Living-Room Matsunaga-san, Vol. 10

リビングの松永さん [Living no Matsunaga-san] #10

by Keiko Iwashita

A causa di particolari circostanze familiari, la liceale Miko si trasferisce presso la pensione dello zio. Il primo giorno non inizia nel migliore dei modi: lungo la via verso la nuova casa s'imbatte in un tizio dall'apparenza poco raccomandabile che comincia a seguirla! Ma era tutto un malinteso: il "tizio" in questione non era un malintenzionato, e non la stava seguendo; semplicemente stava tornando a casa – la stessa di Miko, in quanto Matsunaga – questo il suo nome – è un giovane designer che vive proprio nella pensione dello zio, assieme a una schiera di altri inquilini piuttosto... insoliti. Come si evolverà la nuova vita di Miko lontano dai genitori, a contatto con adulti stravaganti e bizzarri? Riuscirà ad adattarsi a nuovi ritmi e nuovi impegni? E soprattutto... che rapporto finirà con l'instaurare col brusco ma premuroso Matsunaga-san? Finalmente i sentimenti di Miiko per Matsunaga-san sono corrisposti! Anche se lui le dice che potranno iniziare a frequentarsi solo dopo il diploma, Miiko si sente tranquilla perché sa quanto il giovane tenga a lei. Nel frattempo, Matsunaga-san decide di lasciare la share house per dedicarsi a un importante lavoro che gli è stato assegnato. Il trasferimento è previsto subito dopo la festa d’addio, ma il designer si presenta da Miiko e...?

I can’t wait until I’m finished reading this mess. If the problematic age gap (because she’s a MINOR = power imbalance) that makes me have absolutely zero respect for the ML isn’t bad enough, we now have Hojo shooting his shot into harassment. Obviously it’s great they’re the same age and all, but she’s turned him down SO many times now. Let her live, man! Take her no already!

I'm giving this book five stars because it made me feel so many emotions.

I found this volume a little bittersweet because of that cliffhanger and because I know that the next volume is the final one. I wonder how things will be tied up and if the important stuff gets resolved. I do wish there was a different conclusion than the one I know is coming, but the main couple is on the cover so there isn't much that can be done.

I think, also, this volume really showed the female MC's age and how their age gap can be a downfall for them. She wants her love interest to succeed, but with the naive notion that her needs can be put aside for his work. And he is understandably busy, but I wanted to shake him every time something new came up.

I'm both excited and wary of the next volume, but here's hoping! *crosses fingers*

Happy reading!

[K · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, that's a nice cliffhanger, when I won't be able to read the final volume for 3 more months. (I could try digitally, but I don't know if I'm that impatient or not...it's pretty obvious that Meeko will turn Ryo down for the third time, and she and Matsunaga-san will have some sort of an emotionally fulfilling reunion.)

I liked this volume a lot more than the previous one - there was some particularly great stuff with Ken and Asako, and those final scenes with Ryo ripped me to shreds - but I can't quite bring it up to 4 stars because everything feels so rushed.

Matsunaga-san just moved out, and over the course of this volume, Ken announces that he'll be moving out, too, and then so does Asako. And they're both gone like...a week later? A month after Matsunaga-san had left?

I get that there's a limited amount of time left before Meeko graduates and the story's forced to its happy conclusion, but good grief, no matter how long you've known a person, you don't switch from friendship to dating and then to living together over the space of like, a week. I love that progression for them. I think they're a surprisingly good couple, and I appreciate how much Ken genuinely cares about and understands Asako, and how she feels free to be fully herself with him - something that probably wasn't the case in her first marriage. But all of this should've taken place over a few months, at the very least.

Why so rushed? Basically to strand Meeko with no one to turn to for emotional support but Ryo, which creates some Drama for the final volume.

It's not bad as a plot line, honestly...Ryo wouldn't get over her that easily, and it's natural for the two of them to start clinging to each other when they're feeling lonely, with all their other friends moving on without them, in rapid succession. But it is a little bit forced, and it was particularly ridiculous to introduce a new housemate with severe social anxiety who would somehow immediately confront Ryo about something as deeply personal as his feelings for Meeko.

I'm not sure whether she's meant to be Ryo's new love interest - she's 20, the same age as him - but that would definitely be way too fast to wrap up in one more volume. Then again, with the pace of the last two volumes, it's possible......

I guess things dragged on too much in the middle of this series, so everything had to be zoom zoom zoom at this point. It's a bummer because there's actually a lot of great stuff happening now, and I wish it'd been given more space to breathe. And kicking everyone out of the house at all once is just...a rough choice. To me, this was never just "Living-Room Matsunaga-san" - it was a story about six housemates of equal importance, whose relationship with each other was the heart of the series. Not only are they basically all gone now, but Ken and Asako got such a lame sending-off party that Matsunaga-san didn't even show up.

He's in the "too busy with work to see his friends or his not-quite-girlfriend" stage, which is realistic but also kind of a bummer. Missing the going away party for his two good friends who are now basically engaged is a lot. Missing his girlfriend's 18th birthday is a lot!!

I guess they'll just have to resolve this by Meeko moving in with him again so they can see each other while he's working...which will leave poor Ryo completely alone.

The poor guy. Iwashita accidentally made him such a likable character that the only option was to destroy things for him, I guess...

Maybe I will be tempted to read online before getting my preordered physical copy, just so I can see what Ryo's future holds. I already know Meeko and Matsunaga-san are going to be happy, so I'm not too worried about that, but I hope Ryo won't just end the whole thing in crushing defeat.

And I'd like to see more of the other (ex-)housemates, too. I already miss them. It's kind of a bummer to end this series just saying goodbye to everyone...I guess I can understand how Meeko feels, standing in the rain at the end of this volume, feeling a hole in her heart. She hadn't spent that long with these people, when it comes down to it, but they're very easy to get attached to.

Нещата в тази част вървяха изненадващо приятно и сладко, но към края пак се насъбра ненужна според мен драма, заради която ще сваля с малко оценката. Не може ли да си караме в стил "Всички се разбрахме вече, няма драми", дявол да го вземе :D

Uh, dieses Drama jetzt muss echt nicht sein >.< war aber vorher zu sehen. Ich mag alle Charaktere so gerne und hoffe sie bekommen alle ihr Happy End! Und bitte macht die ganzen Bemühungen der letzten 9 Bände nicht kaputt >.<

[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two stars is harsh, but this transition period was irritating to read. Meeko is already having issues with insecurity and Matsunaga working so hard, despite her resolve and understanding from before. Girl, maybe you need to get some hobbies of your own! And I’m not happy that Hojo has been pushed by the new girl (who I thought would be his love interest) into moving forward. I understand wanting to get closure, but it’s very unrealistic to expect it to always be that straightforward in relationships. Giving someone the advice to pursue a love interest who is already in a relationship is questionable when you aren’t well acquainted with the parties involved. This love triangle makes me want to put off reading the next volume for awhile.

I’m glad Ken and Asako resolved their issues, but they moved so fast that it felt like the author just wanted to get them out of the way. Boom, we’re dating and moving out together starting next week. What??

Reseña de los 10 tomos:
Nuestra protagonista Miko se ve en la necesidad de mudarse a la pensión de su tío, esto para poder continuar sus estudios sin preocupar a sus padres quienes cuidan de su abuela.
Antes de poder llegar a esta pensión se encuentra con uno de los inquilinos a quien confunde con un asaltante debido a que la sigue y su expresión facial.
Al llegar a la residencia el problema se soluciona, así es como se le presenta a los demás inquilinos, Asako -una manicurista-, Akane -una chica de pocas palabras-, Kentarou -un barista, Ryou -un estudiante de medicina y por último Matsugana- un diseñador gráfico-. Miko es la más joven de los inquilinos, es por esto que Matsugana se puede observar en la necesidad de cuidarla por sobre los demás, en especial al ser nueva en este lugar, podemos notar como ellos se vuelven cercanos debido al ser los que pasan más tiempo en casa y por el cuidado del chico. Debido a esta cercanía Miko comienza a enamorarse de Matsugana, el problema principal es la diferencia de edad, al Miko menor y Matsugana mayor, esto trae mucha inseguridad a la protagonista lo cual le impide poder confesar sus sentimientos.
Por otro lado podemos ver a nuestro protagonista masculino Matsugana quien debido a experiencias románticas del pasado se niega a ver sus sentimientos por Miko, esto cambia en cuanto aparece un segundo interés amoroso, Ryou, quien se comenzó a enamorar de Miko y se niega a soportar las lágrimas derramabas por la chica. Esta amenaza hace que Matsugana entienda sus sentimientos y de paso a una confesión, sin embargo, debido a la diferencia de edad y tiempo de vida, deciden esperar a tener una relación formal.

Poco tiempo después nos dan la noticia que Matsugana decide dejar la pensión para comenzar de una manera formal su compañía de diseño, Miko se muestra con miedo a que los sentimientos cambien debido a la distancia, pero el chico promete hacerlo funcionar a pesar de la distancia. Así comienza la vida de Miko sin vivir con Matsugana, en este tiempo podemos ver como las personas de la residencia también tienen problemas amorosos, Ryou al estar enamorado de Miko, Asako y Kentarou descubren estar enamorados el uno del otro, pero ninguno decide dar una paso más y por ultimo la hermana de Akane, siendo la nueva inquilina y aparentemente sintiendo atracción por Ryou. Fuera de los problemas dentro de la residencia podemos ver los problemas en la relación de Miko y Matsugana, esto debido a la falta de tiempo con la que ahora cuenta nuestro protagonista, esto provocando su distancia con la chica, al punto de tener que dejarla plantada para su cumpleaños y otras citas. En este tiempo quien le ayuda a no sentirse sola es Ryou, ambos se volvieron bastante cercanos al ser los únicos inquilinos antiguos que siguen en la residencia, también por los sentimientos de Ryou quien al ver a Miko decaída decide mostrar más sus sentimientos, pasar más tiempo con ella y hacerla sentir amada, sin embargo Miko a pesar de agradecer estos sentimientos y momentos su mente se encuentra únicamente en Matsugana, con estos sentimientos decide no dejar que la falta de tiempo se interponga en su relación con Mastugana.
Gracias a esta decisión podemos ver como ambos comienzan a tomar su relación de una forma más madura, ajustándose al horario del otro y no dejando que esto afecte sus sentimientos, hasta el punto en el cual por fin Miko se gradúa y puede comenzar a vivir con Matsugana.
Opinión personal:
Tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados con la historia, claramente me ha gustado como se desarrollan las historias de cada inquilino y en especial de triángulo amoroso.
La amistad y familiaridad entre los personajes/inquilinos, se me hizo demasiado lindo, considero que fue la familia encontrada para ellos, el cómo a pesar de los años pudieron mantenerse unidos y ayudando a los demás es algo que lleno mi corazón.
El final lo sentí demasiado apresurado, en unos capítulos estaban todos los problemas y el nudo de la historia, y al siguiente ya todo estaba solucionado, fuera de esto la historia me gusto, jugo con mi corazón a su manera y como quiso, en especial con el personaje de Ryou, quien sin duda en mi personaje favorito y a quien más ame en esta historia.

Oh man, this one is so emotional. It starts with Meeko seeing Matsunaga’s apartment for the first time. He even got her a coffee mug with her initial on it!

Then we go to the welcome party for Matsuri-san. She has social anxiety, but everyone does their best to make her feel welcome, little do we know that more will be leaving soon. After the party, she confronts Ryo about his feelings for Meeko, and this seems to have a major influence on him for the rest of the volume.

We have a major development between Kentaro and Asako. She is finally honest with him and they become a couple. He cuts his hair, and leaves his “playboy” ways behind. They then decide to get their own place. So now they will be leaving as well. It’s really said, to watch the group disbanding, as they had so much love between them all.

Matsunaga is extremely busy, he even misses the going away party for Kentaro and Asako after saying he’d be there, and spending the night no less. After the party, Ryo invites Meeko to go with him to a shrine since they are both so down about everyone leaving. While there he asks Meeko to depend on him more, causing her to feel some relief, but then he tells her that he loves her, and Meeko makes it clear that she love Matsunaga.

Matsunag is still insanely busy, and now he misses Meeko’s birthday, and they were supposed to got to Kittneyland. This is when things start to get a little more intense on Ryo’s end. It’s like he knew Matsunaga would flake out, he finds her in the rain, depressed. Once he gets her home, he asks her again if to be a couple with him. He says, “You don’t have to love me, but I love you so much, I can't take it any longer.” He is so sweet and so earnest, and Matsunaga is totally neglecting her, it’s hard not to feel bad for Ryo. Furthermore, he really pays attention to Meeko, and it’s obvious he cares about her. So it’s hard to watch him pine for her.

So it ends on that note.

Supporting cast volumes always get me down.

I realize that big plots require build up and transitions. I realize that an author may want to tie up old plot lines to make room for a bigger one. However, I'm not one to care much for supporting cast. They are a tool to me to move the main relationships forward. When they take away from the main storyline, it feels like the author has lost the plot. This is my bugaboo, and doesn't indicate a failure, usually, on the part of the author. I'm a cynic. I see outside storylines as distractions from the main one. I understand that a new couple was formed, change happens, and events around our heroine need to feel real. It seemed to me, though, that Matsunaga's busy schedule felt artificial—that the mangaka was simply keeping him out of the way to create a complication. Then a new romantic entanglement appeared, which couldn't have occurred without Matsunaga being MIA, which made me feel as if I had been right all along instead of cynical.

Beyond this line there be spoilers ☞

A few thoughts come to mind because of this development. Isn't it realistic that somebody's new business would keep them busy? Why then did it feel artificial to me? Because I could guess what was going to happen. (I also don't like the new love interest. Wishy-washy characters annoy me.) Perhaps if the plots had overlapped a bit more than they did—less conveniently segmented. Perhaps if the old "please-date-me-I-don't-care-if-you-don't-love-me" trope hadn't reared its overused head. Perhaps.

The art was as good as in previous volumes. The cast is lovely to look at. The faces communicate so much emotion thanks to the illustration skill of the mangaka. This was a good volume. However, it's not one I enjoyed reading no matter how vital it's developments were for the next story arc. As I write my own story, I'm very curious to understand why this volume felt so flat to me, and wonder how to avoid similar pitfalls. I'm curious to hear if others agree with me.

***Whole Series Review***

It’s not perfect by any means. There is a very large age between the Meeko and her love interest. Which isn’t bad... but she’s underage; in high school. He’s a grown adult. 

That part really messed with my head, but I tried to remember that not only was it fiction, but other cultures differ from ours and have different standards for things. So I let it go. It wasn’t like they were having sex... he barely even kissed her and told her they wouldn’t even officially together until she graduated high school. So I mean... that’s good...

Moving on!

The art is simple and beautiful! I love everything looks realistic, nothing crazy as seen in a lot Shonen manga. I like that! I always prefer more Shojo styles. They are softer and more romantic. 

This series is very slow moving between our two main characters, so to make up for this, we get little side plots between other characters that live in the boarding house and I really enjoyed these! I fell in love with these characters and it hurt when they finally moved out of the house. I felt Meeko’s pain at being left behind. 

The mangaka did such a great job at making these characters feel real and I loved Meeko got to see that even though they are all adults; they don’t have their shit together like teenagers often assume. 

This is a cute manga that hooked me. I couldn’t stop reading. I still feel that Ryo-ken deserved better than what we got, but not all endings can be happy, I guess. 

If you like manga, or are thinking about diving in, this is easy to adjust to and sweet as can be.

This volume was good. More or less, what I expected to happen with Masanaga and Hojo happens. I’m happy Ken and Asako got together but it felt a little forced like the mangaka was clearing out the house for “season 2” with a “brand new cast” or something…

It was also kinda weird how we didn’t even see the faces of the two new boarders, which make it seem even more of an excuse to focus only on the main characters…

I’m disappointed with Masanaga, though… even if he is super busy, he could have at least spared an hour to have coffee or lunch with her on her birthday. At least have her come over for a bit… I mean…. come ON, dude! Your sort of girlfriend finally turns 18 and you can’t even see her for 5 minutes?? Honestly, he deserves to lose her to Hojo.

Honestly the more I think about it the more the way things were rushed with the new tenants bothers me… tempted to knock off a star. I also found it out of character for the super super super shy girl to tell this dude she JUST met to stop lying to himself or whatever it was. That was also majorly contrived. Like the mangaka wanted to make sure he’d move in the gap that Masanaga left but didn’t think he could do it on his own… honestly I think Ken saying something (again) would have made a lot more sense.

I know it’s hard balancing a bigger cast, but this was definitely sloppy.

I’m still looking forward to what happens next, but eh.

[Sequoia Cron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh no... so volume 11 is the last volume. I kind of feel like there's a lot that's going to happen in such a short span.

Matsunaga is super busy with his new job and, not in a mean way, is blowing off plans because he's so busy. Asako and Ken-chan are finally together and have decided to move into their own apartment. Which leaves Ryo and Meeko as the last of their group, behind with a couple of new attendees in the boarding house. Time passes, and it's Meeko's 18th birthday. When Matsunaga gets distracted by work again, Ryo steps in and confesses to Meeko.

We are left on a terrible cliffhanger, and I didn't purchase volume 11 right away, so I'm mad at myself.

I do like how the author has stuck with the revolving door of the boarding house. Nothing is permanent, people will move on or change, etc. I think it really helped with Meeko's growth so far, and you can see her changing in these few volumes.

I do, however, wish she would give Ryo a shot instead of just sticking with "the first love," but with the story ending with only 11 volumes I know she's going to turn him down and stick with Matsunaga.

Which is fine! I just might be a little biased because I prefer Ryo over Matsunaga.

I'm looking forward to volume 11, and I'm also sad that this series is completed.

4.5 stars

Ho letto questo volume alla velocità della luce (e farò lo stesso pure con il prossimo) perché non vedo l'ora di portare a termine questa serie e farla sparire dalla mia libreria.
Mi sorprendono i giudizi positivi che ho letto in giro. Non capisco se sono io che mi sono fatta sfuggire qualcosa oppure no. Eh vabbè, de gustibus.
Tutta la faccenda tra Kentaro e Asako mi ha lasciata perplessa, mi sembra spuntata fuori dal nulla. Comunque sia, contenti loro, contenti tutti. E quindi la share house saluta pure loro.
E poi c'è il povero Ryo, di gran lunga il personaggio migliore di questa serie, che continua a struggersi per una piattola che non lo ricambia. Lo dico e lo ripeto: caro ragazzo, prendi la gatta e scappa. Meglio gli animali delle persone, fidati.
E per quanto riguarda la coppia principale...mamma mia, che strazio. Miiko non mi è mai piaciuta particolarmente, ma nemmeno Matsunaga mi ha mai impazzire. Ora vediamo come evolve la loro relazione visto che non vivono più insieme - due vite che si muovono su binari diversi, una studentessa e un tizio sommerso di lavoro.

Bene, leggiamo alla velocità della luce pure l'ultimo volume, almeno chiudiamo la questione il più in fretta possibile.

Living with Matsunaga ist mir heilig, weil es, mein Wiedereinstieg in die Welt der Otaku war … nach 15 Jahren Abstinenz.

Und es gibt kaum einen Shojo, bei dem ich jedes Mal so krass emotional werde 😅.
Es fühlt sich an, als würde allmählich jeder seinen eigenen Weg geht und das ist schmerzlich und schön zu gleich und weil meine Emotionen damit überfordert sind, muss ich manchmal ‘n Tränchen verdrücken. Was sehr ungewöhnlich für mich ist! Aber ich fühl die WG irgendwie richtig, auch wenn ich nie selbst in einer gewohnt habe. Haha.

Der nächste Band wird der Abschlussband sein und das spürt man definitiv, denn der Konflikt hat sich bis zum Höhepunkt zugespitzt und wir leben jetzt erst einmal mit einem gemeinen Cliffhanger. So hab ich das definitiv nicht kommen sehen.

Der Grund, aus dem ich diese Reihe so mag, ist der große Slice of Life Anteil in den typische Shojo-Elemente verwoben sind. Zudem mag ich die langsamen, aber stetigen Entwicklungen. Und hab‘ ich erwähnt, dass ich die Charaktere alle so gern habe?

Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn, auch Band 10 war wieder ganz zauberhaft. Meinerseits ist das ganz klar eine Empfehlung. ♥️

I made an account cause I needed to share feelings. I’ve been enjoying this series a lot and am quite the simp for Hojo-san BUT I hate how simpy he’s become in this book!!! I can understand him not being able to move on so quickly from Meeko but to a certain extent I just kinda want him to get a grip. As I noticed in some other comments, I also thought Hojo-san and the new girl were gonna have some developments so when she’s like “girl don’t give up” LIKE WHO ARE YOU.

Being in a “long distance” relationship where you don’t see the other person often cause of their work is really hard, I’ve been there so I appreciate the realistic approach the author took but to have Hojo show up and ask her to get in a relationship with her???? BRUH. I’ve been appreciating the less toxic approach of characters in newer series but mans really needs therapy.

Bref, im really excited for the next volume to be released to see what happens next but I need Hojo to get a grip. I also kinda hope we have a bit of a time jump or something since we don’t seem to be getting introduced to the new roomies dynamics.

Una sèrie d'amor que aconsegueix presentar una relació amb una diferència d'edat de 10 anys (17 la noia, 27 el noi) com una parella cuqui, tot i que és una premissa molt complicada si no s'aborda amb delicadesa. Potser no m'ha costat gaire d'assumir perquè l'edat mínima de consentiment a Espanya són els 16 anys i perquè l'evolució de la parella és respectuosa, lenta i versemblant (tot i que hi ha dinàmiques que no molen gaire...). Els personatges secundaris són adults, viuen tots en una casa compartida i aporten certa gràcia a la trama principal. Com que és una sèrie llarga en algun moment perceps que s'està allargant el xiclet i que hi ha drames innecessaris, però és força entretinguda de llegir. Això sí, el final és massa abrupte, es resol tot en l'últim capítol i s'omet la part de la història més interessant: quan la Miko és major d'edat i pot començar a sortir amb el Matsunaga de manera oficial. Crec que el recurs del salt en el temps està massa suat i no funciona en aquest cas: necessitem més detalls!!!! :(
