Oyama has resigned himself to the fact that Akutsu Riko, his school’s most notorious tough girl, is staying in his apartment for good. But must she always squeeze every last half-naked inch of herself up into his personal space? And even worse, now his landlady seems intent on interfering with them. Is she trying to play matchmaker?!
It's cute but pretty much following standard Rom-Com beats; it's almost paint by numbers at this point. I was hoping for some interesting backstory with Riko Akutsu, like a really broken home life that explains why she hangs out with homeboy so much; add some depth to her character, etc. They do at least show she's not being honest with herself about her feelings, like getting jealous when her friends hit on her guy....and even jealous of the landlady's daughter when she has paranoid fears the MC might be fooling around with HER behind Riko's back. The landlady's daughter is into romcom manga and realizes she's watching one play out IRL in front of her. She even loans one of her favorite manga to Riko to read, hoping she'll make the connection...and it kinda works. But beyond those developments it's more of the same....Riko being sexy but awkward....starting to have fantasies about a life with homeboy, etc. It's not a bad manga, it's just very unremarkable. It's entertaining fluff but it's no Nagatoro or Teasing Master Takagi-san by any stretch.....it's just riding those coat-tails.
Another great volume in a really fun series. I'm usually not a fan of the tsundere tough girl genre, but all the characters here are so likable that I just want to keep reading. This volume introduces a new character that ups the entertainment value even more. Can't wait for the next volume.
