Mahoraba
Shiratori Ryushi moves into Narutaki-So, a run-down old Japanese house that looks completely out of place in modern Tokyo, so he can attend art school and pursue his dream of becoming a picture book writer. The apartment is run by Aoba Kozue, his second cousin and the building's manager—they met as kids, though he barely remembers her. She's currently a high school student. Five people call Narutaki-So home. There's Chanohata Kotomi in room 1, Kozue's best friend. Room 3 belongs to Momono Megumi, who pretty much does her own thing. Kurosaki Sayoko and her junior high daughter Asami share room 5. And in room 6 lives Haibara Yukio, who has an unusual living companion: a puppet named Johnny. Everyone here is quirky in their own way, but Kozue's the real wildcard. She's got a secret—whenever she gets shocked or startled, her entire personality does a complete 180. Shiratori has no idea what he's walking into when he arrives, ready to chase his dreams.
