About The Author
Natsuhiko Kyogoku was born in Otaru, Hokkaido. As a novelist, he has been blending mystery, folklore, and the supernatural since The Summer of the Ubume, his debut novel. His work has influenced a generation of Japanese writers of mystery fiction. His other work available in English includes the near-future thriller Loups-Garous.

Naoko Machida is an illustrator and picture book author born in Tokyo in 1968. A two-time winner of the Japan Picture Book Award, Machida is known for her evocative, whimsical, often cat-centric artwork. Machida illustrated Fumiko Takeshita's Namae no nai neko (The Cat with No Name), which dominated Japanese picture book awards in the year of its publication with seven wins. Another notable work, Neko wa rusuban (The Cat Stays Home), has reached audiences in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Spain, and France.

Masao Higashi is a critic and scholar of horror and fantasy literature born in 1958 in Kanagawa. He served as editor-in-chief of the fantasy magazine Genso Bungaku and the ghost-story journal Yu, both of which he founded. His critical study Tono monogatari to kaidan no jidai (The Tale of Tono and the Era of Ghost Stories) won Best Critical/Biographical Work at the 64th Mystery Writers of Japan Awards.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at hello@casitamanga.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
