Otonari wa 1-ken de 2-do Oishii

Azusa Akimoto harbors a deep, quiet affection for her school’s student body president, Ousuke Kobayashi. Despite the intensity of her feelings, the thought of actually confessing to him feels like an impossible dream. She is content to admire him from afar, assuming their lives will never intersect beyond the hallways of their school. That assumption shatters the day she discovers Ousuke has moved into the house directly next door to live with his uncle, who works as a novelist. Fate intervenes when Azusa is unexpectedly offered a part-time job assisting the two neighbors with their daily household chores. Recognizing this as the perfect chance to bridge the distance between them, she eagerly accepts the position, hoping to finally grow closer to the classmate she has long admired. What begins as simple domestic work quickly transforms into a complicated new chapter of her life. Living in such close proximity to not one, but two handsome young men introduces challenges Azusa never anticipated. As she navigates her daily routines alongside them, the boundaries between employer and neighbor begin to blur. Balancing her hidden crush, her new responsibilities, and the constant presence of two attractive men proves that getting closer to her dream might be far more difficult—and unpredictable—than she ever imagined.
