He’s a hard worker, but he’s also clumsy. Subaru is looked after by Hikaru, the son of the landlord of the apartment where he lives. Bright, kind, and reliable, Hikari is truly my true love! I want someone to take care of me like that! I’m sure I’ll be overwhelmed. We hope you’ll keep an eye on the bumpy lives of these two! “Landlady’s Hikari-kun” is scheduled to be updated every Wednesday on the girls’ and women’s manga app Palcy. ▼Post and search using the work hashtag: “#Landlord’sHikari-kun”! ■Episode 1 Preview Reading
