If you like Shojo/romance, you'll love Living no Matsunaga-san. It feels very familiar to read and the plot is building nicely. The story follows a 17 year old high school girl Miko.

Miko moves into a share house of 6 adults and quickly bonds with 27 year old Matsunaga and the story builds to a tense romance. It's pretty fluffy but if you like fluff and Shojo like I do, then I think this will be a good pick for you.
The art is very good, something strange that I've noticed is the fashion of the main characters is a lot cooler than in other ... Shojo manga. With Miko rocking adidas, nike and even a pair of chuck taylors. Is that a strange thing to put in a review? I think its a nice touch though. Its nice to see characters who wear things other then "cute" date clothes and school uniforms.
The story isn't necessarily unique, it reminds me of "Dengeki Daisy", "Futari no Table" in terms of the age gap and "Taiyou no Ie" a lot in terms of plot and the art style is similar to "Ao Haru Ride"

So if you've enjoyed any of these you might like this one.
The only thing I can say is that Miko is yet to develop more of a character than the typical "I'm a high school girl in love" I'm a bit sick of this trope and would like too see more characters like Yona from "Akatsuki no Yona" who have fully built personality and goals that go beyond "I love this guy" but we are still early in the story so we'll see! At least she can cook, unlike her Shoujo predecessors!

Dengeki is probably my favourite Shoujo of all time. Kyousuke Motomi really does have a knack for romance.

Firstly, her art was pretty good, although I'd say in the start there were a few times where it looked a bit strange, I liked seeing her progression through her first massive serialisation.

The story was great! Not at all your classic Shoujo, you can tell by reading the first part that this is in another league! She builds romance nicely, giving you just enough, but also builds a fully fleshed plot, with conspiracy and developed characters.
As well as this, the comedy in Daisy was very ... good and surprisingly on point.

I enjoyed Dengeki Daisy a lot! The experience of reading it will stay with me for a long time.

9/10 but I also want to give it 10/10 :P
