(4.38/5)i'm really enjoying this, currently on volume 9
my reading speed is slow (can't do more than a volume a day even if i have all day for it). it's easy to get bored or tired when being this slow so the story being so gripping helps a lot with that, unlike reading a slice of life where not much happens i'm always looking forward to the next plot point
volume 1 is easier than the rest but the difficulty is certainly higher than anything i've read so far. still, i found it doable, i just wouldn't

This is the first manga (series) that I wanted to keep reading even after I had exhausted my Japanese reading stamina. I would be reading for hours up until my brain just can't comprehend any Japanese whatsover and needed a break, and I would sit in frustration because I want to know what happens next but my brain is spent and wouldn't let me. I think this rea
Enjoyed this manga quite a lot, very cute
Doesn't have furigana which can be seen as a pro or a con - it was definitely challenging for me, on the other hand I "learned" to approach (for me) unreadable characters (how to best look them up, how to handle, etc.)
Surely a plus for people who want to stop relying on furigana
Step-up manga from Yotsubato!
This manga features a maid's daily life with her master, who does not have a face. I feel that this is a good step up from the casual interaction in Yotsubato! since the maid often speaks formally. Despite this, these is a repeated use of vocabulary. The interactions between the maid and her master are very wholesome. Will definitely continue reading the entire series
Shadows House is a really interesting series. It starts off almost as a slice of life comedy about a servant and her master, with a little mystery and intrigue thrown in. However, as the series progresses the comedy is toned down and the mystery elements become the focus. There's a lot to love about this series, but the story and characters are really where it shines.
It's also worth mentioning that there is a full color digital version of the manga, which is what I've been reading since volume
Perfect step up from beginner manga
Furigana is minimal but the text density is light and there is a lot of repeated vocabulary. The art is cute and the story is intriguing with mystery elements. I really enjoyed it! I think this would be a great manga for working on your kanji skills while not being too difficult.
