are not present in this manga (probably because it has only ... 39 chapters). Anyway:

Story - 3
What story? There is none. Original premise serves just to give characters reason to interact with each other and for princess and one of the thieves to fall in love.

Art - 8
Good art. Nothing special about it, but the art looks neat and modern.

Characters - 2
So there are three main characters and few important side characters in this manga, but honestly most of them are extremely bland.
Princess starts as interesting main female character. At the start of the manga she is brave, smart and skilled in combat, but as the story progresses she becomes a damsel in distress that needs saving all the time.
Luca (thief that falls in love with princess) is boring. He has dark and troubled past (of course). And even though at the beginning princess defeats him in combat very fast, for the rest of the series he keeps saving and protecting her.
Other thief (Sylvain) who is friend of the male MC and is there to be mysterious. Also has dark and troubled past.
Japanese loli who is in love with Sylvain and is there to be cute. She also has healing magic that is never used for anything.
Princess´s fiancé who is there to be love rival.

Enjoyment - 4
I finished reading worse manga than this one, but this felt like such a waste of time.

Also about the ending (***SPOILER). It´s absolutely stupid. Not that I´m not happy that they ended together, but I hated when princess renounced her royal status and nobody tried to stop her. Even her family was okay with it (which doesn´t make sense). Also apparently you don´t need to eat or anything and you can live from love. Like darn, I have finished manga with bad endings, but they sometimes almost made sense. This hot piece of garbage? Nope. You don´t need money or anything, you just need love and you will be happy forever. Anyway, SPOILER END***

Overall - 4
Read something better. Tons of fantasy and romance manga are better than this. Almost all of them make more sense than this one.

Have you been feeling tired lately? Are you looking for something easy on the brain? Perhaps some shoujo manga with cute or hot boys? In that case The maid at my house might be the right thing for you!
The maid at my house is a pretty short manga (3 - 4 hours) about Mary Sue maid and tsundere actor. The manga has shoujo and romance genres so even though both protagonist are adults, they behave like 15 year olds. The story is just a basic shoujo romance in a showbiz setting. Art is nice and two main guys are hot.
You will enjoy this manga ... if you like: romance, hot boys, showbiz setting, shoujo, hot boys and so on. That´s it.

So, since this lovely manga doesn ´t have any reviews I will do my best to write one. This manga deserves it. So I will start with the most important question of all: Is this manga worth reading? To which I can only answer:Yes it is, but it's not manga for everybody. While this manga has lovely art style and cute looking characters it´s actually quite dark. It also is kinda hard to describe (at least for me), but I will try my best:
Story - It's about a girl carrying a coffin (Kuro) and her bat companion (Sen) who are travelling around in search for ... a certain witch. Very soon they encounter two catgirls - Nijuku and Sanju who join them on their journey. The story itself is mostly episodic. It's about what they experience on their journey, all the characters they meet and such.
Characters - This is a tough one. I'm not saying that they are unlikable. They are just kind of hard to describe. Especially Kuro herself. Sen likes to drink alcohol and chase pretty women. Nijuku and Sanju are naive and curious, for the most part. Kuro is a bit of a mystery.
Art syle - I loved it (How should you rate an art? Just check it for yourself and see if you like it.)
Enjoyment - I enjoyed it for the most part, though there were times when I had to take break from it for few days, because it was way too dark. Overall I liked it very much. It even had an appropriate ending.
So yeah, I recommend this manga for all those that like dark stories.

I found this manga today and since it´s description is really vague I decided to write a review. So even though this manga has now 187 chapters it´s actually very quick read since one chapter equals one page.

This manga belongs to comedy, supernatural and horror genre (which is very light so even a scaredy cat like me is fine reading this). It definitely isn´t a slice of life as MAL states, since it´s about titular Creepy cat that is definitely not a cat. Or at least not a normal one. So if you are looking for sloce of life I suggest looking somewhere else. ...

The story is mainly episodic though it usually lasts longer than one chapter. It´s about slightly dense girl Flora that moves to an old scary looking house where the Creepy cat lives and their life together. As I mentioned before Creepy cat is definitely not your normal cat since it can for example stretch indefinitely, multiply into more cats or grow big. And when I say big I mean like an adult horse big.

When it comes to characters we have the Creepy cat that is a huge question mark (sometimes literally huge, lol), slightly dense but somehow lovable Flora, Oscar (police officer that fell in love with her a thus has to deal with antics of Creepy cat) and Hime (a kitten found by Flora that is also not a normal cat). There are also other characters like supernatural creatures investigation people, police cat Kokoro and police office staff but we still don´t know much about them.

I really like the art since it´s very different and it has slight Adams family vibes. It´s also in full color though main colors are black and red. Since i read a lot of manga, it is such a nice change of pace for me.

Overall I enjoy reading this manga, though it is not a masterpiece, it is still a very decent read. I´m eagerly awaiting new chapters so I can continue reading this manga. I would recommend it to people who like cats, supernatural, supernatural cats, supernatural creep cats and so on. Thanks for reading this rambling review of mine and I hope you will enjoy the manga.

This manga isn´t very popular, and I totally understand why. If you find this manga by chance or if it is recommended by MAL (as it was to me), don´t waste your time, read something else. Anything else. So here goes my review:

Story - 3
There really isn´t much story apart from what is in the MAL synopsis. And yes I know it´s short, but I red even shorter stories that had some sort of substance. This manga is not one of them. Girl meets hot wolf guy and sleeps with him. In the three remaining chapters they take turns being jealous of each other. That´s ... it.
Believe it or not, one shot is even worse. Pathetic girl with no self-esteem whatsoever clings to random boring vampire.

Art - 5
I´m no expert on art (also I´m no expert on any other topic, but hey), it was okay for 2000-ish manga I suppose. Not really my style, but okay, I guess.

Characters - 3
Just awful. Blank slate main girl with no personality whose only role is being a damsel in distress. Wolf guy who is borderline forcing her to sleep with him because she is too pathetic to resist. In one shot girl who has no self-esteem whatsoever and is overall very pathetic. Boring vampire.
Side characters are very unimportant and all look the same.

Enjoyment - 4
I red worst things but not by much. I suppose it´s better that working (which is the only reason I actually finished it).

Overall - 4
Why does this thing have sequels?
Anyway, I would recommend finding something better to read than this.

Fushigi Neko no Kyuu-chan is a 4-koma manga about a guy living with his cat that doesn´t behave like any normal cat (more like a dog, really). This cat is extremely grateful that the dude gave him home and tries to do everything he can for the guy. That is the whole manga basically. And that´s not a bad thing because this is one of those cutesy feel good mangas.

There is really not much going on when it comes to story. Characters live their daily lives, cat does something cute, end of chapter. I mean worst thing that happens over there is rain. So if ... you want something with actual story I suggest looking elsewhere.

Art is very basic, with cutesy colors (mainly pink). When it comes to characters there are two main - guy and cat Kyuu, and some recurring that are not very important.

When it comes to enjoyment, I think this is fine manga. It´s not awfully intricate, doesn´t have complicated story so it´s one of those mangas that you can relax by reading them. Like a nice cup of tea after hard day. My main problem with it is that it´s overly sweet. Like a cup of tea that you dump like a half a bowl of sugar. It´s still nice, but you just can´t drink much of it in one go.
