This was a cute, if a tad bland, first volume. A miscommunication leads to forced cohabitation, which I will admit I'm not the biggest fan of (I've been burned before -- looking at you LDK). I'm also not a big fan of the female immediately falling for or getting a crush on the emotionally distant male lead just because he smiles one time. I do like how Moemi is a highly self-actualized person who catches herself in her fantasies and can reign herself in. I really, really don't like how the two main leads never sat down and discussed boundaries and other very important topics to have with roommates, but I can forgive them because of how forced the situation was. I'll tentatively pick up the next volume to see where things go.
