Summary

15-year-old Fukushima Yuuya has always wanted to live on her own, in an inn next to her school. This new dorm of hers, the Strawberry Tree Dorm, turns out to be a place with weird people--a girl that touches her chest out of the blue, a guy with one of the shortest tempers ever. But the good thing is, there's a really handsome and nice guy that she fell in love with instantly! Not to mention a crazy cat who adores him (looks can be deceiving...). Yuuya's life has just become much more interesting...

Includes the following oneshots:

The Prince's Egg (Volume 2)
Satsuki has a boyfriend who she has dated for half a year. However, the thing she worries about the most is the fact that he's childish. All they've done together is play "Rock, Paper, Scissors."

Angel in Christmas (Volume 4)

My Thoughts

Review covers 21 chapters 

Hi everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! I’m having another work by Nana Haruta. Well, the first one was Stardust Wink and if you’re interested you can read it on my blog.

This story is your normal shoujo manga with lots of romance. It surely is fun, as the story takes place in a house full of school kids. We get to see a lot of different people thrown to leave together. Do you think it is fun? Then this story is for you! Get to know all of the people living in the dorm, but be careful most of them are eccentric, and some are just plain weird. But there are some, which will make your heart beat, and not only yours to say the truth.

Will we have a happy ending or not so much? Will the choice be the one who we were rooting for or not? There’s a weird Love Triangle. Grab your copy now and have fun reading! Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!

Summary

I’m Anna. I’m 14 years old and I’ve just entered the ninth grade. Sou and Hinata, who live in the same apartment complex as me, are my childhood friends and we’re all the same age. I thought that from now on we’d become even closer friends, but then my senior came! I don't know what to do!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Today I have a very sweet story to share with you. Are you ready? I hope you are. It was my first time reading Nana Haruta’s work and well I liked it. I can’t say I was impressed with it, but it’s one great story to read to raise your spirits. The plot is not all that unique, but it still has a lot of twists and turns that make your heart race at one point and laugh a lot at the other.

Okay, back to the story. Meet our characters: Anna, Hinata and Sou Childhood friends that make an amazing love triangle. How it goes? Sou loves Anna, while Anna loves Hinata, and who does Hinata Love? Well, I’m quite sorry to spoil all the fun, but here it is: Hinata loves Anna. There were many things that happened so Anna and Hinata confessed their feelings. The very first one was Sou, and he makes an amazing character. Well, all of them make amazing characters, even though the story doesn’t progress as fast as I would have loved, it’s still great. The friendship between those three is described really greatly. And how just ne confession could shatter it is really real.

I liked this manga, even though it’s not finished yet, for the whole school life and friendship that it shows. It’s a big roller coaster of feelings and school life that can’t make you stop reading. I do not think I’ll be reviewing this manga again, as I didn’t really love it to that extent, but it was an amazing distraction from the whole studying for my exams. But I do think that it’s an amazing story. And I really want to know how it all will end.

I hope you’ll find some time to read this story. Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews and promos here, on Katie’s Corner. Maybe you’ll find your next favourite read! Happy reading!

XOXO
