The 5 is likely going to go down within the near future, as this is taking a turn for the love-triangle. The initial set-up is already pretty... sketchy, but it's just getting worse.

Essentially, it's the classic set-up: pretty average college guy moves in next to >insert anime girl trope here< (in this case it's a bossy lady with large... assets) and antics ensure. Pretty generic. The guy is pretty cool, I like his farmer background, that's a unique touch. Otherwise very standard.

Every chapter is basically the girl getting drunk, and MC taking care of her and then some antics. Now a second girl has been ... introduced, she gets drunk and thirsty with MC in the second chapter she's in, never a good sign for a romance manga.

I'll keep up with this one, maybe it'll turn serious and good at some point, one can hope.

A light disappointment, initial chapters captured my attention but the problem was from chapter 1 until chapter 30 the dynamic didn't change much.

Story 5/10
It's average, Rom Com Slice of life story.
I will agree there is comedy, I will agree there is slice of life but romance....Romance is a joke here.
Dynamic of drunken woman and a young lad who take care of her while she is drunk, the problem is this dynamic doesn't change from chapter 1 till the very end. Were there even any romance involved? Hard to say, fan service and erotic moments ONLY due to her drunken state...I cannot consider ... this a romance.
To tell you the truth there were potentially 2 ships (female partners) and I would say the 2nd one would be much better probably at the very least there is genuine affection.
In short what you see in chapter 1-2 you will see throughout the manga until very end. Comedy mostly revolves around drunken state of our Female Lead and rarely the old lady making some commentary. Slice of life revolves around drunken state of female lead and lastly romance is also mixed with alcohol.

Art 7/10
The art is quite nice characters are drawn good but cast is small and places of interactions are limited but nevertheless it's pleasant to the eye. Speech bubbles and panel placement is up to standard.

Characters 4/10
There is no progression whatsoever. What you see at the beginning you see at the end excluding Male lead having some balls but actually it wasn't even mentioned that he didn't have them, he was a simp by his nature not a coward.
And once again romance>? Didn't see that there guy became interested in a drunken mess that teases him and that said drunken mess is only somehow affectionate only when she is drunken beside some points where she tried do things for him as a thank you for always cleaning her barf.......

Enjoyment 5/10

I was enjoying it but after 10 chapters nothing changed then i read that it had only 31 chapter. So every new chapter that didn't change anything here decreased my enjoyment and expectations. And the ending.....It was ok but lacking in so many ways.

Overall 5/10

Would I recommend it? Not really.
I read it because i have an inclination to romance genre and older women but other than that this manga is an epitome of mediocracy and disappointments. So it's a mixed feeling, If you are up my alley read it, if not stray away. It's a good time waster but other than that it's nothing.
