Plot

When Mayumi loses her fiancé to her only friend she leaves everything behind, running away to make fresh start as a junior high school teacher in the countryside where she doesn't know anyone. But when she arrives there she gets tangled up with a Rin, a brash but kind single mother who runs the boarding house Mayumi is staying at, after they end up falling into the ocean together. While the two women may not have a lot in common, they're still drawn to each other, and the relationship growing between them is deeper than either expect.

Reception

The series has received generally positive reviews. Anime News Network gave the first volume of Days of Love at Seagull Villa an overall C+ rating, remarking that the series "feels like it may be biding its time a bit, and with the unsettling end to this book and the groundwork it lays down, this may be one of those series that gets better as it goes on."[7] Erica Friedman of Yuricon noted in her review of volume one that "without landlady Rin’s jocularity, this story could and probably would have bogged down" but was overall positive towards the series. However, by its final volume Friedman felt that the story could have been explored further "it feels like a book that could have become another deeply disturbing series, but was cut off (early? perhaps, I can’t tell) and given a happy ending."[8][9]
