Whoa, there is not a single review for this one. I am astonished. I guess it's my turn to be the first, once again. So, here's the brief version for those of you who don't enjoy long reviews: it's a very nice yuri manga, but the ending is a bit crumpled. If you don't mind having the final chapter being a mildly inconclusive bunch of cuteness that resolves pretty much nothing and just want to enjoy the journey, I can recommend it to you. If you're in for a decent closure, approach this one with caution. For those of you who like longer, more detailed reviews, hereI go.
This one starts off pretty strong. A manga editor who has just been dumped by her girlfriend seeks a way to reinvent herself and decides that finding a new place to live is a great way to start this reinvention. Unbeknownst to her, this new place comes with a caveat, which is the fact that the landlady lives there, too. Said landlady is an extremely cute young girl who used to be an idol. And the leading author for the aforementioned editor is a hardcore fan of that idol. Yeah, they're all women. Lots of comedy and drama ensue.
In a nutshell, this is a very interesting story. There is a lot of character development, lots of yuri moments, and lots of moe. You even get a side story (which, I feel, is not properly developed though). When looked upon as a whole, this story is quite strong and entertaining, with random splashes of realism that give it depth. And this depth is quite inspiring.
The final chapter, however, spoils the fun a little. It's this "6 month later" sort of deal, where events that could and should have taken chapters are barely mentioned, and there is not much sense of resolution. It looks rushed and hastily put together, so the final impression this manga makes is a bit dampened. Otherwise, however, it's quite good.
Personally, I am disappointed to see this manga end this way. I won't say it's a deal breaker, though. It's still a great yuri story that has tons of intriguing moments, and if you value the process more than the result, I recommend it to you wholeheartedly. But if you are in for the result, it may be slightly confusing. It's far from being a disaster, but it could have been done much, much better.
The final kiss sent goosebumps down my spine, though, so it's all good.
