It was fairly interesting, but typical at the start, but the surprised twist certainly made it more interesting in the last 2 chapters or so. I did wish we could have read more chapters after finding out his secret- I feel like the parts I wanted to read about the most were rushed through. The very last scene did make me want to cry, though, where his hands changed. That, coupled with the line "until death separates us" just hit me right in the heart T_T. I always like it when mangakas can convey an entire instance and the emotions behind it within 1 or 2 images and little text, as only great story tellers can.

Lol on pg 32 when he said he liked his eyes and those things suddenly changed into somebody else's. I get the mangaka wanted us to see what he saw but damn lol! But it was quite a cute story overall. The extra wasn't bad either.

It was alright, I suppose? Really not this author's best work but it was a nice read. Felt like the end came too soon, though.

I stopped reading at 40th chapter but am not putting it in dropped because I'd finish it if I were less bored/tired. But, as it is, the end is pretty predictable, and I don't feel like watching the main couple flounder about for 7 more chapters just to finally date properly. Only wish for Zen to be happy with the bishoujo. And maybe the dad to get some comeuppance for being a perennial asswipe. But, overall, it wasn't bad. Despite the fact that it was built on a pretty shaky premise (who the hell goes to live with 3 strangers?), it had its funny moments. It did drag on (I thought chapter 24 was only a few chapters out from the end lol), but it comes with the territory I guess.

High school girl runs away to Tokyo to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. One step before being homeless, she finds an inexpensive boarding house with one condition: all tenants must be beautiful. Review: Uh...okay I guess? It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. A solid shoujo- great for passing time.
