This is one of my favorite mangas for the simple fact that it's so unexpectedly funny. This is only in the official English version though! If you read a fan scanlation you will definitely not experience the same nuances and comedic timing. Their facial expressions are hilarious and those small font snarky quips they make to each other made me audibly laugh at least every 5 minutes. If you're looking for a light fun manga to lift your spirits then is the one to try out.

Story: Like I said, it's really funny. However, the story itself is very cliche and their serious moments were super cringe sometimes. I had to take short breaks a few times to calm myself down from the second-hand embarrassment. But honestly, I enjoy a bit of cringe every now and then and this was a tolerable amount. If you're willing to go through the typical tropes of shoujo manga for the comedic enjoyment then I highly suggest it. [SPOILERS: The whole unrequited love chain between all the characters got exhausting at one point and the fact that it took them 5ever to get together in the end upset me a bit, but I thought it still ended pretty nicely.]

Art: I love her art! It's not the cleanest simply because it's one of her older works, but I had no complaints at all. Each panel was filled up nicely, to the point where it forced me to savor all the art because there was so much going on both story and art-wise. Very easy on the eyes and the characters were fairly attractive. Fashion sense a bit questionable, however.

Characters: Shimana can be annoying af sometimes, as she is the typical young inexperienced shoujo heroine. Her lack of ambition physically hurt me, but she was sweet and thoughtful overall. Taiga was sarcastic and majorly insensitive at times but gave the best advice and care to the housemates. Other characters had fully fleshed out backstories and ample screen time. [SPOILERS: My American self craved more physical affection from the MCs but I can't expect too much from a Japanese PG manga. I wanted Shimana to overcome her dating anxiety but the story ended with her the same as usual. I really hoped for a bit more character growth with her. MCs were still really cute together though.]

Overall, I would recommend this to people who enjoy shoujo manga since it's so unique in it's humor and attention to detail in the panels. Very cute!!
