    MANGA: Doukyuusei Seikatsu

    December 25, 2020 / No Comments

    Doukyuusei Seikatsu – Kinoshita Keiko

    Mizuno and Mitazon were middle school classmates with polar opposite personalities. One day, years later, Mitazon calls Mizuno up to help take care of some stray kittens. Mizuno agrees to stay in his house to look after the kittens for a short while. This is living together with a classmate!

    Kinoshita Keiko has been mostly hit or miss with me. Classmate Living is definitely a hit. It’s a childhood friends to lovers story, a slow burn romance between two middle school classmates who somehow maintained a connection up to adulthood despite separate schools.

    Mitazon is a poker-faced tsundere who is adorbs when flustered. Mizuno is the more outgoing of the two. I am so happy this was written in his POV. Typically, we get the story from the POV of the one pining for the other person. Seeing the romance unfold through the eyes of the one pined for is a refreshing take on the trope.

    The atmosphere is gentle and the artwork matched that vibe. The pacing was great, never too slow or fast with each scene executed just right. For me, this is the mangaka’s best work to date.

    Suki Dakara Kiss Shita No? – Kinoshita Keiko

    It happened in a sunny day right before summer. Fujisawa Souta?s first kiss was with his older classmate, Ayase Chihiro. It?s now their summer vacation, and yet, nothing has happened between the two of them! What?s worse? he discovers that he wasn?t actually Ayase?s first kiss, and now regrets kissing him.

    Best thing about all this is Rui. The rest was plain boring

    Kiss mo Shiranai Kuse ni – Kinoshita Keiko

    High school freshman, Fujisawa Satou, was molested in a train one morning. However, that was only a misunderstanding on his part, and he eventually found out that it was only a racket. The one who informed him was Ayase Chihiro, the transfer student who started a month late. It was awkward between the two of them at first, but they gradually became closer.

    Not as sparkly as the author intended but it would do
