[Review for entire series]
STORY:
My initial expectations for this manga were low. I thought it would have a bunch of cliches, annoying love rivals, and syrupy-sweet shoujo moments. This surprised me with few cliches, sincere love growth, and a likable love rival. I wouldn't even call him a love rival; he was more of a playboy with a heart of gold. I was pleasantly surprised by the characters and story.

However, this manga desperately needed a supernatural, horror, and tragedy label. Issho ni Neyou yo got so DEEP! I mean deep as in “dark.” Once the manga reached a certain number of chapters, junk got serious. It made me whine, “Can a scene stay happy for more than three pages!?” The child abuse scenes were a bit jarring. I NEVER saw the dark scenes coming! One moment everything would be fine and, the next, the mom would be trying to drown her baby alive. Many of these scenes could possibly be triggering. One time a sweet hug turned depressing fast. Of course, a scene of a gun placed to Ichiko's head, and Kohaku wanting to beat the gunman senseless was hard to watch. Another scene where a boy being beaten with high heels and a wine bottle was a bit brutal. There was even a subverted suicide attempt. Even submerged in the darkness, Issho ni Neyou yo never lost its lighthearted charm and humor. The bonds between the tenants were heartwarming to watch.

The main premise is the small mismatched family of tenants who all have their reasons for staying there. Besides Kohaku, everyone had fairly normal, non-feels-inducing backstories. Ichiko's reason for leaving was a bit over-dramatized. I guess the mangaka wanted it to be over the top to showcase her innocence. Anyone who has had younger siblings or taken care of babies will understand Ichiko's so-called unforgivable mistake. Thankfully, that plot was cleared up quickly. I am so glad because dragging it out longer than five chapters would have been ridiculous.

CHARACTERS:
I enjoyed all of the characters except that demonic teacher. I wish Tsumoto and Haruka would have stopped with those groping moments. I swear neither of them had personal spaces issues. I guess there had to be some fan service.

The main character, Ichiko, was my favorite. It's so rare for me to like the main character more than the side characters. She was sweet as candy and a bit mousy, but I love that she had a feisty side too. Ichiko was such a hard worker and so loving which was why everyone called her motherly. I adore that she was so honest. She always kept it real with Kohaku even letting him know he scared her at times. She called him out when he needed discipline but never shunned or hated him. Ichiko did cry often, but, with all the horrifying events that happen, her tears are justified.

Kohaku was a close second for favorite. Honestly, his character development and the BURNING DESIRE to see behind his mask kept me hooked.

To be honest, none of the other characters really get developed, but they are charming in their own ways.

ROMANCE:
The love story between Ichiko and Kohaku (and the love rival) was placed in a slow cooker until the final arc. I like how things had to develop and how shy their love was. This love made Kohaku want to stop his arrested development and be a doggone man (i.e grow up).

ART:
The art was great unless there was a close-up on someone's eyes, especially Ichiko's. In close-ups, the eyes were so lifeless—They just screamed yandere. On a positive note, I loved Ichiko's outfits! They weren't overly frilly and looked comfy.

OVERALL:
Such a brilliant read from beginning to end. The reveal of Kohaku's face was well worth the wait. The characters, Kohaku's back story, and the light humor balanced with darkness made this a favorite of mine. My only semi-qualm was

I waited forever for the big kiss, and it wasn't that “big.” On the other hand, I liked how the kiss was gentle and subtle. The exact type that fit those two well.

I enjoyed reading this manga over two days. I recommend reading this underrated manga.
I finish with this:

“I will not be unhappy.”- Kohaku
