I LOVED this!
Is there anything groundbreaking about this story? No, as it feels more simple and easygoing, but that's exactly why I DO love it. It reminded me that you don't need some super deep story for a story to be engaging and enjoyable because I truly had a blast reading this!
I deeply deeply loved Moemi! I love how naive she is and that people tell her it's one of her charms because I feel I was told I was naive growing up and it was considered a bad thing. So I loved seeing her just be herself and have her over-the-top reactions to things around her. She's a wonderful shoujo heroine!
And our male lead is wonderful as well! I have really enjoyed seeing things Moemi says about him because it feels so down to Earth when she is talking about why she likes him and it's all things related to what she's seen at their house. I would also say he is extremely respectful and I love how friendly he is! I think it's always nice to have more of a friends-to-lovers kind of romance than a romance starting from physical attraction.
The art was super fun and I enjoyed so much of the humor! I'm definitely getting the next volume with how fun of a time I had reading this first volume!

If you jettisoned the stale jokes and unfortunate character choices from Rainbow Days, bumped the art quality up by, hmm, 20% or so, went for the romance a bit harder, but kept the same mangaka¡ well, you¡¯d end up with this story about a guy and a girl who end up living together. While in high school. Without having met.
Despite manifesting one of the dumbest premises in the cliche bag, this manages to really get past both that and the baggage I¡¯d accumulated from Rainbow Days to be really rather terribly fun.
I do appreciate that this at least acknowledges how preposterous it all is and makes some attempts to throw up some explanation - Moemi has a photo of Hiragi, it just isn¡¯t actually OF him. Maybe. And the parents are well aware of this and told the kids, just not¡ enough.
Having a photo alone quietly skirts a lot of the implausible nonsense this particular subgenre travels in. Yes, it is just replacing it with different implausible nonsense, but sometimes a change is as good as a rest.
Amidst the usual problems and misunderstandings, both Moemi and Hiragi are really charming on their own and then even more so together. There¡¯s very little you can¡¯t overcome by starting out with two strong leads.
Moemi is the less-put together one of the two, but it¡¯s not that she¡¯s an idiot, she¡¯s just a teenage girl who isn¡¯t used to living with somebody who isn¡¯t family. There¡¯s a running gag of clothing mishaps (not the fanservice you¡¯re expecting, I assure you) that are both humorous and make sense.
Hiragi is the very popular boy and he isn¡¯t especially thrilled with it. He doesn¡¯t much get along with girls either, not by being rude or anything, merely politely disinterested. He¡¯s just clearly being seen for his looks rather than anything else. His reasons for being very forthright with Moemi might not be expressed the best, but he means well.
In fact, most of the communication issues here, which would normally drive me crazy, are basically the result of two people who have never met trying to figure one another out. That¡¯s a great premise for this! It¡¯s not like two childhood friends who suddenly decide to act lobotomized - they do not know one another well enough to be real.
It helps that Hiragi also doesn¡¯t exude any obnoxious machismo - he¡¯s a genuinely nice guy and even when he winds up hauling Moemi in for a hug in his sleep he feels bad. He apologizes for his mistakes and all that actually nice stuff. This manages to be a pretty cozy read.
The supporting cast is also quite good - Ema is a great friend to Moemi and you can tell that they are even before the story says it outright. They¡¯re a great pair. Minami Mizuno¡¯s strength has always been in writing believable friendships and I¡¯m pleased to see that continue.
We¡¯ll see how things develop; we have the threatened ex-girlfriend arriving on the scene next time out and that could be all sorts of lame. This is a pretty strong start, however, and I had a good time with it. It¡¯s definitely on the quieter side, but I am a fan of keeping it sweet and simple now and then.
4 stars - if you need it super dramatic, this is not that story, but it currently has a cozy charm that I hope continues into the next volume. A welcome change of pace to a tired premise.

This felt like such a nostalgic blast to the past! Aka the days when I'd binge read shoujo mangas featuring high schoolers in a forced cohabitation situation because "oh both of our parents are working overseas and don't want us to be lonely". Your text-book high school romance, but refreshing all the same!
Update: WAIT you're telling me this was made by the same author who wrote Rainbow Days?! ? That was such a CORE series for teen-me.. what are the odds

This was a refreshing take on the surprisingly common unexpected roommates trope. These two have an ease to their relationship that's so nice to see. Sure, there are the usual flustered moments, but they come after they start getting to know each other. And both characters are distinct and likeable, making them an easy couple to root for.

High 4 stars. This surprised me a lot. I really enjoyed the heroine in this. She is pretty straightforward while being ignorant and endearing. Guy is aloof. So far, it is cute.

Ahhh! I love Moemi!!!! She¡¯s too cute!

hmm. I'm not sure why this one didn't work for me, but I ended up skimming the last few chapters just to get it over with. the beginning was entertaining and I liked the hilarity of moemi realizing her new roommate is actually a guy, but as it goes through I think the ultra-quick pacing of the romance (she thinks she's in love with him by the end of just one volume) and a lot of things about ryouhei (idc what his excuse was, pretending he didn't even know her was a huge dick move) ended up bumping this down a couple of stars. don't think I'll continue with this. the art style is pretty nice and I really enjoyed some panels, especially the basketball rescuing one.

3/25 Pleasant library discovery! Nothing particularly new yet to the typical opposite gender teens live together and fall in love premise, but it has promise and I really like the characters. Definitely in for more.

My girl is falling way too easily lol but I do like the refreshing take on these typical tropes featured. Can't tell quite yet if Hiragi is a red or green flag yet...
