In Volume 1,  a young woman is sent to the Zodiac Dormitory by her sister with the admonition to “Take care of Alice.” And so, in Koudou Ryou no Seizana Hibi, Volume 2 (黄道寮の星座な日々), by Canno, the new Virgo, in a dorm where everyone goes by a Zodiac sign name, has two mysteries to track down….why is Gemini so opposed to her joining and who, exactly, is Alice?

In case you cannot instantly guess the answer to the above two mysteries, let me assure you that I am about to spoiler the heck out of this story…

…they are the same mystery.

In this volume, with the help of the other girls at the dormitory, Virgo tracks down a lost diary written by the former Virgo about how she fell in love with a teacher and, after graduation, married him.

In the meantime it’s all fun and games, except Gemini will not give in and the rule is that there needs to be a complete consensus on new arrivals. But, of course, this is a rom-com, so eventually we get the whole story which is, yes, that the previous Virgo, new Virgo’s sister was the girl who left to marry the teacher, only there was another student at the dormitory who was in love with her – Alice, also known as Gemini.

This Virgo and Gemini decide they are in love with one another, as well, but Gemini assures her that she does not see Virgo as a shadow of her sister and we all live happily ever after.

Except.

One.

Thing.

If that girl were truly a Virgo, this story would have been over almost immediately. “Ohhhh, you must be Alice, ” she would have said to Gemini about 2 minutes after meeting her.  ^_^;

This is a very cute series for which I needed to take my brain away, in order to enjoy. I forgot to do that, so it was cute and might be forgettable except she chose to make the protagonist a Virgo. Had the signs been reversed, I would have accepted the story as written. ^_^
