For me 3 might be a rather low score but I still found it a delightful read, more like a 3.5 if I'm honest.

The layout was quite unique as I havent seen the box panel layout like that before, was strange at first but I got used to it after a while.

The story is really wholesome, no real romance to speak of but you could imply it quite easily throughout. I like both of the characters and they bounce off each other quite nicely so far, I will be continuing with the series!

There hasn't been alot of developments throughout but its more of an accumulation of short stories than an actual overall story so far

Its not a bad read, there are funny & cute moments so its keeping me engaged for now

I dunno what it was but I felt that this volume has been an easier read than the previous two.

Maybe its because the layout was a mix of the small boxes and what I'm used to in terms of manga layout but still was really enjoyable.

Best volume by far!
The story feels like its going somewhere in terms of there relationship along with other characters relationships

Plus the additions of moka & koruri have really been great so far

I feel this is a little bit of a step back from the last volume, there felt like there was some steps forward in the last volume but its back to what it was before, same dynamic, no real development. Bit of a let down but that's not saying it was a bad read, just expected more after the last one.

I didn’t really get into the story,  I think it’s because I find it odd that the characters’ appearances are very chibi-like and that distracts me.

I really wanted to like this series. I bought it originally because of the cover art being as cute as it is, and because the series was on sale on the Kindle. I didn't like it, though.

To start off, the layout of the panels is a little strange. I couldn't concentrate on what was going on since everything was so small inside the 8 panels that were squished onto a page. Even on my tablet, which has a 10.5 inch screen, I couldn't really see what was going on and I was straining my eyes just trying to read everything and take in the background.

The characters were also really flat. You have Kawawa, who is this super bubbly "I don't mind if I do everything around the house, I think it's fun" type of person, and then you have Kasumi, who eats her body weight in food and then immediately falls asleep, overheats when it's 50 degrees outside, goes along with whatever Kawawa wants to do (but very sluggishly because she's always tired and overheating).

A whole lot of nothing happened, and I did not enjoy my time reading this book. It was just chores and school and Kasumi sleeping. Reading this almost put me to sleep.

I haven't read the previous volumes of this manga, but it's pretty easy to pick up on what's going on. You have two college roommates who have known each other and been roommates since high school, with plenty of hints that their feelings for each other are stronger than friendship. It's presented very sweetly, and it gives you all the cute young love feels, they're really an adorable couple! The book is filled with short slice-of-life stories, highlighting the girls' lives together- going to school, work, out with friends, dealing with everyday stuff like cooking and housework, and settling into becoming an adult. The artwork is luminescent; it just glows with youthful aspirations!
