Synopsis

Manga editor Asako Suga decides moving into a new home is just the thing she needs to get over a painful breakup with her toxic ex-girlfriend. She finds the perfect place for rent—affordable, spacious, lovely garden included—but there's one catch. The house comes with a live-in landlord! It's disappointing enough that Asako can't have the single life she hoped for, but her cute landlord also seems to be hiding a big secret...Will living together bring them closer, or turn out to be more trouble than it's worth?

Whoa, there is not a single review for this one. I am astonished. I guess it's my turn to be the first, once again.

So, here's the brief version for those of you who don't enjoy long reviews: it's a very nice yuri manga, but the ending is a bit crumpled. If you don't mind having the final chapter being a mildly inconclusive bunch of cuteness that resolves pretty much nothing and just want to enjoy the journey, I can recommend it to you. If you're in for a decent closure, approach this one with caution.

For those of you who like longer, more detailed reviews, here ...

the spoiler portion of this review has a warning before it, so you can read the rest of the review without worrying.

Maitsuki Niwa-tsuki Ooya-tsuki is one of the fluffiest manga I have ever read, executed to near perfection. While the story does have some drama, it never really gets angsty, and often resolves conflict in a very comfy way. Instead of focusing on some grandiose plot, the entire story is within the relationships of each of the characters. This pays off incredibly well, as each character is incredibly distinct in personality, and very interesting to watch. The mangaka has a bit of same-face syndrome with ... their art, however it never really becomes a problem with how different each character's personalities are. The main focus of this manga is obviously the relationship between the tenant and landlord, and it is one of the best fluffy romances I've read. Nothing really drags on, and there isn't much comedy filler, each chapter you see the two get closer and closer. One very cute thing this manga has is it shows off the layout of the two's home at each point in the manga. If you combine all of these together you can see a very cute display of the main couple getting closer and closer, even before dating. The story is also very grounded while staying lighthearted, It portrays its topics in a realistic, but optimistic way. One of the leads is an idol, and it deals with things like the paparazzi, stalking, etc. with the serious they deserve, but not so much to bring the mood down. When one of the leads of a romance is an idolized person I usually don't like it, as they are often held to some very strange level. An example of this is any high school romance that involves a "prince" or "princess" character. They are often obsessively hounded, without ever shedding any light to the issue of their popularity. Either that or their popularity is used as a way to hold the plot back. however this manga does none of this. Miyako's life as an idol is separate from her current life, and while she still faces issues from it, it is not her entire existence.

[End Spoilers]
One thing I have seen criticized of this manga is that the ending was inconclusive and rushed. While I can tell the author definitely did not have the time to cover everything they wanted, I believe they did everything they could with the time they had left. For example, there is a "side couple" in the manga that never gets together. It really seemed like the mangaka wanted to finish their plot together, but decided to leave it open and not rush it instead. The ending itself I don't have much issue with either. While It went by pretty fast, it was as grounded as the rest of the manga, didn't make up bullshit for the plot to move forward, and had an ending that was very in-character. I was personally satisfied with the ending.
[Spoilers Over]

I guess i should grade it's aspects:
plot - 8
characters - 9
world - 8 (focusing on it's depiction of the idol industry)
enjoyment - 9

Overall this manga was exactly what my heart needed after a very stressful month.
87-90/100

Mixed Feelings

Maitsuki Niwatsuki Ooyatsuki, while not bad by any means, is difficult for me to wholeheartedly recommend. Yuri-- even yuri focused on adult relationships-- is no longer a sparse genre by any means, but is certainly not yet prolific enough that I feel great about scorning an entry whose worst offenses are poor prioritization of focus and a weak endgame.

There are things I could praise about it. The art, while not exceptional, perhaps, is still sleek and pretty. Character designs are distinctive yet realistic (at least in terms of the main couple; side characters do tend to blur together). There aren't any annoying jealousy arcs, misunderstandings ...
