I enjoyed this however I feel like this is going to end in some form of heartbreak. Kuroe is a friend in my head. I feel bad for Uta and her clueless brother. Also I feel that Kaoru is hiding something. This was a solid first volume but due to the subject matter I am not sure if I want to continue the series. ( )

Uta has a crush on her brother's wife, made all the more complicated because she has moved in with the newlyweds following her parents' messy divorce. Amusing, heartbreaking, and heartwarming in turns, the story actually seems complete by the end of this first volume, but the series goes on for another six books. It's a fairly strong ensemble of characters, so I can see wanting to continue with it. And I will, though my library only has one more, alas. ( )
