I really liked this! This was a really fun start to a manga centering a world where different types of "mythfolk" (werewolves, vampires, etc.) exist and were only revealed to humans pretty recently. I thought the main characters were interesting and funny and I liked the art. I can see a lot of teens really enjoying this, especially any paranormal and/or romance lovers. Thank you to VIZ and NetGalley for the ARC!

Wow. I loved this. My favorite thing that Miyu did was the way her tail was always tied down to her leg because of the stupid school uniforms and then, during the softball game, she just cut a hole in her shorts. Brilliant. Can't wait for Vol 2.

Thank you @NetGalley and @VIZMedia for the ARC. This a great start to a new Manga series that brings humans and Myth Folk together in a school environment. Yutaka is a human boy at a new school and is always worried what others are thinking about him. When he meets Tsumiki, girl werewolf, he can not believe that she wants to be his friend. As we see these two very different kids become friends, there maybe some bumps ahead. A fun read.

As a middle school librarian, I am always looking for manga I can put in the hands of middle grade kids. This is perfect for my students. It is fun and deals in coming-of-age and acceptance of both yourself and others. I truly enjoyed my time in this world and am ready for the next installment. Great job, creating a manga that caters to my middle graders. They are a tough crowd to please.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
Tsumiki Ogami is a werewolf. Not joking. She really is.
This story shows the life of Tsumiki Ogami from the point of view of Yutaka Shinso, a boy who decided to go to a private school far from his home to avoid awkward social situations with his friends. Though, there are a mostly Mythfolk going to this school.
Hijinks follow as Tsumiki forces Yutaka to be her friend.

Please release more middle-grade manga. These books are perfect for kids just entering a new stage in their life and might feel like an outsider. The art style is young and silly. I whipped through this because it was fun, I want to see more manga like this!

Thanks to Viz Media and NetGalley for an ARC of this manga!
It's a slice of life manga that takes place in a high school. The world in which the story takes place, is home to humans and "myth folk." The story focuses on the high school life of the human male main character Yutaka Shinso, his new friend the werewolf female main character Tsumiki Ogami, and their various other classmates.
This volume is a solid start to the series. My main complaint is that compared to the main characters, the side characters are very bland. However, since this is volume one, I assume that the audience will get more details about them later.
In terms of the art, I believe that the style works very well with the story.
I'd recommend this manga to anyone who wants a cute slice of life, school life, and/or friendship story.

Tsumiki Ogami’s Not So Ordinary Life Volume 1 has adorable artwork, budding romance, and slice-of-life storytelling of monster girls.

This manga takes place in a world where mythical creatures were confirmed to exist in the not-so-distant past. Now, mythfolk live amongst normal humans, slowly acclimating to life co-existing. Yutaka, our main character, is a human who has joined a school that is populated with both humans and mythfolk, in hopes of changing old habits and making new friends. In comes Tsumiki, a mythfolk girl who is a werewolf! This is a fun slice-of-life that shows two different people with different challenges learning how to grow together as separately. I enjoyed Tsumiki's easygoing attitude, she steals the show in this manga and it makes sense that it would be named after her after reading. The supporting cast is endearing and funny, I'm excited to see their characters develop more in future volumes. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a lighthearted slice-of-life manga.

Very cute! I like the premise a lot and I love the characters. I ended up liking Senga a lot more than I thought I would! The art style is cute and the slice-of-life style plot is heartwarming.
Thank you to Miyu Morishita, VIZ Media and Netgalley for the ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley & VIZ Media for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
What a fun story! I like the worldbuilding with the "myths" or "mythological creatures" that are regular students at school. It's weirdly cozy and relaxing with how mundane the myth kids are.
Tsumiki is great and I vastly prefer her over the boring protagonist but he's just there for exposition, ha. I also like the vampire kid too.

Cute slice of teen life, with all the things- school, relationships, siblings, were-wolves, vampires, invisibility... looking forward to further volumes...

I was impressed with how different this title was. Mythical beings as the other has been the subject of a few anime and manga I'm fond of. This title is wonderfully chill about the whole matter. Tsumiki is a cute, fun character who rolls with her differences. Her relationship with her more awkward human classmate is a fun change of pace, because he's more worried about being othered than she is. I also like the little glimpses into wolf-folk society. There's a vampire with a lot of fun potential in the mix, too!
