I've been waiting for this manga for a long time. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I wanted...which was, obviously, a haunted bookstore. There is no haunted bookstore. There is a bookstore in another world where a human girl lives with her adoptive demon-dad. She has always lived there and all the demons in the other world are generally friendly and good people, so there's nothing spooky or dark or haunting about this book whatsoever. This is a heart-warming, feel-good, found-family slice-of-life kind of manga. It's not bad, it's just not what I wanted at all.

The art is quite good and there's one other thing I love about this manga, and that is the trans demon character. Nothing is made of it when she first appears. You can tell the character design has a muscular, masculine body type, but everyone uses female pronouns for her and nothing is said about her long, feminine hairstyle or the dress she wears until near the end of the manga when a new human comes to the spirit realm and gives her a glance. She responds to his quizzical look by saying, "Cute [dress], isn't it? Clothes don't care what gender you are. Though neither do we spirits, honestly... Everyone should wear what they like!" I love her and would consider reading more of this manga just to see more of this character. The rest doesn't really interest me much, though.

There are also two short stories at the end of the manga, the written kind, not illustrated. And the second of those features the trans demon, Noname. It discussed her crush on a villain and I really enjoyed that! Maybe I'd like the light novel of this series better?
