After a workplace incident forced her to quit her job, Koduka ended up in a deep depression and three months behind on her rent. Her landlady comes calling and offers to exchange sex for her assistance with Koduka’s problems.
Except her problems might just be beginning… This seems to be a week where books are pulling a fast one on me based on the expectations they’re setting with their descriptions.

Make no mistake, Koduka is over a barrel here and she does indeed take Landlady (I will be referring to her as such for the review because of reasons) up on her offer. So this is clearly about to be some smutty book where an older woman is forced into trading
sex for rent as she struggles to figure out her life… or is it? Turns out that this story’s really good. There’s definitely an uncomfortable viewing of this where Landlady used her leverage over Koduka to get sex, but there’s more to that story and Koduka did technically agree to it (and not get drunk beforehand, at that). It is most certainly not just its premise. Koduka is a disaster - she is clearly grappling with depression after her job went sideways and everything about her
life has fallen down in the meantime. So when Landlady offers her this extensive favour system to provide ongoing debt relief for services of any kind, not just sexual, Koduka says yes and gets a roomie in the bargain (which may not make sense on paper, but I assure you this might be the only manga where this actually makes a modicum of sense to occur). The two make quite the pair because Koduka’s (supposedly) straight and has no intention of repeating their night of passion, but it turns
out that Landlady has no intention of doing so either. Which might seem weird, except these are layered characters that spend literally 90% of the volume in an apartment and are still really interesting. Landlady is not straight and very up front about that, but, while she certainly did the deed with Koduka, she turns out to have a lot of regret (and general melancholy about the loneliness her orientation has caused her). And it might just be that she’s after something more than sex (we actually know this pretty early on). There’s a lot of hinting that the reason Landlady regrets the sex is because her feelings run a lot deeper and the offer might have been an opening she took, to her own dismay. Which ends up leaving us with two people who might just be saving one another and the balance of power there is only such because, domestically, Landlady is a far more put-together adult, but her caring for Koduka ends up setting the latter back on a path towards functioning adult. It’s always great to see a yuri book that doesn’t shy away from lesbian issues and Landlady has an absolutely awkward encounter at the mall that features some nasty prejudice (beware the well-meaning, yet ignorant high school acquaintance) and features Koduka both standing up for a friend, yet also being forced to confront some truths about herself. Not to say it isn’t silly - it is (this is probably the only time I’ve laughed at anybody playing a Mario Kart clone). Or very awkwardly charming - it is. Or isn’t steamy at times, cuz it certainly is. And hey, I have massive respect for a book that starts off about sex and isn’t super tawdry about it, but also doesn’t pull a huge fake-out later on like somebody being too tired or chickening out and it never actually happened. Do I want to read more of this? Oh yes. Awkward set-up aside, this is tackling things in a way I haven’t seen yuri do before and both these characters make a great pairing and are good on their own besides. Neither outshines the other and that’s a job well done in my book. 4 stars - is the essential reading? No, probably not. It has a premise that you may not be able to see past, but there’s a lot more to this than meets the eye and, whatever I was expecting, what I got was a lot more nuanced than those expectations. ...more
Did I see this at work and
immediately put one to the side for myself because it had two females on the cover and was marketed as a slow-burn romance?? Maybe I'm excited to see where the series goes. It's really fun and cute and if you get the chance I would suggest picking it up (but only my girls, gays, and theys)- I don't want no hetero boys sexualizing this too much cause I want to enjoy some silly lesbian shit pls and thanks.

some previous knowledge and feelings about koduka, which makes the pining very sweet. while their situation does stem from that uncomfy start, hara does hold back and even stops koduka multiple times when she seems to be feeling overwhelmed. hara also quickly seems to feel very remorseful, ending with a heartfelt apology. there are even some more serious topics tackled, like homophobia/prejudice, setting this apart from a lot of the super fluffy GLs I've read with the 'yuri paradise' trend. tldr;
icky premise, but a surprisingly cute and also steamy romance with some super sweet scenes. the art is also amazing imo - I really love the style.

having consumed far to much alcohol after quitting her job at a video game company. Given the choice to do favors for the landlord of an intimate nature to reduce her debt Chiyo discovers herself waking next to her in bed even though she is not into women. Did the landlady do something wrong by using her power to convince a drunk Chiyo to sleep with her while she was drunk? Yes, Yes she did and in the real world there would be legal consequences (especially considering the debt reduction
contract which could have been used as evidence. However this is also a story about one heartbroken woman (from what I guessed by her quick glimpse into the past about why she quit) and a younger woman who has never really found love thanks to society labeling her as abnormal for liking other girls trying to make a connection with one of her tenants whom she believes she is in love with and comes up with this terrible but strangely effective plan so they can get to know each other better and
maybe even get closer. Regardless of the terrible reasoning of a 19 year old landlady using sexual favors as a means to pay back rent (although she often marks off parts of the debt for non intimate reasons too) I do like the chemistry between the landlady and Chiyo as they begin to do more together and fill the gaps they find lacking in their own lives as Chiyo discovers herself trying to be there more for the landlady as best she can. I can't say too much more to avoid some spoilers but
between the character interactions and nice art style I really enjoyed this book.
Hm, idk. I don't really like Chiyo much. I'm probably gonna continue the manga, but I don't have high hopes. The cliché would be that Chiyo ends up developing feelings herself, and letting her lesbian side finally awaken. That's fine, as lon I don't really like Chiyo much.

That's fine, as long as they won't get together – which will likely be the case though.
Quick and easy reading. Even though the plot starts rather fast, you can feel the development throughout the chapters. Good volume to start to know the characters, for more depth you need to read volume 2. Besides the provocating name and plot, this volume is a sweet and light. I would also recomend because of the beautiful art!

Ah, the ever-classic drunken one night stand meet-cute. The premise of the landlady's "service" contract is so out there it can never happen, but it's so logical (albeit slightly illegal I
believe) that it's oddly believable. At least in manga that is. While it is an odd start to a relationship, it works. The story flowed well and the characters were realistic and complimentary to one another, and the mystery of Landlady-san's affection for Koduka is curious, it left me wanting to know more.

One little irk for me though was that Koduka was a bit of a crybaby. And please know I don’t say that lightly as I
myself can be emotional at the worst and best of times lol. The art was cute and airy and didn't show anything particularly naughty in detail but I would recommend this manga for mature minded readers. But I guess the title is a hint at that already, wink.
I wasn't sure about the setup for this story since it seems like the kind of situation where
someone would be taken advantage of, but the story ended up being a lot sweeter then I expected. It's a very well written and tender story. The sort of comfortable read you might like while curled up in warm blankets and wanting to just be warm and happy. It's very cute and the characters are written very well.

From the title, I was expecting more sex, but I liked the way things are going. Twenty-four-year-old Koduka Chiyo quits her job and is three months behind on her. Her landlady will reduce the costs and help her, if she has sex with her.

flashes of memory later on. Each time Koduka does something for the Landlady she will cross off a number on the calendar. As we continue in the manga, is it hinted that the Landlady has feelings for Koduka, which could be the reason as to why she is doing what she. The Landlady also seems more put together than Koduka, such as cleaning and cooking, which one wouldn't expected mostly because Koduka is older. I picked this up because of the premise was different and the characters
were older instead of high school. I wonder the LandLady met Koduka before somewhere and thats why she already has romantic feelings, which Koduka is completely obviously about. I am not sure how many volumes this will be but I am looking forward to see where it is going and how their relationship changes.
So I want to start with the dissatisfaction of the introduction of the so called “deal/contract” it was far too short for me. I understand why it was written the way it was, basically to help set the mood of
Chiyo making an embarrassing decision she doesn’t remember while drunk, however I still think there should have been more of a tone set up in the beginning vs a chapter or two in. Don’t get me wrong though, I still enjoyed the manga and will be reading the second one for sure! I was just alm Don’t get me wrong though, I still enjoyed the manga and will be reading the second one for sure! I was just almost turned off to it after the first few pages gave me the wrong impression. I’m hoping we get more explanation to some plot holes like the
landlady secretly being in love with Chiyo, but having no interaction with her…that we know of besides paying and being late on rent. Unless Chiyo has some mind blowing skills that’ve made her fall in love after one hook up lmao.

This manga is so cute (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) At the beginning, I will admit that I was somewhat worried there would be an unhealthy power dynamic, seeing as how the story revolves around a landlady and her tenant, specifically the former's one-sided love towards her, but a point is made to ensure that consent is followed and that she does not make the former do something she is
uncomfortable with.

This aspect is very much appreciated, as I have seen several yuri mangas refrain from even considering consent when writing relationships. Towards the end, it is clear that Koduka starts to question if she has feelings for Hara, as she realizes after their kiss that she enjoyed it. Alternatively, Hara notes that she "can't go back" to the way things were previously. This sets up an excellent cliffhanger for the next
volume, which will hopefully bring the two closer to having an actual relationship.
This series makes my heart melt; I already am a sucker for this type of contractual-connection trope, and the sweet circumstances of their relationships development actually left me feeling very swoony, not creeped out like the initial description may lead to you to believe. I think in the states a lot of manga gets glossed over because it has a humorous, suggestive title, but once you actually give it a chance most of these stories are extremely raw and emotional underneath the goofiness.

Like others said, the premise sounds really bad, but it's actually really cute and sweet. I binged it all in a day where I wasn't feeling well and it really helped cheer me up. I love Ms. Landlady so much... Now it's on my

Sounds fun. I would like to see some character depth. The art is okay. The chemistry between the main characters is nice.
Yes it sounds like the start of a pornhub plot...BUT it's actually really cute. Gonna stick with this one for a bit and see where it goes. Yes it sounds like the start of a pornhub plot...BUT it's actually really cute. Gonna stick with this one for a bit and see where it goes. ...more
