Like the manga itself, I'll keep my review short. I didn't have a lot of faith in this manga and by the second chapter I thought of dropping it (just because it seemed like the characters and the story weren't connected) thank god I chose not to. The third story, the one about the girl who couldn't get pregnant, made me emotional. The whole plot wraps surprisingly good. I recommend all of you reading this to give this manga a try, it won't take you more than an hour or two to finish it and I think it's worth it. PD: my only complaint is the existence ofthe "peeping tom" character, he wasn't relevant to the plot, he was there only to gross you out.
Kogure-sou is a crumbling old apartment building of just six rooms where four people live. On the first floor are the owner, a very old man who wants to have sex before he dies, and a girl in university who pines in a sad and complicated love. On the second floor are a salary man who finds meaning to his life in spying on the university girl below him, and Mayu whose boyfriend disappeared three years ago. Also involved are the florist from the nearby shop who worries over her husband’s infidelity and Mine who is still troubled by a crime committed a long time ago. What all of them strive for is love, but they all find nothing but pain and bitter disappointments. Do they realize that what heals them is actually the run-down little apartment building and the real human warmth that they share with each other? (Source: Aerandria)
