Likes: funny comedy, east to watch, fun characters

Dislikes: nothing happens, ok style and animation, ok soundtrack, the setting is forgotten quickly, no satisfying conclusion.

Super Short Review:
Have you ever wanted a middle school student as your landlord?
Well Maeda a young adult never wanted this but didn't regret it afterwards thanks to the fun shenanigans he gets into with his landlord (Chie) and neighbour Reiko, though when I say “shenanigans” it mainly revolves Chie growing up as a person while also recovering her childhood, since because of her work she can’t experience events children her age would do.  

The series as a whole is very light-hearted with some interesting themes, mentioned above, that well within each episode despite them being only 2 minutes long each. There is very little development due to this but there is some which came off as a surprise considering the nature of the show, though even with these themes the series is easy to watch and can be funny at times although this depends on your sense of humour.

However this is all the series has going for it, since absolutely nothing happens by the end of the series, with no ending that I felt was satisfactory and no second season in production, while the setting is completely forgotten. Plus even though characters are fun to watch, there design is poor and bland as they are easily forgettable; not to mention even the art style is quite boring despite have a cute look and animation is of average quality, though the soundtrack is okay with it mixing well into the scenes that take place, which also applies to the show’s opening as well.


In conclusion if you’re looking for a quick watch that doesn't require much though, this show is a great way to spend a good 20 minutes, however if your longing for something longer this show is not for you. 

Final Scores:
Setting/Story: 6.2
Characters: 5.2
Art/Animation: 5.1
Sound: 5.9

Final Verdict: 5.6/10 (Average)
