After her parents leave to care for her ailing grandmother, high schooler Miko “Meeko” Sonoda moves into her uncle’s boarding house. There, she meets its rather unusual residents, including the oldest of the bunch: the grumpy mother hen, Matsunaga-san. With the help of her housemates, Meeko begins to adjust to her new life away from her parents, but she soon learns that no matter how far away from home she is, she’s still a young girl at heart—especially when she finds herself falling for Matsunaga-san …
MOVING HOUSE Matsunaga-san may have moved out of the boarding house, but instead of dwelling on the fact that they’re no longer living together, Meeko’s looking forward to what’s in store for their future. 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...?
