summary: kugayama shuusei is the prince of the school – cool, aloof, and popular with girls. that doesn’t give him any excuse to put down girls when they’ve gathered up so much courage to confess to him, though! or so nishimori aoi expresses as much when she confronts him for the way he dumped her best friend, moe… even though moe herself isn’t really that mad, since she was turned down completely. when shuusei moves in next to aoi’s apartment, she is rather shocked. more shocking is when she finds herself cooking him a meal because the guy looked ready to pass out – it didn’t even look like he knew how to feed himself! living next to him, she sees a different side to him.. and learns that he finds all women a bother because they go confessing their love to someone they barely even know. one day, however, she messes up while cooking for him, and his apartment is pretty much ruined when the sprinkler system goes off and pretty much soaks everything through. to compensate, shuusei ends up living with aoi….?!
commentary: aoi is pretty gutsy and cute… and, as shuusei puts it, “prone to violence.” she’s a good friend who defends what must be defended and she doesn’t really hold back when she thinks she’s right. i don’t really quite get shuusei, though. i understand (and find funny) all the hijinx that can ensue with the whole guy-and-girl-find-themselves-living-together-alone thing, but his actions don’t necessarily match what he said in the beginning. even if he were to find her interesting, i didn’t really see a warming up period. XD i’m really liking this story, though.. and i can’t wait for the next volume. :3
