As if the less-than-livable conditions weren't bad enough, he has to put up with his new weird, rude and tactless neighbors - and one of them is Haruto, the superintendent. -- Everyone in the complex has seen Momo and Jin in a compromising situation at least once or twice. But what exactly is the relationship between these two men?" ✰ Neighbor x Neighbor ✰ Multiple Couples (2-3) ✰ Funny, Light-Hearted, Sweet, Fluffy ⤷ i believe this is the first "fluffy" BL i ever read after learning that "fluffy" was an often used adjective for BLs, lol. my note from back then says, "favorite fluffy yaoi of all time"! but i had only read a handful of BLs at all at that time so... i still remember liking it and thinking it was cute. i lovedd the antisocial bookworm
