 Look, I'm going to say this right here at the top: this manga felt like it was written exactly for me, with every single thing I love about this type of slice-of-life cozy story. 

Luka is a perfectly pretty prince of a vampire who discovers a bathhouse on the human realm. Curious, he magics his way there, finds out he really, really likes the bathhouse and the human running it, and decides to stay. Very simple opening and setup for what turned out to be an incredibly cute slice-of-life cozy found family story. 

Running the bathhouse is Sakura and his grandfather, and his very young brother Umenosuke. Luka's appearance is weird, but they all kind of roll with it and he says in the bathhouse, helping them run it and bring in more business. Each chapter is its own little slice-of-life story as we watch Luka grow into being part of the bathhouse's core family, and experience life in the human realm.

The art is fantastic across the board. Each main character is very distinct, and the creator is great at both beautiful characters and cute characters. 

It's all so cute. I loved it. It may not be for everyone, especially if you require plot and stakes and some tension, but if you just want something along this vein, it's a great read.
