review:
'Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? Book 1' by MAKIHIROCHI is a manga about a couple really odd real estate agents, and a guide to some of the cool neighborhoods around Tokyo.

The Shigeta Twins run a real estate agency in Kichijoji. They are in to food and heavy metal. They don't like how their neighborhood is changing. When a series of young women come in to their office looking for a place to live in Kichijoji, these odd twins take them to the hidden neighborhoods around Tokyo and seem to understand exactly what these young women need.

Each chapter includes a short travel guide of the neighborhood showing the shops and food that were visited in the story.

This was an odd manga, but I liked it. The stories had a sameness that got a bit old, but I liked seeing the different neighborhoods and getting a peak into a culture that is different. The art was decent. I wouldn't mind reading more of these stories.

I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
