After being temperamental and oblivious for the first two volumes, the 27-year-old is now officially lusting after the 17-year-old high school student living in the boarding house with him and starting to groom her for a sexual relationship. So . . . romantic?
Also, a lazy coincidence has two of the boarding house residents independently take secret jobs in the same cafe where a third resident just happens to drop in for a snack. Urf.
When I see volume 4 pop up in the library catalog in a few months, I need to remember to pass it on by.
Jesus, why did HE get an age-up but she didn’t? At least make her 18 and ending school soon instead of starting the year.
I really love the relationships in this series (except Ryo. He’s weirdly cold to Miko). I’ll keep reading since Masunaga-san isn’t inappropriate. I know it’ll happen at some point, but I like to finish the series I start.
I am freaking out! I don't remember the last time I gushed over a book ! I hope something will happen soon and that they won't drag the same plot twist on a dozen of volumes.
Der Band war irgendwie sehr schnell vorbei und hatte nur wenig zu bieten. Matsunagas Verhalten fand ich an manchen Stellen auch eher fragwürdig... aber nun gut. Ich werde die Reihe trotzdem weiter verfolgen.
Идеалното четиво в тия летни жеги. Супер много се забавлявам с тази история. Единствената ми забележка е, че трябва да чакам с месеци следващия volume в поредицата :(
Според авторката Мацунага не бил типичният романтичен герой, но да не сме се били тревожили... Тревожа се xD Обичам го именно защото определено бяга от рамките.

best volume ever so far🧡🧡🔥 I love these characters so much,They are all so adorable together🥹🧡🧡🧡 Matsunaga's face all precious and happy for his birthday party🥺🧡🧡🔥 MY BABIES 🥹🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Antes de nada, os recuerdo su trama 👉🏻 Por su situación familiar, 𝙼𝚒𝚒𝚔𝚘, una estudiante de bachillerato, comienza a vivir en una casa compartida que administra su tío, donde descubrirá lo poco acostumbrada que está a las tareas domésticas y convivirá con unos adultos un tanto peculiares 😏
Entre ellos encontramos a 𝙼𝚊𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚐𝚊, un chico con un fuerte carácter que trabaja como diseñador que, aunque en un principio espanta por completo a 𝙼𝚒𝚒𝚔𝚘, poco a poco va ganándose tanto su respeto como su interés conforme ella se va dando cuenta de cuanto la ayuda en sus problemas diarios y su día a día 🔥
👉🏻 Este tercer tomo me ha parecido flojo. La trama no avanza mucho, si bien es cierto introducen a un “nuevo” personaje que, intuyo, complicará un poquito las cosas…💥
No obstante, sigue teniendo sus puntos positivos👇🏻
🏠 Las 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴 de “shojo de toda la vida”❣️
🏠 La magnética personalidad de 𝙼𝚊𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚐𝚊 con sus altibajos de agresividad y de dulzura 😽
🏠 El dibujo, me parece una preciosidad ✍️
Es cierto que, en cuento a trama en sí, este tomo me ha parecido más flojito que el primero, pero la autora consigue crear una historia que atrapa. Estoy deseando poder continuar con su lectura y conocer a fondo a todos los personajes✨
Oh gosh... what's happening. I mean it's clearly not going to be anything wild and she's overthinking, but still...
Minus that one blip, I talked about in my updates this was a fun volume and the roommates were super involved in this one. I'm surprised Ryo got such a big part. He's one of those aloof moody boys so I wonder what's going to happen there. I kind of hope Meeko decides to keep her job even after buying the present cause I think that would be a fun thing to keep in the mix of everything else. This girl is seriously doing it all.
They are all so adorable together. I love the light hearted feels.
I'm not a big fan of the age gap subgenre, but they are generally meant to be comedic so I tend to overlook the actual ages—even though Matsunaga-san has a birthday in this volume. I appreciate the subtle and not-so-subtle care taken to address the age gap through Miko's thoughts, the way Matsu overcorrects his behavior, and how the others in the house react.
Sin duda alguna, este manga tiene de todo un poco y, más que nada, mucha comedia con romance. Amo, amo, amo, eso.
Ahora conocemos un nuevo personaje, increíblemente bello, que nos va a complicar un poquito las cosas...
Mientras tanto, Matsunaga se va animando a más cosas, a más sentimientos y, Miiko también. Los shippeo tan fuerte que debería ser ilegal. Necesito seguir leyendo xD
Okaaaaay. It's grown on me. I think I'm invested enough to continue.
RECAP: Miko gets a part time job and ends up coworkers with Ryo. Matsunaga's birthday is coming up and he's on deadline for a contest. The house comes together and prepares the roof for birthday celebration. It all goes well and ends with Matsunaga inviting her to his room.
Este Matsunaga saliendo descamisado en cada capítulo no es consciente de que tiene a Miko al borde del infarto. Se conocen un poco más de los compañeros de piso y se celebra el cumpleaños de Matsunaga
The main plot is going in circles but the interactions with the side characters is still really strong. I am also enjoying how Miko is growing as a character and becoming more independent. The art really stands out at times and captures the big moments well.
the age gap, a problem, i widh it was different cause its really not a bad slice of life at all, so it makes me sad that the BIG age gsp kinda ruins it:( i keep reading cause i got 6 of the books alrrady and i will look past it abf read the rest of the 6 i have, but i sadly dont think i will continur the series cause the age gap is a thing that is talked about quite frequently and I don't really support it so I can't out of principle keep reading past the books I have when I know this(I didn't know there was an age gap when I got them all) if they start dating and the romance does not start before she is at least 18 then it may(BIG MAY) it redeem itself but that's a hard maybe

…But the story is a bit slight. By now there's a well established rhythm to the plot. Miko moons over Jun, Jun blushes at Miko's cuteness, Miko makes a mistake, Jun bosses her around while fixing her problem, there's a contrived reason for them to be in each other's space, Jun gets drunk and confesses his feelings, Jun forgets what happened, then Miko is conflicted but returns to mooning. Each volume ends with an inappropriate tease between an adult and a high school girl that ends up not going anywhere. Rinse. Repeat. So why do I like this series so much?
As with any story told with sequential art, the art becomes key to the experience. Therefore, I shouldn't be surprised that the art captures my attention and keeps me riveted. Iwashita's charming facial expressions gives her characters depth that the story lacks. At this point, it is fairly obvious that Jun isn't going to be trying anything, so watching him squirm becomes part of the fun of the story.
I am amazed, however, at how well Iwashita differentiates age between characters. Miko's character design is closest to Asako, the nail artist, yet the two are never confused as the other, even during the roof scene where they both had a ponytail. Miko is drawn a full head shorter than most of the characters, her eyes are rounder, her head slightly bigger, her eyes are usually depicted looking upwards, her body positions are usually insecure and closed inward, and her face in a constant state of blush. Asako, by comparison, is rarely shown blushing, while her face is slightly thinner, her hair flowing long and elegant, and her mannerisms more open and confident. When the story lacked punch, I found myself flipping between pages, comparing how subtlety, yet effectively, Iwashita depicted age differences with just a few lines.
Where can this story go? I imagine we'll bide our time until Miko graduates. Their age gap is now eleven years, however. Although I can understand being attracted to a younger girl, I'm uncomfortable at times since Miko is a minor. I don't see Jun acting on his impulses, though Iwashita will tease that attraction over and over again. I wonder when the art will stop compensating for my aversion to the age difference between the two leads?
