The story is a little haphazard and this could be a manga thing. The hero is waiting and expecting for things to happen and the heroine is tired of waiting around. Miscommunications abound and the hero adorably makes a nuisance of himself and stays with the heroine and her aunt till he decides on what is most important. It's also fun to see natural mommy moments by the heroine. As slow as the romance is, this is a good read for a sunday afternoon.
