In short - it's a very good story, deliberate, with strong plot, good background, unexpected twist or two and quite interesting characters. There's nice sense of humour. It's far from cliche you'd expect looking on the cover (and rating). If I had to complain I'd like to see a different ending, I mean it's open and it feels like there's too many unsettled things. One extra chapter could fix that but well, whatever. It's good as it is. In general there's just one problem - the art, it's not particularly ugly, but it's old fashioned and too plain. it's just boring.

Same goes for other Takaido's works, they're soooo underrated simply because her characters lack in appeal. It's very unfortunate. I guess a lot of people won't read them expecting sth at best average inside, so... don't judge a book by its cover, at least not Takaido-sensei books, they're worth to read.

I'm a bit indifferent towards the story; it felt a bit incomplete to me, especially with the unresolved business between the first and third brothers. Even the development of the main couple was kinda rushed and imo unnecessary. Toura could have simply remained as a new member of this family without getting romantically involved with another brother, and it would still have been a fun, warm, and heartfelt story.

The characters, on the other hand, are quite well written and they provide a lot of the fun. I love their dynamics together - both when the brothers are still a quartet, and when Toura later came into their lives. The humour is great, the atmosphere is nice. The only thing I'd ask for is proper development on both story and characters. A second volume could have easily fixed this, but.. alas.

I've read this a long time ago and I was kinda hestitant in finishing this...
The cover was a bit unappealing to tell you the truth...
But now that I'm more of a mature reader, I decided to pick this up again..

The plot is great... I didn't expect events to take turn in that way...
I fell in love with the brothers and their unique characters..:
It was fun and heartwarming...
Definitely a reread and I definitely recommend!!!

Really heartwarming, the brotherhood thing and none of the is annoying. But I hope it can be longer so I can enjoy it more. Esp the eldest and the third <3. Although the eldest said he is hetero

Another nice manga after Breakfast Club! But the family line thing seems complicated! Their dad is really a frivolous man! But it's good to see that all of them are happily together even though some of them are half brothers. If only there's more volume! :>

Oh I loved this one. Very heartwarming and slice-of-lifeish.

Good characters,needed a bit of development though, and I would´ve loved a story about the older brother and the third son. Plotwise it had almost all the ingridients, I wish it would´ve been longer, so we maybe could´ve met the dad and the moms and so on.
The art is good, not wow, but good. You get used to it as you read.

Recommended.

Interesting. Engaging. Probably because once again I got hooked with sensei's art style. The characters, yeah, I have to say for reading the first chapter, they are engaging enough that ones want to know more about each of them, especially Shinnosuke, their new housekeeper. What's the real reason he's there other than what was stated. He is maybe the fourth?

Read it and you'll probably think about it also.

Definitely, I want more scanlated chapters to come soon. Pretty please...
