Book Review for A-Z Title Challenge: QQ Sweeper vol #1


Book: QQ Sweeper volume #1 (chapters #1-5) by Kyousuke Motomi

Rating: 3 1/2 stars

Review:

Who knew cleaning was more than just for keeping your home tidy?

The first volume focused on new transfer student Fumi Nishioka. When she was found sleeping in the old part of campus (which was said to be haunted) she ended up meeting Kyutarou Horikita, a fellow classmate. Kyutarou isn't just a regular student he's part of a secret cleaning organization that help keep away ghostly parasites.

But there is something mysterious about Fumi because she was able to see a hidden door that allowed her to help another classmate Sakaguchi who was in need of help. However, as she traveled through the door she found herself somewhere she never thought possible, a supernatural portal that allowed her to see inside the heart of Sakaguchi. He was being tormented by a parasite. She was surprised when Kyutarou showed up, he had went there to help her but surprisingly she had to help him out. 

With that task taken care of, Fumi in need of both a job and a place to stay was offered not only a job as a housekeeper for the Horkita family but also to be Kyutarou's assistant for the cleaning organization.

There was still more work the duo had to do for Sakaguchi, they removed the parasites that were infecting him but they also needed to clean his room. Sakaguchi's problems stemmed from him being cut from the baseball team, which made it easier for the parasites to attack.

The first volume ends with a cliffhanger with the Chairman of the school possibly looking into Fumi's background to find out more about her.

This was a fun and interesting story with Fumi finding more than she bargained for when she met Kyutarou. She's also a little kooky because her goal in life is to marry a rich man but I'm hoping as the story continues she finds another goal.
