Read the full take

After being kicked out of the main dorms for bringing in a stray cat, Kanda Sorata is forced to live in a smaller dorm. That premise is a funny, cosy start, and the series builds its warmth on a boy who ends up sharing a home with a cool, enigmatic classmate. The cat, the dorm and the eccentric residents give the story a lively feel.The strength is the cosy tone. The cohabitation comedy is warm and funny, and the cast is memorable. The everyday moments of dorm life are charming.The weaknesses are clear. Some ecchi moments feel out of place, and the art style is simple. Readers wanting depth may find it light.Recommended for readers who enjoy cosy school comedies with a quirky cast. Expect a warm, funny ride.
