A very lighthearted atmosphere that makes you just smile for the rest of the day. The characters are realistic and not exactly your typical shoujo. The female heroine is perhaps my favorite of all the other heroines. She is smart, clever and not wimpy. She thinks and cares. She makes me smile with her little silly actions or her smart ones where she takes care of the two adorable twins. They make me smile too. The male lead is also likable, an adult who knows his boundary well.

Of course, it is shoujo and there is romance in it but it isn't I love you at first sight. There is development over a pretty long period of time. They get to know one another and they slowly bond. Definitely slice of life. We can just see some of this manga happening in real life. The care for the children, the orphans... A nice little read to escape from the other massive amount of crazy manga. Sweet and simple, an escape from reality...

delves into the sentimental a bit, but a light, sweet read. the lead is a 'good girl' with the distinction of being- at least- reasonably intelligent. the male lead is hot. there's no other word for it. it's pretty episodic, but we learn a bit more each chapter and the awareness of attraction between the two is snail slow- fitting for such an age gap story. everyone's so down-to-earth it's hard to fault the slightly excessive sentiment. very pleasant, not demanding at all and perfect as a diversion during the wait between updates of my favorites.

This is probably one of the best manga with little kids inside that I've ever read. I find the plot really warm and throughout the manga, you can see the kids growing up and learning things along the way. The twins are really cute and the main characters are sweet and funny. If I have to point out, the main plot is supposed to be centered on the twins and Shiharu's progress along the way, instead of Shiharu and Matsunaga. Their romance is just like a bonus kinda thing. I do hope there's a spin off with them getting married and all tho. Well if only. But nevertheless, I really enjoyed reading this!

This in fact is my first ever manga, at first I wasn't fond of it as I have never experimented with any type of manga but as the chapters progressed I've learned to love it. This story is very unique and all the characters are so well thought of. I'm a romantic comedy type and this fits my preference perfectly. I suggest all those who love a bit of drama, romance and a good laugh to read this because believe me I will never regret starting it. I'm hoping this series continues on for a long time. It's a 10/10 from me.

yes, it made me cry more than twice. the main character is sweet, but not boring sweet, and you actually can feel her pain and loneliness.
the characters are very well built and the kids, OH THE KIDS... they made me laugh more than i intended to.
give this one a try, you won't regret it

I absolutely love this manga! It's hilarious and adorable and perfect! It's a sweet manga with babies and a slow, cute romance. I recommend to anyone who just wants to giggle for a bit.

Love So Life was a favorite back in the day, back when I dived into it unknowing the kind of story it was to become.

I wanted a slice-of-life romance with a babysitting subplot. I got a full on babysitting plot with hints of romance. I wanted Shiharu and Matsunaga to truly be the leads of this manga. I got Aoi and Akane as the hero and heroine with Shiharu and Matsunaga as side characters. I wanted an age gap story that would show the progression of how these two managed to start a relationship and overcome societal obstacles in their dating lives. I got a romantic subplot that chickened out towards the end and ended with a late reunion.

I think the twins are adorable, but I did not expect them to become the story. I love Shiharu and Matsunaga. I didn't get to know them as much as I would have liked. If you're expecting this to be an age difference romance, it is not. It has hints of such a story, but, disappointingly, we never get to see much of it for ourselves.

This manga is awweeesssommmeee. Being a guy, i'm not usually into Shoujo stuff, but if you're into cute things or nice stories, then i highly, HIGHLY recommend this.
Those damn twins are killing me with their cuteness. More so than when i read Little House With an Orange Roof with the two little kids.
A very light-hearted manga (so far anyway..) which is a nice read

Oh my goodness!!! This is such a refreshing read, the cutest manga I've ever seen in my life, I can relate to the girl because I love children and I'm in an Early Childhood magnet in hihg school preparing to take care of kids my self. BUt besides that the kids are so adorable!!! And funny, teh story about the girl is sad and I tend not to like tragedies but it looks like shes finding her own happiness in these bundles of joy.

So kawaii and lovely
I don't like the fast love as love at first sight, i like slow, slow love like in this manga. It so cute when see two people attract and develop to loveby time pass time.
The twin so very very adorable, you can't stand with their cute.
Story so good, I like "slice of life" so this manga very fit with me, althought sometime I feeling I'm reading Yotsubato other version, but it's ok for me to continue.
If you are a fan of basic shoujo manga (not smut and insant love or something like that, blah blah), you can try to read it, I bet you will like it immediately.

This is debut of mangaka, I hope she will make it to long series, and if adapt to anime is so wonderful XD

I'm only comment for titles I love so much, so I give it 10/10, cause its very, very good manga
