Summary:
Forget the familiar: circumstances wrest high schooler Meeko from an ordinary family life to her uncle’s boarding house, where she must learn to live with housework and … rather unusual adult housemates. What’s more, the oldest of the bunch, Matsunaga-san, is a little scary … but also always looks out for her! Presenting the first volume of Keiko Iwashita’s boarding-house love story!

Graphics Rating: 4/5
Plot Rating: 4/5

Opinion: This is a really cute story and I love the art, but it isn’t groundbreaking by any means.

The art is kind of unique. I love the way the manga-ka draws guys, specifically the main guy. He’s always shirtless and I love the undercut! 😉 The girl is very typical shoujo style.

The plot is very cute and light hearted. It does rely on a lot of tropes and I’m not fond of the heroines laziness but it’s still very cute. It’s also really nice to see a male character that is not only sincere and kind, but also dynamic and passionate.

There is a 10 year age gap between the heroine and the main guy so if you love shoujo manga with age gaps you’ll love this. But it does seem like it will be a slow-ish romance.

Final Rating: 4/5

Extra: If you like this series you will love L-DK and vice versa

Reading Shoujo Manga on the Kindle Fire HD8

Now I know the title is pretty specific but the reason I bought the Kindle Fire was pretty specific.

When I lived at my parents I was used to using my computer in bed in my room. Now that I live in my own place with an office I prefer to keep my laptop at my desk, and reading manga at the desk was such a chore.

I was looking around for an affordable tablet that was the perfect size for reading manga but at the same time had a bit more use than JUST reading. I technically have plenty of screen devices for music/games/ect I wanted something just for reading.

Lets review the Kindle Fire HD8 specifically for reading manga!
