'My Fair Neighbor' is a short romance story about a former delinquent and his young neighbor.
The Bad:
The ending is --in my humble opinion-- a bit rushed and forced, but that does not deter from it being a satisfactory ending. I personally feel that the romantic ending did not really fit well with the rest of the story, but I guess that is my personal taste. I would have liked this to be a story about friendship more than a story about romance.
The Good:
Where this story really shines is in its characterization. The main characters are properly fleshed out. Both characters (and even Momo's mother)

This is only my opinion but I hope it can be useful in some way.
“My fair neighbour” is about… two neighbours. Wah! Was not expecting that! Anyway, it’s a very short story, but even so it didn’t feel ‘packed’ or rushed. Through the five chapters the feelings of the characters were portrayed properly. Momo is a lovely girl and a likeable main character. As to Yuki, his apparent lack of emotion is actually very endearing, and from the way I see it, the story is more about him and his life, hurdles and struggles, than Momo’s. Not for a moment did I find their age gap ... Feb 1, 2019
Megumi Morino's mangas so far I've come to adore. Definitely one of my favorite mangakas. Unfortunately, right now, it seems that Morino only has a few works published.
I quickly came to read this after finishing 'Ohayou, Ibarahime' (which I absolutely love, by the way). 'My Fair Neighbor' was a short, but heartwarming story.

A really adorable short story! I was surprised by the depth of the characters - the thoughts and dialogue are more realistic and nuanced than pretty much any other shoujo I've read. The emotion is honest and multifaceted, the art is cute and clean, and the pacing was excellent. I honestly think this manga deserves a much better score than the one it has.
The interaction of the characters and the honesty that they use in interacting with each other is really refreshing. The characters' dilemmas are communicated clearly without resorting to long, over-involved monologues, and their responses and feelings towards other characters (for example ... |
