Gosh, I could die, it's so cuuuteee

[Whitney (The Cover Collector) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dude, if you have to treat your GF like she’s a child you can’t touch when you are almost thirty, then maybe you should take a hard look at your choice to date a minor! ‘Waiting’ until she’s graduated is creepy and so is sending her to bed early so the adults (which includes you) can have fun is so not how a healthy relationship works. I swear, the author put in this ridiculous age gap to cockblock the characters but it’s really unsavory and turns the ML into a predator.

Trop trop chouchou, l’histoire prend une autre tournure et avance rapidement. 👍

I know we only have 2 more volumes after this one, but I am really loving the journey of this series! It's been so lovely! The relationship took a very important step in this volume, and I am looking forward to how the next 2 volumes are going to go!

This manga has really sped up with plots and involving the whole cast of characters which is making it so much better. Ryo and his cat are still my fav. But I am enjoying Ken and Asako’s journey. God I wish I could really let go the age gap. I know it’s not a big deal in Japan but …. They seriously say shit like “grown ups” about everyone but her… like she is a child! I guess at least this is a “sweet” romance with a few inappropriate fall moments.

[Dayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was NOT expecting that to happen, but it’ll definitely make the last two volumes super interesting! Especially because of the advice one of the love interests got 👀

I’m also looking forward to seeing how this side romance forms—I just want all of them to be happy!

Also, loved the uncle being a guess start in the bonus pages lol.

Happy reading!

Continua la divertente storia dei due protagonisti, in questo volume c’è la svolta definitiva che sono curiosa di scoprire dove porterà. Continuo a trovare questa serie molto piacevole.

Добре, настроението ми се позавръща в края на този том. Все пак няма да има изневеряване на смисъла на заглавието.
Асако, дразниш ме, момиче <.< Въпреки че по принцип героите като Кен-чан не са ми първи любимци, този си е свестен. Но не, трябва да си имаме шоджо драма...

Mon avis complet : https://bloggalleane.blogspot.com/202...

A deux petits tomes de la fin de la série, j'ai hâte d'arriver au bout et malgré mon manque d'entrain pour les derniers tomes, étonnamment, je suis toujours curieuse de connaître la fin et qui sait, je terminerais peut-être la saga sur une bonne note. J'y crois moyen ceci dit x).
Je n'ai eu que très peu d'intérêt pour ce tome, même si certes il y a eu une cassure avec le précédent, honnêtement, j'en suis de plus en plus à me dire, tout ça pour ça. C'était déjà un peu le cas avec le tome 8, mais celui présent ça n'a fait que renforcer ce sentiment.

Reseña de los 10 tomos:
Nuestra protagonista Miko se ve en la necesidad de mudarse a la pensión de su tío, esto para poder continuar sus estudios sin preocupar a sus padres quienes cuidan de su abuela.
Antes de poder llegar a esta pensión se encuentra con uno de los inquilinos a quien confunde con un asaltante debido a que la sigue y su expresión facial.
Al llegar a la residencia el problema se soluciona, así es como se le presenta a los demás inquilinos, Asako -una manicurista-, Akane -una chica de pocas palabras-, Kentarou -un barista, Ryou -un estudiante de medicina y por último Matsugana- un diseñador gráfico-. Miko es la más joven de los inquilinos, es por esto que Matsugana se puede observar en la necesidad de cuidarla por sobre los demás, en especial al ser nueva en este lugar, podemos notar como ellos se vuelven cercanos debido al ser los que pasan más tiempo en casa y por el cuidado del chico. Debido a esta cercanía Miko comienza a enamorarse de Matsugana, el problema principal es la diferencia de edad, al Miko menor y Matsugana mayor, esto trae mucha inseguridad a la protagonista lo cual le impide poder confesar sus sentimientos.
Por otro lado podemos ver a nuestro protagonista masculino Matsugana quien debido a experiencias románticas del pasado se niega a ver sus sentimientos por Miko, esto cambia en cuanto aparece un segundo interés amoroso, Ryou, quien se comenzó a enamorar de Miko y se niega a soportar las lágrimas derramabas por la chica. Esta amenaza hace que Matsugana entienda sus sentimientos y de paso a una confesión, sin embargo, debido a la diferencia de edad y tiempo de vida, deciden esperar a tener una relación formal.

Poco tiempo después nos dan la noticia que Matsugana decide dejar la pensión para comenzar de una manera formal su compañía de diseño, Miko se muestra con miedo a que los sentimientos cambien debido a la distancia, pero el chico promete hacerlo funcionar a pesar de la distancia. Así comienza la vida de Miko sin vivir con Matsugana, en este tiempo podemos ver como las personas de la residencia también tienen problemas amorosos, Ryou al estar enamorado de Miko, Asako y Kentarou descubren estar enamorados el uno del otro, pero ninguno decide dar una paso más y por ultimo la hermana de Akane, siendo la nueva inquilina y aparentemente sintiendo atracción por Ryou. Fuera de los problemas dentro de la residencia podemos ver los problemas en la relación de Miko y Matsugana, esto debido a la falta de tiempo con la que ahora cuenta nuestro protagonista, esto provocando su distancia con la chica, al punto de tener que dejarla plantada para su cumpleaños y otras citas. En este tiempo quien le ayuda a no sentirse sola es Ryou, ambos se volvieron bastante cercanos al ser los únicos inquilinos antiguos que siguen en la residencia, también por los sentimientos de Ryou quien al ver a Miko decaída decide mostrar más sus sentimientos, pasar más tiempo con ella y hacerla sentir amada, sin embargo Miko a pesar de agradecer estos sentimientos y momentos su mente se encuentra únicamente en Matsugana, con estos sentimientos decide no dejar que la falta de tiempo se interponga en su relación con Mastugana.
Gracias a esta decisión podemos ver como ambos comienzan a tomar su relación de una forma más madura, ajustándose al horario del otro y no dejando que esto afecte sus sentimientos, hasta el punto en el cual por fin Miko se gradúa y puede comenzar a vivir con Matsugana.
Opinión personal:
Tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados con la historia, claramente me ha gustado como se desarrollan las historias de cada inquilino y en especial de triángulo amoroso.
La amistad y familiaridad entre los personajes/inquilinos, se me hizo demasiado lindo, considero que fue la familia encontrada para ellos, el cómo a pesar de los años pudieron mantenerse unidos y ayudando a los demás es algo que lleno mi corazón.
El final lo sentí demasiado apresurado, en unos capítulos estaban todos los problemas y el nudo de la historia, y al siguiente ya todo estaba solucionado, fuera de esto la historia me gusto, jugo con mi corazón a su manera y como quiso, en especial con el personaje de Ryou, quien sin duda en mi personaje favorito y a quien más ame en esta historia.

This was kind of a weird volume. We still have two more til the end of the series, but for some reason this is the one where Matsunaga-san gets around to moving out (starting up his own home-office space), so most of the volume is an odd compilation-farewell to him.

They didn't freak out this much when Hattori got married and moved out, and they still see her; I doubt Matsunaga-san moved that far away, either? But I guess since the title is "Living-Room Matsunaga-san" and he's no longer going to be spending all his time in the boarding house's living room, Iwashita felt like this needed to be some sort of super extended goodbye?

Some of it's nice - I liked Ryo talking about how Matsunaga-san feels like such a big brother to him, and I've always enjoyed the close friendship between Ken and Matsunaga-san, so it was cute to see how that started. (By Ken feeding feral jobless Matsunaga-san when he was still stuck in his angry, self-destructive stage.) It's also sweet that Meeko's uncle let Matsunaga-san stay in the house for free until he was able to find a new job. He's always kind of been a part of the family, in an unusual way.

But there were too many "let's flash back to memories of all the good times we had together" scenes, which felt even more unnecessary and repetitive because I've been binging this whole series over the weekend. I don't want to see a filler clip show episode! Meeko and Matsunaga-san just started dating, and there was all kinds of really great stuff in the previous volume, which made the grinding-to-a-halt in this one a lot more disappointing.

Meeko and Matsunaga-san did have a few cute moments together, but some of the other parts were either super rushed (Matsunaga-san's ex is just gonna head back to New York now, no big deal, she just blew into town to be rejected I guess) or oddly timed (the whole deal with Ken and Asako, which I was looking forward to).

And I...honestly couldn't really understand what was going on with Ken's advice to Ryo. Ryo had asked a good question - how do you make yourself shut down your feelings for someone when you know they're not helping anyone - and Ken's line was, "Being evil isn't such a bad idea, is it?"

...What? What does that mean? (And why was a half-naked Ken stroking Ryo's lower lip like that? It actually could've been interesting if Ryo had turned out to be gay, like he'd denied early on, but that would've made this a different sort of story.)

I hope there isn't going to be any weirdness with Ryo trying to take advantage of the situation now that Meeko's sad about Matsunaga-san not living with her anymore. It wouldn't be like him, and it'd create some unnecessary drama that would throw the story off course. But I suppose we'll see. I just found that scene really out of place and confusing...it almost felt like a bad translation.

So yeah, a few good moments in this one, but overall kind of disappointing, especially considering how great Volume 8 was. I hope 10 picks up again, now that we've gotten the goodbye party for Matsunaga-san out of the way. (It is super cute how excited Matsunaga-san gets about parties, even when he pretends he doesn't want them. It adds more layers of likability to him.)

[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

So incredibly sweet. I just adore this manga.

Matsunaga is leaving the house! Everyone is sad (including me). They are getting another roommate, Hattori’s sister, but that doesn’t make this any better.

Ryo, is still conflicted over his feelings. He is dreaming about her. He keeps talking to her in quiet moments. Kentaro gives him the advice to keep trying (though I’m not sure if he knows who Ryo likes)

Oh, Kentaro and Askako decide to try kissing each other, she lies and says she felt nothing, but Kentaro is honest saying it excited him, but he accepts she feels nothing for him. It’s sad, because she is denying her feelings out of fear. She’s scared because her ex-husband cheated on her.
There’s some reminiscing about Matsunaga’s presence in the house, as everyone is sad about him leaving. It’s obvious they all really love him, and don’t want him to leave, but it’s a step forward for his career, so they are supportive.

They throw him a surprise going away party, which he loves, but it’s bittersweet. They are all wearing hoodies, they say I🖤 MJ on them.

There are some really great moments in this one:

Meeko and Matsunaga go visit a shrine for New Year’s, and they run into a magazine editor who wants to hire him. Meeko goes to leave to give them some time to talk work stuff, but he grabs her hand and says, “stay here.”

Meeko asks Matsunaga if she can do anything she wants to him for 10 seconds. He says not till graduation, but she says it won’t be anything more than the kiss on the forehead. He agrees, saying, “Do want you want with me...for ten seconds, Meeko.” She then wraps her arms around his neck and holds him and says some things about wanting to be there for him. Afterward, he thanks her and then says, “that was way more than ten seconds.”

When they are in his bedroom and Meeko gives him an “air hug” saying she really wants to touch him, but she can’t. He says he feels the same way, and that he wants more. Then suddenly he’s on top of her on the bed. They are face to face, but they don’t kiss, yet it’s very intimate. Then he rolls off of her and says it’s too bad he can't transform into a high school student real quick. Then he tells her to go to bed,

When Asako says that Meeko and Matsunaga probably think of each other as brother and sister, and Kentaro tells her they are a couple, and that she couldn’t be more oblivious.

Meeko and Matsunaga go to the roof after his party and stay up till sunrise together talking and reminiscing.

Meeko sees him off alone the day he leaves, and he turns around right before he leaves and kisses her. It’s perfect. But then she immediately breaks down after he leaves, and Ryo is there to comfort her.

A few days later, Matsunaga accosts Meeko from the street and pulls her into a car. He says that they are going to his place, and then he gives her a key to his place. It says, “I want to be with you,” engraved on it. (That’s how it ends)

J'aime énormément les personnages, surtout Matsunaga, le fait qu'il soit graphiste plus ou moins en freelance, et la vie en share house qui est dépeinte. Ce sont des sujets qui me parlent personnellement et j'adore lire les histoires de ce petit univers, avec les arrivées et les départs au rythme de la progression des évènements de la vie de chacun.
J'ai un peu plus de mal avec l'héroïne et avec la récurrence des triangles amoureux, surtout que je les trouve assez légers, surtout pour celui qui implique Ryô.
Globalement, l'autrice fait très attention à ce que la relation entre l'héroïne et Matsunaga ne soit pas trop problématique donc je trouve qu'à ce niveau là c'est correct. Il me semble que Matsunaga réagit comme un adulte responsable au regard de la situation. En général je n'ai pas de problème à supporter la différence d'âge en fiction, je dirais même que c'est plutôt un sujet qui me plaît quand c'est bien abordé, cependant dans ce cas j'ai vraiment du mal à comprendre ce que Matsunaga trouve à l'héroïne, ce qui, du coup, me fait un peu grincer parfois dans ma lecture. Natsumi correspondait en tout point mieux au héros et l'autrice n'a pas réussit à me convaincre en ce qui concerne son choix... Miko est mignonne et courageuse, certes, mais ça me paraît léger comme caractéristiques pour qu'un adulte de 28 ans tombe amoureux d'une lycéenne de 17... C'est sûrement quelque chose qui m'aurait paru plus convaincant si j'avais eu l'âge de Miko et pas celui de Matsunaga :)
Malgré tout, Mon coloc' d'enfer reste une lecture super chouette à mes yeux, et je fonce trouver les tomes 10 et 11 pour compléter la série.

***Whole Series Review***

It’s not perfect by any means. There is a very large age between the Meeko and her love interest. Which isn’t bad... but she’s underage; in high school. He’s a grown adult. 

That part really messed with my head, but I tried to remember that not only was it fiction, but other cultures differ from ours and have different standards for things. So I let it go. It wasn’t like they were having sex... he barely even kissed her and told her they wouldn’t even officially together until she graduated high school. So I mean... that’s good...

Moving on!

The art is simple and beautiful! I love everything looks realistic, nothing crazy as seen in a lot Shonen manga. I like that! I always prefer more Shojo styles. They are softer and more romantic. 

This series is very slow moving between our two main characters, so to make up for this, we get little side plots between other characters that live in the boarding house and I really enjoyed these! I fell in love with these characters and it hurt when they finally moved out of the house. I felt Meeko’s pain at being left behind. 

The mangaka did such a great job at making these characters feel real and I loved Meeko got to see that even though they are all adults; they don’t have their shit together like teenagers often assume. 

This is a cute manga that hooked me. I couldn’t stop reading. I still feel that Ryo-ken deserved better than what we got, but not all endings can be happy, I guess. 

If you like manga, or are thinking about diving in, this is easy to adjust to and sweet as can be.

Menomale che mancano solo due volumi alla fine. Se penso all'entusiasmo che avevo al momento dell'annuncio, mi piange il cuore per la delusione: mi aspettavo molto, ma molto di più da questo titolo, e invece non sono proprio riuscita a farmelo piacere. Zero.
Non ho mai empatizzato con la protagonista, perché la considero una piattola. Lo stesso Matsunaga non mi ha fatto impazzire....e francamente non mi interessa nemmeno vedere l'evoluzione del rapporto tra gli altri coinquilini. L'unico che mi stava simpatico era Ryo, ma dopo un paio di scene viste in questo volume temo che il suo carattere verrà rovinato proprio sul finale. E questa cosa mi fa girare un sacco le balle.
Comunque sia, Matsunaga lascia la share house, ci sono le solite moine tra lui e Miiko, Asako e Kentaro stanno facendo strani esperimenti sentimentali, con quest'ultimo che dà proprio un bel consiglio di merda a Ryo. Ah, e dovrebbe arrivare una nuova coinquilina. Wow, entusiasmo a pacchi...
-2 alla fine, pensiamo alle cose positive che è meglio (oddio spero di arrivare in fondo e di non arenarmi a tempo indefinito come nel caso de La regina d'Egitto, dita incrociate).

Una sèrie d'amor que aconsegueix presentar una relació amb una diferència d'edat de 10 anys (17 la noia, 27 el noi) com una parella cuqui, tot i que és una premissa molt complicada si no s'aborda amb delicadesa. Potser no m'ha costat gaire d'assumir perquè l'edat mínima de consentiment a Espanya són els 16 anys i perquè l'evolució de la parella és respectuosa, lenta i versemblant (tot i que hi ha dinàmiques que no molen gaire...). Els personatges secundaris són adults, viuen tots en una casa compartida i aporten certa gràcia a la trama principal. Com que és una sèrie llarga en algun moment perceps que s'està allargant el xiclet i que hi ha drames innecessaris, però és força entretinguda de llegir. Això sí, el final és massa abrupte, es resol tot en l'últim capítol i s'omet la part de la història més interessant: quan la Miko és major d'edat i pot començar a sortir amb el Matsunaga de manera oficial. Crec que el recurs del salt en el temps està massa suat i no funciona en aquest cas: necessitem més detalls!!!! :(

I cried… ofc I cried! How can it be “living room masanaga-san” when he’s not living in the share house anymore???

Though I am very interested to see where things will go now. He gave her a key as a kind of promise, but I wonder if he’s going to be too busy now to spend much time with her and if that’ll put a strain on their relationship.

I also wonder if Hojo will move in on her. Maybe not even wigh ill intent (as Ken suggested he do), but simply bc he’s there and Masanaga isn’t. Not to mention they’re closer in age.

I also suspect that editor may make Milo jealous, even if MJ isn’t interested in her at all in that way…..

And with this, I finish my challenge of 175 books for 2021! I would have liked to try to make 200, but I suspect I’ll be “reading” via VNs for the rest of the year more or less….

Questo volume necessita di più stelle! E' stato bellisssssssimo!
Dalla scena dei 10 secondi (lo sguardo di lui è da spezzare il cuore in mille pezzi), alle piccole scene in cui finalmente si avvicinano facendosi promesse e immaginando il loro futuro, agli sviluppi da Kentaro e Asako (sisi approvo! secondo me sotto sotto Kentaro è un bravo ragazzo, gli ci vuole solo la persona giusta), fino alle scene flashback con Matsunaga-san col capello ribelle e lo sguardo da ancora più badboy! WOW!
La seconda parte ovviamente mi ha spezzato il cuore e son scoppiata a piangere assieme a Matsunaga-san...mi son commossa tantissimo.

E quell'ultima scena muta tra di loro...si autrice, distruggimi il cuore, stringilo fino a strizzarlo completamente...mannaggia a te, ora come faccio ad aspettare le prossime uscite?

Voilà un tome riche et toujours aussi plaisant à lire. Un autre élément que j’ai adoré ici sont les apparitions de l’oncle de Miko dans les petits bonus que l’on trouve en fin de chapitre. C’était très amusant.

Dans l’ensemble, Mon coloc’ d’enfer est une bonne série shôjo qui possède tous les ingrédients pour vous happer entre ses pages ! Ce neuvième volume tend à amorcer un nouveau tournant dans l’histoire et du coup, je suis plus qu’impatiente de découvrir la suite. Et bon, le graphisme reste toujours aussi beau et très agréable à regarder.

Bref. C’est encore un carton plein pour cette suite !

This series is just going downhill for me. No particular reason why, it just doesn't get me excited like it once did. Art is still gorgeous and there's a good message but the fact that this is happening while she's still in high school is wiggin me out a bit and I don't believe it's a bad much less sad thing that Matsunaga moves out. If I started a relationship someone I was living with I would immediately move out because according to Rosenfeld & Roesler (2019) and literally just universal facts, cohabitating couples have an exponentially higher divorce rate than couples that live separate before marriage soooooo I'm just sayin'...

[MAG Scrittrice · Rating 3 out of 5]

Noiosetto. Mi sono interessata di più ai due amici.
Sì c'è stata una bella scena, ma di base non mi sta piacendo l'evolversi della storia e quando Miiko ha detto a Matsunaga qualcosa tipo "Ti commuovi anche se hai quasi trent'anni?" non mi è piaciuto affatto ricordarmi che lei ne ha diciassette. L'age gap non mi dispiace, però non quando la ragazza è così giovane e c'è tanta disparità.
Sono certa, si percepisce, che il sentimento di Matsunaga non è malvagio, ma ultimamente penso parecchio ai messaggi veicolati dalle storie e soprattutto a chi legge questi racconti. Io lo so che a diciassette anni non bisogna dare corda a un trent'enne, anche le adolescenti lo capiranno?

[Sequoia Cron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matsunaga is offered a new online designer job and decides to take it. Unbeknownst to Meeko, he announces he will be leaving the boarding house and finding a new place to live with an in home office. Asako and Ken-chan decide to test a theory about their feelings, and it changes their friendship going forward.

I really liked the going away party the house threw for Matsunaga and the way the relationships are evolving in the house. I hope Asako and Ken-chan find their happiness soon and come clean on how they feel about the other. Ryo was more in the background in volume 9 but with Matsunaga leaving Meeko behind, I'm curious how Ryo will go about things.

4.5 stars

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ein durchaus emotionaler Band durch die ganzen Veränderungen. Miko unterstützt Matsunaga so gut sie kann und wir sehen auch kurz aus seiner Perspektive, wie es zu seinen Gefühlen kam. Zwischen Ken und Asako bahnt sich was an, aber ich verstehe nicht ganz, warum Asako ihn anlügt. Matsunaga beschließt arbeitsbedingt auszuziehen, weswegen ihm alle eine Abschiedsparty schmeißen. Miko versucht bis zum Ende ihm ein fröhliches Gesicht zu zeigen, was ihr bestimmt schwer gefallen ist. Ryo hat auch seine Probleme und kämpft mit seinen Gefühlen. Doch ich hoffe, mit Miko und Matsunaga wird es auch trotz der räumlichen Trennung weiterhin gut laufen.

One of the first age gap mangas I read and I love it so so so much! Not only is the main lead super cute (and totally my type lol) but he wasn’t toxic and pushy with the main girl as well. It’s a very slow paced coming of youth type romance! The main girl lives with a lot of adults but they all become her like her older siblings and it’s really nice to see all their friendships mature as well since most romance mangas tend to focus on only the main couple. Overall it’s just super duper cute and something romance lovers should read for sure!
