Not my cup of tea. ( )

Contains Chapters 01 - 04: This looks like it is going to be a really interesting series with lots of different characters that I look for to getting to know better as the series continues. I look forward to seeing what happens next between Miko and Matsunaga-Kun. ( )

Miko, a high school girl, moves into boarding house with a bunch of young adult professionals.

This is a borderline three-star book for me because I like the art, the scenes between Miko and the women in the boarding house, and her desire to adapt and fit into this new setting. But her focus quickly settles on the temperamental book cover designer who presses her into service to teach him what girls find to be cute. Teenage girl crushing on twentysomething man. I never know if these sort of books are intended for a teen girl audience dreaming of a mature man or mature men with statutory rape fantasies. I'm left uneasy because when I have come across titles like this in the past, the couple always ends up getting together, which, ewwww.

I have two more volumes waiting for me at the library, and I'll read them hoping the story is going in a different direction than what I'm dreading. ( )
