How is that a most beautiful young woman lives in an evil mansion known for hosting unspeakable monsters? This question, sir, is not the one I will answer. Instead, I’ll answer why you should pack you bags and move into that mansion full of monsters as soon as possible.

Story 5/10

There isn’t really a story per se because Magetsukan Kitan is a succession of small episodes which are funny for the most part. So despite the fair number of chapters, there is very little progression over the course of 47 chapters. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that Magetsukan Kitan is boring. I absolutely enjoyed reading how the main character makes the acquaintance of the notorious members of this mansion in hilarious stories.

Recently I watched the movie “Never Let Me Go” directed by Mark Romanek, starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Nightley. I don’t remember why I chose this movie specifically. Maybe it was because it was suggested on the recommendation bar of a certain website. I already new the outline of the movie before watching for two reasons. First, the movie was adapted from the famous eponym novel from Kazuo Ishiguro (who later was awarded the nobel prize of literature). Though I did not read the book, I had already heard of it on radio program that dealt with philosphical analyses. The second reason why I already knew of the outline of the movie was because I had read “The Promised Neverland” which is a manga that freely adapts Ishiguro’s work.
