Aruite Ippo!!

high-schooler saionji has moved into a boarding house with a really cute young landlord named sakura, who also attends his school. though it's really near the school, the place is pretty broken-down and all the other tenants are strange women. they include little hana, who wears costumes in public, a sloppy, lazy teacher, and his slightly uncivilized schoolmate akira. living in the boarding house does not help saionji's reputation at school, but he has a huge crush on the landlord. will he be able to handle living with all these bizarre women, and somehow win sakura's heart?
