Nakimushi Ooya no Mikuru-chan

Driven by a simple yet earnest dream to live in a town with a view of the sea, twenty-eight-year-old Aoba entrusts his entire relocation to a real estate agent. He never even inspects the property beforehand, only to arrive and discover that he has been saddled with a remarkably shabby apartment. Baffled by how drastically the reality differs from what he was promised, Aoba is ready to walk away. However, the building's landlord, Mikuru—a young man characterized by his short hairline and thick, bottle-bottomed glasses—desperately pleads with him to stay. Ultimately, it is the breathtaking ocean view visible from his room that convinces Aoba to accept the living situation. When Aoba goes to inform Mikuru of his decision to remain, he is met with an unexpectedly endearing sight. Removing his heavy glasses, Mikuru weeps tears of pure relief, revealing a surprisingly adorable demeanor beneath his anxious exterior. Captivated by this moment, Aoba finds himself genuinely charmed by the landlord's heartfelt dedication to managing the rundown property. Touched by Aoba's willingness to stay, Mikuru begins quietly contemplating ways he might be of use to his new tenant, setting the stage for a gentle and heartwarming dynamic between the two.
