This was such a fun manga! The writing and the art are both gorgeous. It took me in for a ride full of ghosts, entities, and a lot of tension between the two main characters. Osuke is definitely my favorite for being more human, whereas Nijio is more of a slightly worked cliché. I admit it didn't impress me, or surprise me, but I was still expecting something different.
What I liked the most was that there were still some original elements for me along with the dynamic between these two. The story is quite simple, yet catches your attention from the beginning, mostly because of the art. However, the script becomes much more solid after a few pages, shining on its own. Maybe not spectacular, but a good start for what could be a great story!
There were times when I felt everything was very idealized and unreal. This is obviously a fantasy story, but one of the most important aspects for me is that the characters are believable, that they seem real even though they're just in the paper. Osuke's choices and behaviors took me out of the reading because of this. He kept doing things that the creator wanted him to do, not because he had to do them.
In short, a funny, cute reading about two opposites with the potential for more. It didn't have a strong start, but it was solid enough to hook me up and charm me with the development. I'm eager to learn more about their world, their magic, and what happens with Osuke!
