Before I get to talking about the first book, I said below that I didn’t like how Hagiwara’s friend was written to start drama. I didn’t read the other book he was in until now so now I know that Yura does like Hagiwara. However, that is not shown in the first manga, so for him to be acting like an ass and for Maki to be jealous before you find out from reading the next book just makes them both look really petty and frustrating to read. Either way, I still hate that "trope" so much. It really dose not matter to me why he was an asshole. Overall, I thought this was cute. There were some sweet moments and I loved the family dynamic of it all. But there were a couple of things that pissed me off. Firstly, I never liked how people can’t have friends in BL manga without the lover being jealous of the friend. Hagiwara’s friend never acted like he was coming on to him or anything, they were just friends and Maki was jealous because he was hanging out with his friend. There’s also a point later where the friend got villainized for no reason other than to start “pointless drama”. The way he was later written and how Maki acted didn’t sit well with me either. I think the author was trying to go for something emotional and sad to make you go “awww I feel for them” when it just had me like “uhhh everyone’s being a bit problematic”. There are better, more emotional ways to have the mother be a point of conversation to touch on without the need to start pointless drama. Another minor thing that is just a pet peeve really, is the thought that Hagiwara had about not having a family because they’re both men. I would love for adoption or “found family” to be a big part of bl/gl manga so we can stop seeing this dumb thought be something to worry about. Lastly, the extra story. It was kind of dumb and not needed. It felt shallow like the only reason to write this short story was for the sex alone. Which, that ending sex scene I was not ok with at all. I do want to buy this as I need more family-oriented lgbtqa+ manga but I did wish I didn’t have to give it 3 stars. In the end, the only people that matter in this book are Ritsu and Kana. God bless these sweet baby boys!

ko-fi • Instagram • TikTok **I use the CAWPILE rating system created by BookRoast to do my reviews Character - 5/10 While I loved this development of Hija understanding that family doesn't need to be blood, there was not much character build. I had no really reason as to why I should like the characters. They just seemed so ordinary. I mean ritsu was absolutely adorable but when it came to our main characters. Nothing really called out to me. Also I felt like their relationship just happened. Atmosphere- 5.5/10 N/A - there just wasn't enough there for me to judge by. Writing/Art Style- 6.5/10 The art style was simple and the writing style was very elementary. I guess after reading Therapy Game, Vol. 1 I have high expectations now. I just did not see the art style being that great. As for the writing style, translations definitely was lacking in some areas - misspelled words, incorrect statements, etc. It wasn't horrendous but I definitely felt like the art style was a lot more simple than what I am used to. Plot- 7 To be honest there was not much of a plot. I mean they got together...but that's about it. There was no climax to the story, no issue that needed to be solved. Literally any issue that was handed was solved in a matter of seconds. I loved the idea of the plot revolving around finding lost family, and loving a child that is not your own. I just felt more could have been drawn from it. Intrigue- 7 There were definitely things that could have been better. More suspense, more drama. It literally was so easy for these characters to be together. And it definitely is a more cute fluff read rather than anything angsty but I wish there was something annoying! The only suspense was Miko telling off an employee but even that was too convenient. I just wanted to care about something! . Logic -7 You don't get to really see the development of the relationship between Hija and Miko. It just happens. One page they are friends the next they are dating. Also everything just handed down and was far too easy for the characters. Enjoyment- 7.5 This was a super cute fluffy read and it definitely brought me out of my foul mood. I loved the dynamic between Ritsu, Miko, and Hija. It was definitely light hearted. Nothing too out of the ordinary or original but still cute.
