3.8/5
One of the most appealing things about this series is that the story progresses so fast that the plot outline on the back cover only actually covers about maybe a third of what goes on within its pages. And the best part? Despite its fast pace, the plot progresses at a pace that feels natural. The story is purely character-driven, and every new character that gets introduced has something new to offer.
Case in point: two new characters are introduced: one of them is an immigrant from Southeast Asia named Freddy, whom Aya randomly finds and decides to bring to Suekichi's home 'as a gift.' He's a bit obnoxious at first, as if Yamamoto was struggling to find a reason for bringing him into the story after bringing him into the story (is he a creeper? An interloper? A thief? A foil for Suekichi?), but eventually Freddy's introductory arc ends on a surprisingly poignant note and his character grows in ways I won't spoil. The other character with a much greater impact is a girl named Miyuki Fukagawa, who may also have motives for literally crashing into Suekichi's life like Aya appears to, although her reasons are made much more obvious to the reader than whatever the hell Aya's doing. And to top it off, her appearance adds more complications to the unhealthy relationship Suekichi and Aya barely manage to maintain, and the results are pretty fascinating.
Overall though, I think the story is progressing nicely. Freddy's pretty annoying at first but luckily Yamamoto's skill as a writer made him more appealing in later chapters. Miyuki's introduction, however, may just be what the story needed. Excited to see what happens next.

Another funny character added to this charade- the drama is passable but wouldn't keep me reading whereas I can't get enough of Ikezu, Freddy and the ghost of his grandfather!
