Akira now manages a dorm in which tenants from another world come to stay. However, his tenants may be carrying more baggage than what's in their suitcases.

When I first saw the picture used for this story, I thought it would be a harem story, but it is not at all. This story has a compelling plot with a likable lead who isn't perfect, but tries to be. I have never been this glad to be wrong on the first assessment of a story.

It's not too experimental, or adventerous, with how it could go with going with a reverse isekai worlds collide concept, but it does the job well, and a tad bit more serious than you would expect from a japanese lightnovel counterpart.
It does take some tropes from japan manga and RPGs, but it focuses on actual semi serious issues and trauma surrounding the tenants which makes for a decent story, but like I said, it doesn't really go real indepth with exploring the societal shifts and changes that one could do with a worlds collide story. There is also some clear plot protection/story convienance that pops up a couple of times but since it doesn't immensively detract from what is supposed to be mainly a social relationships type of story I'm letting it slide, in general a 4 out of 5 stars, maybe a bit lower if I want to be strict on it just being a slice of life type story most of the time.
Overall all the characters are likeable. The grammar is pretty well done, only saw a couple of errors on my binge of it. Style is fine.
Really probably a 4 out of 5 stars, but I'm being generous with it being a rare reverse isekai and give it a overall 4.5 out of niche value.
