Tokimeki Mononoke Jogakkou is a yuri where the protagonist has to attend a new school, not knowing that all the students, teacher included, are youkai and she's the only human. Be ready for some GL and comedy.

Plus/minus consideration:

  • STORY: the story is quite simple. A girl has to go to a school that is actually a Mononoke Girl's Academy, an all-girls school for youkai. As you might know from japanese mythology, youkai devour humans, reason why initially the protagonist is scared she would be abused or even eaten. From that point, she decides to trust her roommates, opening the gates of GL. Considering this is supposed to be a GL romcom with "feels", I think this manga is disappointing and quite boring. There are a couple of scenes that made me laugh, but that's pretty much it. Mediocre to say the least. (--)
  • ART: the first few chapters were really bad for my standards. A particular scene comes up in mind from ch1, when the main character finds another girl beautiful: I thought that girl was horrid to be honest.. And let's not talk about the "make up" scene. I didn't like the art style at all, even though I got used to it after one volume. (--)
  • CHARACTERS: probably the best part of the manga; I like how the small portion of drama between the two main girls has been handled. My favorite character has to be the girl with an "indipendent" mouth in the nape: she made me laugh so hard (if you want to know why, just read the manga and pay attention to SFX). (+)

Overall a mediocre manga. I would've liked more comedy and even the yuri scenes were so rare I was surprised. At least the ending and the main couple have been handled nicely. Unfortunately, this is something I wouldn't recommend nor reread if I had to choose.
