Holiday Review: KAKURIYO - BED & BREAKFEST FOR SPIRITS

Meanwhile, shojo manga was certainly...well, present.  There's still plenty of trend-chasing like what's going on with this series.

KAKURIYO: BED AND BREAKFAST FOR SPIRITS (Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi), based on the light novel by Midori Yuma and character designs by Laruha, with art by Waco Ioka.  First published in 2016 and first published in North America in 2019.




PLOT:

Aoi loved her late grandfather, but after his passing she's determined to make it on her own (despite her ability to see yokai).  One day she is seized by an ogre, and she learns the truth.  Many years ago, her grandfather promised his most spiritually-gifted grandchild as collateral for a massive debt, and now the ogre is ready to take Aoi as his bride as payment.  Aoi would rather work to pay her debt, but the only place she's able to find work is with a friendly kitsune with a failing tea room.
