Spirits & Cat Ears, Vol. 5

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY MAY 15, 2017

Neneko Iizuna is starting a new life as a priestess-in-training after years of being a shut-in. Unfortunately, she's crippled by anxieties and still possessed by a spirit that gave her cat ears. Worst of all, the "clinic" she's going to live and work at is staffed by eccentric stereotypes, each more magically powerful and odd than the last. With the help of her familiar, a man named Shichikage, she may just survive her K-12. Far beyond fan service, this book is little more than an excuse to draw 15-year-olds that look like 8-year-olds in revealing situations and positions to what even longtime manga readers will feel is a completely inexcusable and irresponsible degree. The story could have been interesting if it were a drama, but as it is, the book feels more like a dating sim, and would have been better off as one.
