Mixed Feelings
I watched the anime first then read the manga since the 11 episodes was not enough and I wanted more. After finishing the manga, I can confirm the manga version is the superior version. I was really surprised seeing how much the anime diverted from the manga which is a complete shame. The story made a lot more sense in the manga than what the anime did.

The first half of the manga was done well, Really love the relationships and dynamic of Tsukimi, the amars, and Kurapyon. The second half was ok but the story and pacing got a strange. It seemed like the author did not know what to do with the story so she focused a bit on the new characters that were introduced. It's probably just me but I didn't care at all for these new characters they were just padding and used for conflict. It didn't help that the author utilize these characters at all for the last couple chapters since they appeared and somehow everything is ok.

The ending was pretty rushed since everything concluded in the two chapters. I personally enjoyed it since the story felt like itself again at the end but it would have been nice if the author gave it a couple more chapters since the pacing was really strange near the end.

I also wished the author focused a bit more on the side characters that were already there like the amars and the landmark developer lady, maybe add Tsukimi's dad into the picture or one of the other Amars' parents. It would have been interesting to see how the parents think of their daughters in this situation since they are the ones providing the allowance for their kid. It would have been interesting if the author explored more on the backstories of the characters and why they became otakus like the afro amars or the kimono amars.

Overall, I give Kuragehime a 7.5/10. Manga is pretty solid for the most part. I enjoyed reading it except for the second half and really love most of the characters especially Kurapyon's brother. I'm so proud of my 30 year old boy. It was also pretty nice to see a female neet as a protagonist since there's barely any stories with female neets
