Book 11
A romantic manga starring a high school girl who learns to live on her own, win at high school, and experience first love – all in a boarding house whose living room is home to the odd (but handsome) Matsunaga-san.

Within the walls of her uncle’s boarding house, highschooler Meeko has learned so much about growing up, becoming independent… and falling in love. Whether it’s the blossoming new romance between Ken and Asako, Ryo’s one-sided feelings for Meeko, or Meeko and Matsunaga-san’s complex relationship, it seems that love has touched the lives of all the boarding house residents. When an urgent work deadline—and an even more urgent accident—leads to cancelled plans between Matsunaga-san and Meeko on her birthday, Ryo consoles an upset Meeko… and the feelings he’s kept from her come boiling to the surface. But despite their recent ups and downs, Meeko’s heart still longs for Matsunaga-san… Can the fate that brought them together bring the two of them under the same roof once more?

Although the two have decided to hold off on becoming a couple until after Meeko’s high school graduation, just knowing Matsunaga-san cares for her puts Meeko’s mind at ease. And after she’s gifted a spare key to his apartment, Meeko couldn’t be happier! But even more new changes are awaiting the boarding house residents—such as new faces, new relationships, and lingering feelings. Through it all, Meeko wants to make sure Matsunaga-san is just as present in her life, but when Matsunaga-san’s job becomes busier than ever, what’ll it mean for their relationship…?
