Synopsis

Kazunari Usa's dream to live away from his parents is fulfilled when they allow him to move into an old boarding house called Kawai Complex. With his landlady providing him meals and his parents covering his rent, Kazunari finally achieves the peaceful life he longs for, as he is ready to enter his first year at high school. Or so it seems...

Upon moving into the boarding house, Kazunari finds out that he has to share a room with resident masochist Shirosaki. He must also live under the same roof as Mayumi Nishikino, a drunkard with a hopeless love life, and Sayaka Watanabe, a seemingly innocent college student. Although he is surrounded by these unique characters, Kazunari still counts himself lucky to be living in the same building as Ritsu Kawai, a second-year student he has a crush on.

As Kazunari settles into the boarding house, he soon realizes that the inhabitants of Kawai Complex are bound to add a twist to the life he has been hoping to live.

I was trying to decide whether I should give this a 9 or a 10, but I settled on a 9. There are a lot of slight issues that I have with this manga, although I do still believe it is very good. I think that the characters and the writing shined the most; which makes sense considering the basic plot is that Usa attracts interesting but strange people. Somehow, this manga made even the really weird and annoying characters (Shiro and Mayumi) into characters I found engaging and enjoyable to see appear in a chapter. But, this doesn't ignore the parts that I disliked ...

One of my favourite manga of all time, this series in terms of story could be said to be a standard romcom but what makes it great imo is the execution of it. Now part of it might be bias as I first read it shortly after watching the anime back in 2014 (It took me a while to write a review lol) but even after reading this as an adult I still found it to be a very fun read. The only drawback for me is the art which is kinda hard on the eyes in the beginning but that improves as well as ...

I'd rate the first half 7/10, but the 2nd half was kind of a slog to get through at 6/10.
From half to three-quarter mark, the protagonist's "will they-won't they" hit peak frustration and I'm not sure I've felt so annoyed in almost anything I've read so far.
Overall the show hits extremely well with comedy, I always felt like it could make you laugh any time it wanted.
The final part of the story was a good wrap up albeit short. I'm also quite disappointed that no one kissed anyone at all in the entire story, the seinen tag was only applicable to the dirty jokes.
Lastly, I ...
