Decent story overall, but the unneccessary drama quotient on this one is pretty high. I don't see why the girl who is married to his dad doesn't just tell people she has a fiance that she loves who lives another town over or something. But no, she doesn't say anything and the main char's friend keeps going after her creating uneeded drama. Contrived situations like that always annoy me, which unfortunately means I'm annoyed reading most manga's, lol.

30 people gave this manga a 10
22 gave it a 1
Why? It's not like it SUCKS, the art is probably about a 6/10, characters are about a 5/10 and storyline is about 7/10, still it has that borderline-h factor so the rating would be a bit higher for most people, in other words it would be at least a 6.

I'd say give it a go, it's not bad like Sakura Tsuushin. It's more of a relaxed ecchi manga that's not centralized around serious romance.

So far the concept with this manga is rather unique out of all that I have read so far. For all of you thinking that this is a disturbing manga, please grow up. The main point of this story isn't about an older guy f#@king a 16 year-old girl. The focus of this manga is on relationships between the two characters (Ryou and Imai) and--like Ryou--the reader will come to understand the relationship between his father and Imai. It's more of a son-getting-used-to-a-new-mother story with a twist. In fact, I wasn't even bothered by Imai's relationship with Ryou's father as it is a much sweeter relationship than one would think.

Anyways the only thing I found that detracted from the story was some unnecessary ecchi here and there. But other than that, this story seems to be portrayed quite realistically and I haven't found any plot holes whatsoever.

Give this one a read. However, I recommend that you should read it with an open mind.

Yes I like the story. The protagonist confused at first for his feeling for the same age mom but eventually realizes he just learning to develop parental LOVE!
About the Sex part. Its not visually illustrated in the manga the part when Imai and the Doctor did it. All I can see is Imai being attacked by her sickness and the doctor helping her out. Besides they are husband and wife so they are free to do it so.
Cant wait to see the Protagonist and HARUKA ( his girlfriend) do some action! Ya!

The MC's girlfriend when faced with the idea that he was cheating on her with the classmate she believed him even though it seemed so suspicious yet when she told her she was actually his mom that was when she couldnt handle it anymore?!?! :S
She somehow felt threatened by a mother figure than a potential girlfriend which makes absolutly no sense to me.

What's kind of interesting is that this exact subject is brought up in Skip Beat, where everyone is all butthurt while the girl is in highschool, but as soon as she graduates no one gives a damn. It's a bloody story, and while a 16 year old marrying a 40-ish year old might not settle with you, get over it, it's legal in Japan and in most US states it's legal. Don't rate a series low just because you don't agree with the subject matter like some moral crusader, rate it low because of the story. You're the same kind of idiots that would disagree with something that was proven right just because you didn't believe in it.

Up to chapter 6 now, and we know nothing about the circumstances that surround Imai and her situation. What we do know is that she is 16. Practically an adult and all you guys can do is be judgmental. "Oh she's too young for that!" "Oh she's throwing away her whole youth!" "Oh she just had sex with an older man. How disgusting!"

Seriously. Come on.

And the son is trying his best to grasp his head around all of this while maintaining his own tumultuous life.

*Rating not final.

It seems that the story is missing something....

for me its disappointing...not satisfied with the ending...I liked it first but I want the mother to fall in love with the son..

maybe i'm just a shoujo addict...

Did not want to read this one to begin with because of how others of its kind end up. But i have to say so far that this is a good one and is not the same old thing.

For one yes the girl sleeps with the guy who is between 30-40 years old but he shows compassion after realizing that it is pain full for her when making love.

Also the son has the chance to have sex with his girlfriend and after noticing that she really isn't ready for it backs off and just sleeps with her instead of just forcing It onto her
.
If you stay with it and read chapter 7 you learn that it is Imai that fell in love with his dad and not his dad that forced himself on her. Sure he could have said no to her and pushed her away but you can't really force yourself not to fall in love with someone and with as much time as they have spent together its probably mutual.

Also i may be naive or dumb but it seems to me that the son likes her but want's to only help her. He already sees her as the person married to his father not a person to hook up with.

It's an interesting concept... The characters are believeable enough, there's a nice story going on... Overall, it's a good one... I have no qualms about 40-ish guy marrying a 16-ish girl, I mean, each person should be responsible for their own action right... So what's to argue about?
