Zusammenfassung
A new university graduate ventures into the city seeking housing and job. With his low budget, he found a ridiculously cheap place at only 9800 yen a month. After meeting the beautiful and young landlady, he immediately took the offer without further consideration. Unfortunately for him, it seems the mansion is truly a place for vampires, zombies, snow ladies werewolves, etc.
Welcome to Magetsukan Kitan, a semi-harem romance comedy with heavy ecchi that borders on hentai.

Magetsukan Kitan review
tl;dr: A manga that’s mostly a gag manga with a good amount of serious moments, but that don’t really carry forward into an actual plot.
This is mostly a gag manga in that it’s focused pretty much entirely on comedy, without any sort of overarching plot. It’s generally a bunch of small episodes having to do with random problems the monsters of Kodaira face, with the occasional flashback providing background on the monsters. Now despite there being a gag manga, there’s a surprising amount of serious aspects. The thing though, is that because there isn’t really any overarching plot, while these are interesting enough on their own, they never really amount to something more substantial and hence don't have any sort of impact, thus they don’t feel like they have much value. For example, it goes through the background of pretty much everyone, but with most it's just a flashback that doesn’t affect anything at all, and for the others where it does have an impact on the current point in the story, it’s usually just for that chapter and never brought up again. There isn’t any depth to the story or characters. They’re completely flat and don’t go anywhere beyond where they started at the beginning of the manga. They’re not bad characters, but without more to them they feel kind of boring. Regarding the relationship between the main characters, that’s the closest thing to an overarching plot thread that develops, but it’s not really built that well. Its something that’s being pushed from the beginning to the end, but it doesn’t really develop, it just stays in the same state for the vast majority of the manga until the end where it suddenly works out. That’s better than it not working out I suppose, but it isn’t all that great either. As for the comedy itself, it was decent enough, not really funny, but not bad, although a bit repetitive. The art was pretty weak even though the setting and subject matter were interesting visually. |
Magetsukan Kitan review
So, Magetsukan kitan, a "little house of horrors" (make that a big house actually) that strives to show you that not all monsters are, well, monstrous but are actually trying to survive any way they can.
The main character is a basic protagonist (nice guy, not particularly muscular or good looking, you know, the usual harem-style MC) who's just moved to the city in search of a job, but to do so, he also needs somewhere to stay. Sadly, he doesn't have tons of cash and all the offers he finds at the estate agent's are out of his budget. Except for one, a room for 9000 yen. It seems like a good deal but the room is actually in a monster mansion. So he goes there, falls in love with the landlady, freaks out, tries to leave then stays for good when he realizes than these monsters aren't out to get him. A sort of slice of life ensues. The story is fun, if you like slice of life's with a horror/dark fantasy twist to them, there is a certain amount of ecchi (which gets near borderline at a couple points) and all the characters have their little quirks and backstories and are very enjoyable. The art is good, possibly a bit rough 'round the edges here and there, but nothing that would stop the reader from enjoying him(or her)self. If I had to compare this manga to anything else, I'd say it would be close to Love Hina, with a touch of Rosario+Vampire's early days. Either way, if you're looking for something nice, with a bit of fantasy and harem action, you should read this series. The only problem I have with this series is the fact that you can only find scans up to chapter 37 on most manga reader sites, so if anyone knows where the whole series can be found, the info would be very welcome ^^ *Quick edit: I have found the last ten chapters and have succeeded in finishing it after a long hiatus. The ending is rather good, nothing too memorable but still happy after a ( slightly forced in my opinion ) climax which includes a rather weird character. Still fully enjoyed it, but damn I'd forgotten how ecchi this could get* |
