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 …
For Meeko, boarding house life has finally become second nature—or, it would be, if not for one thing: her housemate Matsunaga-san. Her feelings for him steadily grow stronger, but Meeko is in for a painful shock when he tells her he thinks of her as family! Yet, mere days later, when a night with friends leaves her out past curfew, he sends her reeling again—not only does he come for her, but he tells her he worries for her, and holds her tight… Adult men just don’t play fair!! Presenting the third volume of this boarding house love story!
