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 …
LIKE A DREAM Meeko’s wildest dreams have finally come true—not only has she confessed her feelings to Matsunaga-san, but to her surprise, Matsunaga-san admits that the feeling is mutual…! With Meeko still in high school, and both of them living under the same roof, the two decide to refrain from dating until after Meeko graduates. While Meeko can’t wait for them to officially become a couple, just being able to live with Matsunaga-san and see him every day is enough to leave her floating on air… that is, until Matsunaga-san announces he’s moving out of the boarding house!
