Okay, it's starting to lose me a little. While I do like the characters, our protagonist is starting to sound a bit repetitive and it feels a bit like we're going around in circles with the romantic drama. Also, culture differences aside, I'm finding the age gap between Shimana and her landlord is starting to get a bit weird for me. Five years isn't much to scream at, but their maturity levels are vastly different...and it shows.
Well, gonna keep going and see how I feel the more things develop.
