Usemono Yado

I believe that there are so many great works that I haven’t read yet. Fortunately, by chance, I had found out Usemo no Yado and I could read this amazing manga. Usemo no Yado is a story about a inn where people can find lost things. The inn is managed by a mysterious Landlady who is a kind frigid with the guests but, in the end, always helps them. Moreover, what the guests tries to find is not just a lost “thing” but they try to find the deepest desire of their hearts. Various characters visits the inn during the course of the manga, eachone with their desire and their personal story. Mostly are sad stories with a deep emotional content. The art of Usemo no Yodo is really enchanting and beautiful which makes the reading even more enjoyable. To me, this manga is a fabulous work of art and it deserves that more people can read it. In the final chapters I really shivered reading, this manga touched my core deeply. <3

There will always be a time that you'll feel intoxicated with generic plots and characters that leaves no significance at all. It's like the same old thing with different versions. Usemono Yado is one of the manga that reminded me why I started liking manga. I wasn't only fascinated by its unique plot but more so how the characters reflected the struggles of discontentment and missed chances. It displays a sensation of melancholy and nostalgia that leaves you more drawn to it. The art style was beautiful and clear, the type which you can recommend to your non-manga-reader friends and they won't have a hardtime understanding it. It is clearly one of the best short story out there and I really recommend you to check it out.

Honestly man...the ending is bittersweet af. I know some people would think the 18 chapters in this story is a bit too vague to not expand much on each characters reasons on why they were transferred to the inn in the first place. However I actually really felt the story was interesting how it's based on an inn (known as the "Inn of Lost Things") where people go to find something valuable they lost before they pass away and a young landlady of the inn, didn't seem to want to remember what happened in her past life. Until she mets Matsuura who's normally the onebringing her the "annoying guests". Personally her story and the women with the teenagers story for me, were oof moments for me. You should definitely check out this touching story, it kinda has Death Parade vibes!

Usemono Yado provokes lots of deep thoughts about life and death. This manga really goes to prove that there are tons of underrated gems on MAL. It is a good manga too read if you enjoy rollercoasters of emotions. I think this was a really good manga and I'm glad it wasn't dragged out long. The mangaka clearly put a lot of thought into this manga and everything was extremely well done. The ending was so perfectly bittersweet as well. Although the art was not amazing, it still is good and does not effect the overall experience of the story. I can see myselfre-reading this manga several times in the future. I will say this is tagged as a shoujo but it definetly does not have the typical shoujo elements and I feel as though it would be enjoyed by a slightly older female or male demographic.
