Emotional read with or without yaoi  
by Lillian

Rating: 7.5  / 10.0
It has a touching and heart warming story incl. a little family drama that the late yaoi part was not necessary. I'd have given the same rating with or without the displayed sex.

You'll know from chapter one how it will end, so just enjoy the show in-between. Don't miss out the extras.

Isnt it a big turn off to see a kid every now and then? Hence why I cant make myself to like the series. Everything is so-so, plain characterizations, plain conversations, and the art isnt that good either.... or maybe because I dont think the idea of raising kid is that interesting.

Story - great! Art - bit stiff

The story was really good. It wasn't original, but how the story was told made it flow well. Nothing moved too fast, and while there were a lot of cliches, they were done well. I liked that the uke wasn't a typical uke crying "'no, no!'," nor was the seme "I'm doing you even though you're saying no but what we're doing's not rape because I like you." Basically, I like that it's mutual consent between the two, and that their relationship isn't dominated by either character.

Now, the art. I liked it. I really did; however, at times the characters felt a bit stiff, mainly because she was inconsistent with the jaw length and because she never left a space in the line where the jaw met the neck. I also wasn't thrilled with the way she drew the characters eyes; more than half the time I thought they looked blind, yet when she took the care to distinguish the pupils, they were nice. I also wish she had drawn more backgounds; there was too much empty space. An empty backgrounds good if you're using it too emphasize the character's expressions, but otherwise, you start wondering where they are.

But, aside from the fact that her artwork is a bit stiff, I really liked the character designs. The men looked like men, not flat-chested girls. I'm sure if you read yaoi, you've come across this.

Overall, if you're looking for something to fill a couple hours and you're tired of reading one-shots (most BL that I've found to be any good is no longer than a volume), this is it.

One of my Favourites

I don't normally feel comfortable giving 10/10 because i don't beleive anything is perfect. However, this is one of the few manga i feel comfortable giving full marks to. I read this some time ago and was touched by it. I remember it clearly despite having read it just once so far, but its definiately a manga i will be re reading. First of all, the characters are well built - they have strong personalities but don't feel overbearing, and also they have just the right touch of back story to make them interesting without being too transparent. The chemistry between the characters is also excellent. As for the story - its rather original for yaoi, but its also very sweet and really does reach out and touch you. The development of the story is also well paced, not too fast but not so slow as to make you lose interest.

If you would like a break from all those deep or aggressive yaoi's i would recommend this. Its not fluffy enough to make you sick but has just enough to make you feel lifted. Read it XD

Although it is billed as an adaptation from Yachin Hanbun no Ibasho desu, this manga can definitely stand on its own. naukan's review is spot-on, with the addition that I see so few mangas that deal with parenting I have met people like Chizu's mother, who wasn't really able to bond with her child. Some people just aren't cut out to be parents and I was so glad that Yoshioka was able to help Oosawa step up and make Chizu theirs.

Very entertaining, very thoughtful. Thank you to the Mangaka for an excellent read.

this manga has both a young child, and a straight man turned gay, usually warning signs for me to expect some serious schmalz and ridiculous antics. but instead it's actually very well done. i didn't care a whole lot for yoshioka when i first encountered him as the unfaithful cod in yachin hanbun no ibasho desu, but asou redeems him very successfully here.

i like the slow pace at which the romantic relationship develops; there's no overnight conversion here. i also enjoyed the character of the child, and how yoshioka grows into a father. i was gonna say this was quite realistic, but there are two levels to that. despite their problems everything works out pretty smoothly, nobody opposes them (not even the child's mother and new husband), and while the relationship progresses slowly for BL, oosawa spends no time worrying about the gay thing, and it doesn't actually take long in real time. if only, eh? that's not terribly realistic. but there were sufficiently realistic aspects to it for me to take its seriously, and to feel emotionally moved -- no huge amount of faux drama and angst, oosawa didn't have annoying uke characteristics; just some pretty normal apprehension. and there was no forcing here, and no utterly stupid misunderstandings driving the plot, just people making entirely reasonable decisions that were sometimes just not the right thing to do. oh yeah, and the art is nice too, and the sex scenes are not gratuitous but hot. overall this was the perfect thing to read at the end of a particularly depressing day.

Probably the very first BL manga that has dealt with a straight man becoming gay because of someone else in a fresh and original way. These kinds of things do happen in the 'epiphany' way you see in other works but it appears to be the only way that is dealt with in BL manga, most likely because it is the easiest. A slow realisation is very appropriate for Oosawa's character, and Yoshioka is a qt. Well-paced and tender, one of my favourite works!

Very cute! I usually am not one to read manga with kids in it, but I'm really enjoying this. The characters are lovely and the story is heart warming and sweet. The daughter in the story is also very adorable. Such a sweet personality. It's a great slow moving story. There are some misunderstandings about one of the characters at first, but even then the one who misunderstood is never judgmental or mean about it. It's dramatic, without being melodramatic and silly. They grow close slowly and believably. I really enjoyed the father/daughter dynamic and Yoshioka's relationship with Chizu as well. The best part for me was how wonderful their little family was at the end. Just a great and enjoyable story to read.

Heart-warming, Excellent Manga

Asou Kai's works are generally pretty good, but this work is definitely one of the better BL manga written. With two volumes, the pacing is on the spot, and we as readers can really see the gradual transformation of Oosawa's feelings. As a hetero male, the mental conflicts and complexity of being pursued by another man are depicted very well, which is usually the failing point of many BL manga that pursue such pairings. The entire process feels very natural, and there is no rush to the smut- although, with Asou Kai, you can be assured of well-drawn steamy scenes.

More than just a story about Oosawa and Yoshioka, the real delight of this manga is the story about Oosawa and Chizu. The father-daughter dynamic is treated just as important, and Chizu is a fully developed, adorable character that lights up the entire manga. My only criticism, if I had to give one, would be that the couple scenes between Chizu and her mother were a tad contrived, and clearly designed to pull on the reader's heartstrings, but even that is forgivable because they were still done very well and fits inline with both the mother and Chizu's personalities.

This manga has a little bit of everything, and although it is only 2 volumes, it is full of substance, and reading it really took me on a long journey with the characters. There is comedy, romance, angst, and a good dollop of smut. Highly recommended.
