Summary from MangaUpdates:
Kenn's Comment: The story is nice. It's simple, yet versatile and entertaining. Hanzou's funny too. His naivety and slight lack of understanding of Tokyo is funny and cute, though everything about this manga is cute. He more or less makes up the 'innocent' half of the title. The art is great, especially the character design in their various forms. Various forms being all the deformed drawings (chibi, if you must), as well as the regular character proportions. You could probably mistake this for a shoujo series, as this one sits somewhere in between. Square Enix magazines tend to have less clear cut series compared to Shounen Jump (which more or less is the XY chromosone), such as Superior. Because it'd hit well on pretty much any front, I'd recommend this to anyone.With the destiny of searching for a bride, the youkai teenage boy came to Tokyo from a small island: Hanzou. A maiden who develops a youkai-atracting constitution at 16: Ichijouji Mei. With the youkai's heaven "Tokyo" as its stage, Girl-Meets-Monster love comedy.
