椿町ロンリープラネット [Tsubaki-chō Lonely Planet] Series by Mika Yamamori, やまもり三香

Fumi Oono, second-year high-school student. Stuck with the debts of her father, she needs a job—fast. While she did indeed manage to find one as a housekeeper for THE Akatsuki Kibikino, it leaves much to be desired. After all, the novelist has a mean glare and an even worse attitude...And on top of that, she has to live with him?!

When Fumi started her job as the live-in housekeeper for acclaimed and very crabby author Akatsuki Kibikino, she never thought in a million years that she’d get along with him...yet here she is, heart fluttering at every tiny gesture! But she’s got no time to dwell on what it could all mean—with her dad out of commission despite the loan looming over his head and the new kid at school treating her like a gopher, Fumi’s got more than enough on her plate already!

暁のことが好きだと気付いたふみ。日ごと、思いはつのります。時につれなく、時にやさしい暁の言動やライバル(?)桂さんの登場に気もそぞろなふみ。さみしさがつのり、思わず暁の前で涙を流してしまいます。それを見た暁はふみを…?

Fumi finally figured out how to interact with Akatsuki somewhat normally after realizing her growing feelings for him—only to be met with a rival! How is she to compete with an adept working woman determined to snag a handsome, popular author?

暁に抱きしめられたふみ。暁への恋を諦めようとしていたのに──。心は乱れたまま夏休みに突入! 暁と悟郎について京都にいくことに。ところが悟郎が仕事で帰ってしまい京都で2人きり──!!

Summer vacation arrives with Fumi’s heart still in turmoil. Despite this, she accompanies Akatsuki and his editor Gorou on a trip to Kyoto―but when Gorou suddenly has to leave, Fumi winds up alone with the object of her affections!

Akatsuki Kibikino may be a celebrated novelist, but putting his feelings into words has always been a struggle. Kaneishi’s blatant advances toward Fumi put Akatsuki in the foulest mood—that much is obvious. The reason he’s bothered by the thought of Fumi liking someone else, however, continues to elude him…That is, until there is an unexpected confession from Fumi at the summer festival! With her feelings finally out in the open, how will he respond?

After receiving what seems to be a silent rejection to her confession, Fumi had resolved to erase her feelings and power through her heartbreak… when Akatsuki finally answers—by asking her out! Despite the change in their relationship, however, their daily lives seem to remain largely the same except for one key aspect— if living with her crush was bad for Fumi’s heart, it’s nothing compared to living with her boyfriend!
