Manga editor Asako Suga decides moving into a new home is just the thing she needs to get over a painful breakup with her toxic ex-girlfriend. She finds the perfect place for rent—affordable, spacious, lovely garden included—but there’s one catch. The house comes with a live-in landlord!

It’s disappointing enough that Asako can’t have the single life she hoped for, but her cute landlord also seems to be hiding a big secret...

Will living together bring them closer, or turn out to be more trouble than it’s worth?

Monthly in the Garden with My Landlord, Vol. 1 by Stephen Paul, Elena Pizarro Lanzas, and Yodokawa Yodokawa explores this intriguing setup with humour and heart.
