Chapters 25 - 28: The New Years chapter at the beginning of the volume was really cute with Abe sick with a cold and needing to be taken care of. Valentine's was a really quick chapter and then Abe ends up meeting Akari's father and introducing himself to her parents. The bonus chapter at the end was also really fun. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

This was a quick and fun story with autumn vibes, interesting characters and an enjoyable plot. I enjoyed getting to know Skye and her daughter Ashley in this story as well as Troy and the relationships between all the characters were fun to watch develop. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

🎂 Chapters 37 - 40: A lot happens in this volume and the story is moving quickly now with only one volume left. I feel bad for how things left off for some of the characters at the end of this volume and hope things work out well for everyone in the next.

🎄 Chapters 29 - 32: This volume was another great addition to the series. I love watching how all the characters are developing and as the series continues we get more opportunities to get to know some that we didn't know well before. I enjoyed the intro of the possible Kentaro and Asako story and look forward to seeing how things change between them going forward. I also enjoyed the introduction of Matsunaga Kun's friend and former housemate Ryugen and the group visiting him at his temple. I look forward to reading the next volume in this series. 🎊

🎄 Chapters 25 - 28: I really enjoyed this volume and seeing everything that was going on between Meeko and Matsunaga as well as her and Ryo. I really like Ryo and feel bad for him because I am rooting for Meeko and Matsunaga while he is starting to fall for Meeko. I look forward to seeing what happens next at the Christmas party and with all the different relationship developments taking place.

🐱 This volume also contains Living-Room Extra 3 Sabako-San. These little shorts from Sabako's perspective are really cute.

Chapters 21 - 24: I really enjoyed this volume. It was fun to see Matsunaga and Ryo visit Meeko at her school festival although Ryo ran away quickly leaving Meeko and Matsunaga alone to go through all the different things going on around her school. I also enjoyed the storyline about Hattori. Ryo is becoming more of a main character and I am enjoying seeing how things are developing in the story. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

🐱 This volume also contains another little short bonus chapter told from Sabako's perspective that was cute.
