A story about our female lead who catches her boyfriend cheating on her. With no money and no place to live now she goes to her friends Exposition A and Exposition B who help her find a sharehouse. She then lives with 4 other people, 1 of them being her ex boyfriend in middle school. However her ex seems to be more touchy than she realizes. He is suffering from Impotency and the only person that seems to cure him is his ex. Our main heroine. So you have a complicated relationship of a more than friends less than lovers situation.
The character development in this series is probably the best part about it. The reason it feels the most authentic is because the characters in a sense don't really realize it themselves. It feels more natural when the character doesn't narrate how much they have changed in between the argument they are having. It gives a much more authentic feeling to the characters.
The romance in this series is also good. Mostly because its not necessary one way thing. Due the nature of the relationship touching comes first. So you know the bases that you cover are little weird. 3rd base, 5th base, 2nd base, 4th base, 1st base etc.
I quite liked the side characters in this series as well. Because they felt more alive here. Rather than be characters simply to rival the main characters or to you know move forward the plot they actually had a presence. Did there own thing. I especially liked the 2nd female main character. She was great. Usually they are absolute worst in every romance series. But she was by far my favourite character in the series.
The 2nd male lead was also pretty likable. He was basically what the main plot was. Even though the story is about the male lead getting over his impotency. He was actually barely in the 2nd act of the manga when i think about it.... I liked how manipulative he was in the series. Characters like this are just assholes for no reason. But how much he tried to control the situation was honestly very exciting to see. Even if it wasn't for a good reason.
The series also does a good job of subverting expectations. Thinking that one cliche is gonna happen only for the opposite to happen. It sometimes wastes a little too much time on it but its not a big deal. It does drag on at places at times however.
Though it does subvert expectations from time to time. One of the characters does in fact have huge mommy issues. Cuz the author needs to keep some of the classic cliches.
Overall I quite enjoyed the tone and the character development. However it the 2nd act of the story, just drags on for too long. Which kinda results in this stale feeling. The series does pick up again but by then its too late.
Something worth reading at least once. But not exceptional or anything. 7/10
