Love Brings You Home deserved more stories. All of the characters were great - though my personal favorites were Taiyo and Arata.

He reminded me of Sekai from RMD. Super sweet and caring.

A man in pink is great for an otome game. Kengo moments when he’s wearing Hazuki’s clothes and the confession is cute, but at a bad time for the MC’s heart.

Oh my, if that isn’t a fitting a love confession for those two 😂😂😂

-Love Brings You Home: Hazuki Main Story is NOW AVAILABLE-

The cunning Hazuki has come knocking. 

His sly charm has you eating from the palm of his hand. You agree to be sleeping buddies, but only under the condition that it stays innocent. You now have yourself a pillow to snuggle with every night...

Voltage Men at a Glance: Arata Yuki (Spoiler Free)

Trope: Tsundere, Grouch

Weakness: Communicating Straightforwardly

Stories released to date: “His Main Story”, “His POV”, and “A Romantic Stroll”

For character reviews: Voltage Men at a Glance

The Story:

After a long day of work, you find a stranger on your doorstep demanding to live with you because you have his childhood piano. No further explanation, just a stubborn refusal to part with the piano since you won’t sell it to him. But when a prowler is on the loose in your neighborhood, you welcome the roommate. After all, not only is he your bodyguard, but he makes all your meals and cleans the house. At night his piano soothes your weary mind and body. What could be better after an exhausting day? Or will this prickly pianist grow to find a more permanent place in your heart?

Their Relationship:

He and the MC are in different points of their lives. He has tasted the height of his career, while she is still working through the everyday grind hoping someone will finally see her efforts. With a solid dose of Voltage MC naivete, she continues to work herself to the bone waiting for her big break only to have her boss crush her dreams on a whim. At her lowest he is there to pick her up and acknowledge her work. That’s really all she wanted.

He on the other hand has seen the lengths to which people will go for their own selfish goals. He after all had been collateral damage to someone else’s ambitions. As he tries to find his passion again, her morality and dogged perseverance helps him believe in humanity again. He had been so let down by himself and others, and she helps him find a way to be happy with himself and his dreams again.

Given that neither of them are good at communicating in the way the other understands, they still have far to go as a couple, but they give you hope. Together they are relatable in their passions, disappointments, and happiness.

My recommendation:

I have so many good things to say about His Main Story and His POV. Both are definitely worth buying at full price. They read as two halves of one complete story. There is so much of his story that isn’t seen by the MC, and therefore not by us. His POV allows us to see the depth of his existential crisis. I really found it relatable given that there are times in our lives where the rug is pulled cleanly out from under us, and we struggle to rebuild some semblance of self. The soundtrack highlighted the struggles and uplifting moments in his route. The feeling of home is really pushed in this concept, and it’s executed very well. As usual the MC does have some of the classic Voltage MC issues, which makes her annoying at times, but together they fumble and cobble together a true slice of life.

His Romantic Stroll route ended up being a let down given how strong the first two stories were. It was an extension of their struggle to understand one another, but it felt more like an exercise in frustration. It is a story that can wait for a sale.

Love Brings You Home - Liam Kurusu Review

Ooooh, a shojo manga artist! I love this concept so much so I was very excited going in. I wasn’t too sure about Liam’s personality at first, but I ended up LOVING the route a whole lot. Let’s break it down.

OVERALL RATING: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

ART/MUSIC: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡ - MC has no eyes again :(

STORY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

STEAMINESS: ♥ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

LOVE INTEREST’S LIKEABILITY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

MC’S LIKEABILITY: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

DO I RECOMMEND THE ROUTE: YES. YES. I love this one!! It’s a great one to start the series with (if you don’t mind some cliché scenes / want the nostalgia factor)

Liam is… definitely sexy. They throw this at you like two minutes into the route. 

(They know I’m thirsty, lol). 

I like his cool attitude a lot more than I want to admit. He ended up being really endearing. If Arata is like a cat, then Liam is like a dog. When he gets flustered, it’s absolutely ADORABLE. And he’s so soft inside, so sweet. Ugh. He is my ideal boyfriend.

So the pair end up living together because Liam needs to finish a chapter of his manga, and he’s stayed here before with MC’s grandma. I think this is the most believable reason so far, since he has an established relationship with the grandmother and didn’t expect her granddaughter to be here. I think it’s so sweet that he learned to cook from the grandma and so MC gets to taste her grandma’s recipes again. My grandma passed away a few years ago and I still miss her and her food so much :(.

I mean, the concept for the route veers into slightly-ridiculous zone when Liam is all “you need to help me think up story ideas since you ruined my notes” and “pretend to be my girlfriend” but hell, I kinda like the cheesiness. What’s an otome without at least one kabe-don, right? :p I actually enjoyed the familiar, shojo-manga tropes. It felt so relaxing to read and made me giggle occasionally. There is some drama, but it’s nothing too crazy. Certainly not life threatening like some other routes haha. The ending was a bit weaker than the others, but eh. The rest of the route was great, so I’ll forgive it.

HE SAID THE GOLDEN WORDS. #challengeaccepted.

I think MC and Liam have fantastic chemistry together. I definitely like her in this route, but she’s been pretty solid throughout the entire title. She has ambition and is a little feisty, which is awesome. Together, the pair work really well and it feels so natural. Sometimes I’m left at the end of a story wondering how the heck a couple got together when they’re so at odds, but this one doesn’t give off that vibe. It’s comfortable, it’s smooth, and it’s no wonder that they fall for each other.

It was around here that I started earnestly gushing over Liam:

It’s a fantastic message to send too.

And it was here that I completely fell head over heels:

Ugh. Find you a man that talks to cats. <3

Final thoughts: This is my favourite route from the title, hands down. To me, Liam is a perfect mix of Arata and Taiyo. I really, really recommend this one. I would put up more cute screenshots, but I don’t want to spoil too much. Also, maybe I’m just weird. A lot of people seemed to like Taiyo much more than Arata so feel free to take my opinion of Liam with a grain of salt, haha.

I just have to say, I really like the tone of the stories in this series. They’re all so fluffy and lighthearted. I usually like a bit of steam in my stories, but I don’t mind the lack of them at all. They also include some very great ideas about loving yourself and taking care of yourself, which isn’t too common in Japan due to the stressful demands placed on many office workers. LBYH displays healthy relationships, with partners that actually (well, eventually) come to really respect and treasure one another, and support each other throughout life’s tribulations. The stories really brighten up my mood when I read them. :) I hope they can do the same for you.
