After plenty of twists and turns, Serizawa and Sam-soon finally start a real relationship.

He dives headfirst into his job search with the goal of eventually proposing to Sam-soon, but is he alone in worrying about their financial differences?

Review:

It feels a bit like we've forgotten the beginning plot of this series, and are now just reliving this guys bad dating history. It's quite depressing at this point.

Serizawa gets into a serious relationship with Sam-soon after all that mess, and they're practically living together. His downfall in this relationship is really that he's too timid and they're both too afraid to voice their worries and wants with each other. He pulls back because he's worried about becoming a burden on her and trying to find a job, and she starts thinking he doesn't want anything more with her.

It's a common conflict, and it's frustrating when it could so easily be fixed.

Their breakup is just sad. Also, seeing his struggles with finding a job is so real and stressful, I hate it.

After that, he finds a job at a nice, friendly company, in which he starts to form a friendship with the boss' daughter. Nana and Nana, a sweet innocent girl and a mean up-and-coming singer-songwriter. Serizawa is still getting over Sam-soon, and sweet Nana wants help with a plagiarism case for the other Nana, which is possibly going to lead to some trouble. I don't really know if either Nana is a good fit for Serizawa, but we'll see how this ends.

The next volume is the last, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this series finally wraps up.
