Another series from the creator of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Mononoke Sharing is about one regular girl sharing a living space with five demon girls as roommates. It's quite similar in some ways to Miss Kobayashi, but this one is MUCH more sexualised, and it can either be off-putting or really entertaining depending on how you like those things. I personally found it quite funny and sweet, and the sexy stuff didn't bother me that much. The roommate dynamic is really entertaining and brings with it a lot of comedy and weird shenanigans. It doesn't really have a dramatic angle like in Kobayashi, it's all pure slapstick comedy and boobs. So yeah, fun book, and any Miss Kobayashi fan would probably want to check it out!

Well well well that was super freaking interesting haha this is a manga that I ultimately picked up randomly from my library. I didn't know much about it. In fact, I had never heard of it. Let's just say that I was pleasantly surprised. Warning! There is A LOT of nudity in this series and sex is frequently mentioned and/or discussed. It didn't bother me; however, I thought I would mention that because it was a surprise to me when I decided to pick it up.
What did I like
*The panel work was phenomenal. I love manga series that keep their panels clean and do not feel as cluttered. The art was also amazing and I love how each of the 5 demons were depicted.
*The characters are fucking hilarious! They each have quirks about them that have a tendency to annoy the main character; however, I think that she grows to appreciate how different they are from each other. I also enjoy how the manga focuses on the main character becoming comfortable with herself. For example, prior to meeting her roommates she spent a lot of time alone; however, I think that she is becoming more social and wants to explore her town more because of her roommates.
*I think that there is the possibility of an LGBT romance and I'm totally shipping it! I can't wait to see if it is going to develop in future volumes.
What Didn't Work
*There really isn't really a plot in this story. It's almost like a short compilation of stories related to each character. I'm hoping that in the second volume there is more content related to a well-defined plot.
*The thought/speech bubbles were really hard to follow at some points. I couldn't tell who was saying what.
Overall, I'm glad that I picked this one up and I'm super super excited to continue reading it (although there is no well in hell that I needed to start another series haha)

What do you get when a normal person goes to live with 5 youkai girls? Indeed chaos, lots of hilarity, and boobs. Lots of boobs.
I read this one 2 years ago, and decided it was high time for a re-read now that this manga is out in English officially. Thank you Seven Seas for licensing this wonderful Coolkyoushinja manga! <3
The manga first starts when Yata is already settled in. She has to do tons as the youkai girls clearly don't get some of the basic things. Like that maybe putting in used condoms in trash is a no-no if you put them on full display (and no, not even when you licked them clean, eww btw) or that going outside with just your long neck is not the way to take out trash (and no, you cannot do that at night either).
Then the manga switches back to how Yata began living with these youkai girls. How she was looking for a cheap place near her school. You can imagine that her first reaction is to NOPE her way out of there, but then she sees the advantages (like that she doesn't have to worry they may be scared of her eyes. Yes, she has the scary eyes syndrome so many other manga characters have.) and so begins Yata's life with the youkai girls.
From then on we see her try to understand the youkai girls, gets jealous because they have giant boobs (girl, believe me, you don't want such giant boobs, think of your poor back), go on a date with the snow girl, Yuki (I am so shipping these two together), we find out more about the youkai girls themselves (my favourite would be Youko), there is a battle for the one bath, and then there is a lot more. It is one fun ride and you will be laughing and wishing you could also be friends with these youkai girls.
But of course the youkai girls also worry about their new friend, and I just loved how much they made her feel welcome, how they tried to make her smile. How they tried to make her feel less lonely (as they noticed she was that).
I do have to say that it was a shame that, when the girls are further away, they become stick figures. Other than that, no complaints about the art from me. Oh no. I love Coolkyoushinja's art. And yes, maybe also because of the boobs. :P
All in all, one very fun volume and I will definitely be getting the next volume when it comes out. I need more of this manga and see what kind of antics and sexy stuff is going to happen next. Definitely recommended.

I could do without all the boob humor, but this is a cute series regardless!

Apparently I bought this a little over a year ago, and just had it sitting with a box with some other manga this whole time, not touching it until now because of a mixture of a) people posting Ilulu from Maid Dragon S and b) the discovery that the English release is out of print and trickier to find. So, in my pursuit of more big fat cartoon titties, I had to buy volumes 2 through 4 for the cheapest price I could get (actually a little less than MSRP, which was nice), meaning as well that I had to hurry and read Volume 1 to justify the purchase....
Mononoke Sharing is a manga by coolkyousinnjya, which means it's a manga about big boobs doing big boob things. Agh!... I mean, it's a manga about cute girls doing big boob things. Fuck!... I mean it's a manga about girls hanging out... with their big boobs hanging also (close enough...).
Eh... Anyway... the basic premise is very close to Maid Dragon, with flat-chested Yata acting in the straight-man role among a group of well-endowed monster-girls. In this case, rather than dragons, the girls are different yōkai/ayakashi/mononoke. Another minor difference is that all of them are chesty girls, with no males (e.g. no Fafnir stand-in) and no underdeveloped "child" characters (e.g. Kanna). The latter is especially notable, as I understand part of the Western fandom for Maid Dragon has a Puritan meme about not "lewding" Kanna, which is not an issue here, unless you want to nitpick about Yuki being a JK (the other mononoke are all JDs, though).
Mizuchi is a kappa, Momi is a "devil" (I assume she's supposed to be a blue oni, but Seven Seas translated to a generic name), Yooko is a kitsune, Kuro (whose name is incorrectly written as "Roku" on the back cover...) is a rokurokubi, and Yuki is a yuki-onna. Momi has the biggest boobs by far. Yooko and Mizuchi are close together, holding second and third place, but I can't tell who is which. Yuki and Kuro are in fourth and fifth place. Mizuchi is seen to have webbed hands and gills on her neck, but it's unclear after Yata first notices, and otherwise she remains the most "human" of the mononoke (it's suggested her hair is a wig covering the dish on her head). Kuro is mostly only non-human by the fact that she's almost always stretching her neck to show the audience that she's a rokurokubi - otherwise, she has different eye shape to make her look wackier. Yuki is kinda cheating, since she basically just has white hair and eyelashes, making her stand out, but is seemingly otherwise a "normal"-looking girl. Yooko apparently cannot use magic to hide her ears or tail, making her one of the "least" humanoid. Momi can snap off her horns (they grow back), but generally does not, on top of having blue hair and gigantomastia. Mizuchi is like the "mom" of the group, cleaning up after everyone, but she's prone to joking about murdering humans for their shirikodama. Momi is slovenly and doesn't do too much beyond joke about lactation (she's also the only girl not to get a focal chapter in this volume). Yooko's main gimmick is that she's slutty, including joking about trying to "clean" used condoms by licking them... in the very first chapter(!). Kuro is into manzai and wants Yata to be her tsukkomi, but everyone cringes at her "neck" puns. Yuki is basically just a lipstick-lesbian with a crush on Yata that borders slightly on obsessive jealousy (she likes Yata because Yata was the only person to hold her hand despite the cold of her ice-power, which is cute and kinda touching, but quickly discarded in favor of simple jokes).
The manga is composed of eleven short chapters with sparse continuity, working as slice-of-life comedy for the purpose of a simple/relaxing read. I wouldn't say it's quite iyashikei, as there's nothing "healing" about my raw, blistery dick after all the drawings of heavy fat BOOBA and thick hips (I didn't actually wank to this, but that's not gonna stop me from pretending I did for a joke!). Cool's afterword jokes about the premise being pitched to him by Kodansha as just cute girls hanging out in loungewear, which he developed into "big boobed girls (one's flat-chested) that are roommates [...] In loouungeweaaaaar...!!!"; like most of cool's manga, he just wants to make comfy stories with big boobs.
One thing that bothers me about Seven Seas's localization is that Yuki is referred to simply as a "snow woman," translating "yuki-onna" seemingly to avoid redundancy between her name and her race, when I feel like I've only ever otherwise seen yuki-onna referred to by the Japanese name rather than translating. "Kappa" and "rokurokubi" are left as-is, meaning Seven Seas must have been too lazy to force parallels with generic English terms for the mononoke - "kappa" are probably well-known enough in the West by now, but rokurokubi aren't. One thing that bothers me more is the small handful of pop-culture references that seem more like they're pandering to an American realm of knowledge, e.g. not using the word "manzai" to describe Kuro's comedy and instead comparing it to Last Comic Standing (and, further, citing the show as having been cancelled, which happened two or three times in America, though I suppose it's possible there was a Japanese version that could have been cancelled as well, allowing the joke to work regardless, but I assume that's not quite the case...).
Unless I'm misremembering from what few Maid Dragon volumes I've read, and/or unless early volumes of that series are more chaste than later ones, Mononoke Sharing also has the benefit of including nipples on the boobs. More than that, there's far more explicit content than I expected (having not yet read cool's Chichi Chichi, which I assume is naughtier...): Yooko is seen "cowgirl" riding a ghost, with tits flopping from the motion, and later Yooko and Momi are seen with what appears to be jizz on their boobs (having presumably tit-jobbed two lads with such force that they passed out and reverted to children...). It's odd that this manga thus received a mere "older teen" rating when Seven Seas doles out "mature" ratings to actual Weekly Shōnen Jump manga sometimes....
I liked the omake pages at the end, with big drawings of Momi and Yooko and their biiiiiiiiiig boobs. I hope future volumes have similar pieces for the other girls, as Mizuchi is my second-favorite so far, after Momi (who I like primarily for her personality, and not simply because I'm pretty sure she out-boobs Lucoa and Ilulu, though obviously I don't mind that she's the bustiest...).

It may be all women in this manga but this one written for the male gaze (aka gratuitous breast pics/plots)

Holy boobage. But it was funny.
