Severely allergic to felines, Yuuto Amakawa spends his mornings nursing a drippy nose courtesy of his friend Rinko’s cat. But on his sixteenth birthday, it’s not just Rinko’s pet that’s riling up his allergies (to say nothing of his hormones)! Appearing before him is Himari, a buxom, sword-wielding cat spirit in human guise, who has sworn to protect Yuuto, now the target of vengeful spirits! It’s clear that Yuuto’s allergies are the least of his problems — he’s gonna need Himari’s help if he wants to live to see his seventeenth birthday! (Source: Yen Press)

Read the full take

Yuuto is severely allergic to cats, and his mornings are spent with a runny nose from his friend's pet. On his sixteenth birthday, though, the trouble is bigger than a cat. The premise is a supernatural romcom that starts with a sneezing boy and quickly becomes a crowded household of strange new guests.The strength is the energy. The comedy is brisk, and the supernatural elements give the romance a playful spin. The cast is lively, and the story moves quickly from one scene to the next.The weaknesses are clear. The fanservice is frequent and sometimes gets in the way of the story. The setup follows a common pattern for the genre, and readers may find it familiar.Recommended for fans of supernatural romcoms who enjoy a crowded cast. Expect a lively, slightly cheeky read that is best taken in good humour.
