Boring but not that bad

The landlady had died and her grandson has come to take over things. However, changes were inevitable and the tenants have 6 mos before they have to leave. However, the landlady had a favorite and he's about to be the landlord's as well.

This group of residents gave off such a lovely feeling of family and were each interesting in their own right. The MCs were the adorable icing on this cake.

uninteresting storyline

measured and heartwarming.

Liked the story line....?

chika-chan is so hot *-*

Masachika Fujimaki(26), the new apartment manager & previous dead landlady's grandson, suddenly told the tenants of Wisteria Manor to move out within 6 months... Having lived there for so long without incident, the tenants are restless about this ..Moreover Kei Kuraya(23) found out that his new landlord is gay but he seems to get closer to him..

A story about a boarding house, focusing mostly on one character, a university student. He and his fellow lodgers are suddenly faced with six month's notice that they need to find other accommodations when their grandmotherly landlady suddenly passes and her handsome adult grandson takes over the property. The student initially resents the young man, until the sudden revelation that he is gay and his persistent kindness makes him reassess his assumptions.

As I have said often before, I have a special weakness for boarding house settings, and this one hits all of my buttons. It is a lovely story about collective living, focusing on the environment created by the found family of misfits who live and love the old house.

The romance too, while imperfect, does a slightly better job of addressing the fact that one of the characters initially thinks that he is straight (thankfully while there are some BL cliches, neither character conforms to uke/seme stereotypes). The relationship has a beautiful slow build as well. I recommend this story if you want a leisurely paced but comforting read with a nice family atmosphere and a bit of maturity.

Warnings for the gay character having sex with the straight character while he is very drunk. There is also a trans character who actually is treated fairly well in the story, but, from the perspective of someone who is culturally American, definitely there are some missteps: it is vaguely suggested that the trans character ought to have been more open about it (it's only one remark, but there the implication that she "deceived" another character); she comes out by saying "I am a man" when it is clear that she is trans and not just crossdressing, &c. Not saying if it is good or bad, since Japan has a different cultural context. Nevertheless, I must say from my perspective it is one of the best portrayals of a trans person in BL I've seen, even if she is mostly a background character and not the focus of the story. Make of that what you will.

I enjoyed it, it was a good story.
