Karigurashi Renai: Living on Borrowed Love

The protagonist, Takuma Setoda, returns to the town where he grew up. He's come back to break away from his dependence on his parents and start living on his own. The town is filled with memories from his childhood. Takuma had always longed to return one day. Finally, he successfully convinced his parents, fulfilling his dream of returning to his hometown (and living alone)! However, when he arrives at the rundown old house where he used to live, ready to start his new life, he discovers that the home from his memories has become so decrepit that it's completely uninhabitable—a total ruin! He needs to find a temporary place to stay to continue his studies... but there's one problem: he's flat broke. With nowhere to turn, Takuma is at a dead end. Just then, a helping hand is extended by none other than his old childhood friends!! It can't be a long-term solution, but it seems their families are willing to let him stay with each of them for a short while, rotating between their homes. Although one of his friends makes her disgust clear and strongly objects, Takuma somehow manages to persuade her. And so begins a strange, bizarre, and unconventional "boarding life."
