あいつ、もっと笑ったらいいのに。

空き巣被害で一文無しになった会社員の泉は、家賃の安いおんぼろ長屋に越してくる。
そこには大家代理の無愛想な大学生・春人をはじめ、自由すぎる先住人たちがいた。
皆の遠慮のなさと春人の口の悪さに疲れ果てる泉だが、ふとしたきっかけで春人になつかれ……?

長屋で始まる恋のエチュード!!

Robbed nearly blind, Izumi is forced to move out of his apartment into more…”affordable” housing—which means shacking up in a run-down tenement complex with five quirky neighbors, including Haruto—the weirdest, most seemingly unsociable landlord he’s ever met. Izumi’s convinced all he has to do is buckle down at work and put up with this miserable situation for the time being until he saves up enough to move, but then they all kind of start to grow on him—especially (and perhaps most unexpectedly) Haruto.

I honestly wouldve liked the story even more if it was only about Izumi and Haruto because they were pretty much likeable and there wasn't really funny business going on among the two. Whereas with Momo and Jin, there's just constant arguing and like the Jin character is a pretty ignorant character to say the least. He invites himself A LOT to Momos house and likes to put his dirty paws every so often onto Momo. This guy even snaps at people whoever gets friendly with Momo. Bro you don't own him!! Wake up Momo, he's not relationship material hello????? Major red flag to say the least...

I really like the first volume and I also like the main leads, Izumi and Haruto. I think they just have likable characteristics and their character development was not bad. The tenants neighbors were also very kind and they feel like family. I’m reading volume 2.... but I think I’ll drop be because the second couple is not my tea.

Haruto's character is really mindblowing. He's super closed off but has a high curiosity. If he meets someone with bad intentions, it's pretty dangerous since Haruto is also a bit naive.

A relationship getting serious in just 2 weeks seems unrealistic and kinda scary if it happened to me. But, despite that, the interactions between Izumi and Haruto are pretty entertaining. And yeah, even though they seem noisy, having neighbors like theirs in the apartment complex seems fun.

Ah, but even though I really like it and find it entertaining, I can't give it a higher rating than this.

Haruto and Izumi are hilarious with their misunderstandings and naivety. Love the plot and how eager and curious Haruto is, even being a very shy person. And I have to applaude Izumi for following his feelings and not his mind.

I LOVED the main couple. I loved Haruto's innocence and Izumi's rationals and meltdown. Though it progressed quite quickly, it was still cute.

Not bad, just feels like an older yaoi/bl vibe. A lot of "I have never been interested in a man before, and you're probably the only man I will like this way." Ok 🙄

My favorite of sensei’s work. The dark haired uke moe + the sharehouse/tenement setting + multiple couples = perfection for me.

I really liked this one! Haruto was a great character, I can somehow identify with him, he's into books, really awkward with others, doesn't get why people act the way they do and he's just a babe. I wish there were a continuation of him and Izumi, they were so adorable, but it seems like the next two volumes are completely on Momo and Jin, who I don't really have any interest in so I don't know if I'll be reading those.
A really fun yaoi manga :)

Everything happens a little fast... but they're both lovely characters. Izumi is supercute.
Also I read this while riding various trains in Japan ~
