Synopsis

Raizo Fuwa is a 25-year-old salaryman living in a cramped home and working in a crowded office in Tokyo. His hopes for improved conditions are dashed when the new office building his company is supposed to move into is condemned as unsafe because the construction company has been cutting corners. Since the old building is already being demolished, they have no choice but to "temporarily" move the office into Fuwa's new flat. The final complication arrives in the form of the new employee Izumi Hiyama, a high school dropout the boss has promised to take care of as a favor to her family. No landlords are willing to rent to a 15-year-old girl, so she too has to move into Fuwa's home/office.

Looking at the premise of Living Game, you may expect a silly, enjoyable romp with goofy humor and awkward situations. While these elements are certainly present, as the chapters flip by, this story evolves into something that is both very real and touches on many issues of life, and living.

Story: The story in Living Game really snuck up on me. While I was enjoying the elements and laughing along, a very real story had naturally evolved and entwined itself with what I was reading. Everything that was introduced felt well paced and natural, even the shocking elements. Characters act how you would actually expect ...

This early manga has a bit of a dated feel to it, and you immediately think of the early 90's. After introducing the main characters, the story began to roll by and a comfortable pace. I'd have to say that this is one of the few times when I didn't notice the evolving storyline, which is always a good thing. The characters are all designed to work with each others personalities and there aren't all too many "minor" characters.
I'd have to say that the main theme of Living game would probably be making decisions in life, hence the name living game. It's mostly ...

Preliminary (40/119 eps)
(Spoilers included).
Okay,seeing all the good reviews,you'd think this would be a good and nice 90's romance manga,right? Wrong.

In fact,this is probably the worst romance manga I've read.

The side characters (3):- Extremely bland,three of them have next to no presence (Nanba-the sunglasses lady,the boss,and the older office worker guy).
There is literally only one likeable side character in this manga,and it's the stubborn old man who doesn't meant to move out of his house.

Art (6):- Generic 90's manga artstyle,nothing to hate nor love here.

Main character (3):- Absolutely detestable piece of shit.Has no quirks or things going for him except hiding the lust for a 16 year old,and ...
