Don't bother

I've read two volumes of this long shoujo series. It's a cute but mediocre slice of life.

I was quickly bored by the sweetness and adorableness of the twins and annoyed by the girl's Mary Sue understanding of stereotypical "happy" family life.

There's no significant romance, and from what I've read of other reviews, there never really is. It's just too juvenile and overly simplistic for me, without any outstanding art to redeem the lackluster, conflict-less story.

Good but too long

by wishing_star

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

I would recommend this manga if you're looking for a good slice of life. The characters were lovable and no annoying characters or drama. It's mostly a manga that focuses on family and babysitting. The twins are truly adorable. I did find that the manga to be too long for what it is and a bit disappointed with the romance aspect, as it didn't have a big part in the story. In conclusion, I do considered it a cute and "feel good" manga, but readers in search of a solid romance would be disappointed.

Dissapointing

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

Ok I know this is a shoujo genre and i already expected that the romance would be slow. But come on the ending was very AWFUL. If the author wants to write a manga about child rearing like 'Gakuen Babysitters' then theres no problem for me. But you gave the fans false hope and then suddenly launching a scene were the main guy proposes to the girl without proper follow-up. I started to hate the manga after that. I was delighted at first but there were no couple growth at all after that. The female MC is ambigous regarding her stand to the male MC and it keeps dragging down. If you want to read about a manga about the bliss and hardship of child rearing then go ahead but the romance in it was terrible!!!!

This could be only 3 volumes

by kousora

Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

This should've been 3 volumes: One or two volumes to explore the main character, one volume for the twins, and one volume for the male lead.
However, instead, this dragged on and on for 17 volumes and seemed like a manual on how to raise kids.

Nice and Fun Read But....

Supposedly, I would like to rate this manga 10.0 but ... I'm not quite happy with the ending. So people who are currently reading this, please don't expect much. You'll only get a heartbreak like me. I believe the author should have at least made 1-3 chapters full of fluffy romance (´ｰ`).

Man it wasn't worth the bother.
Too long and so little romance. Can one even call it a shoujo!?
The end was very disappointing... I expected it to be so much different.

It was a 10, until the end came.

I agree with almost everything that was already said here. My rate was a 10 till I've read the end. It's ok a slow romance development, as she was underage, but I think the reader needs to be respected a little and showed a little of romance between the two main characters. The acceptance of the twins of the new situation between them, and so on. It was an undeserved end of a great story.

I love this manga so much!

When I first started reading this back in 2012, I fell for the twins. There's nothing more adorable than reading a manga with young children in it, especially ones with twins like Aoi and Akane. I stopped reading it after I reached the 14th volume as at that point I just couldn't stand waiting each week or two for the next chapter to be released.
Now finally, three years later, I get to finish this.

The main couple's romance develops at a very slow rate. But you hardly notice it as the twins keep your interest and some of the side characters keep the story going. You'll be reading the 14th volume before the romance really develops but trust me, you wouldn't care. Personally, if I compare it to Ouran High School, this manga has a faster romance development. It is slice of life so it's much more realistic than Ouran High School which would also explain the slow romance.

I have to say, the ending felt a bit flat. I was expecting at least 2-3 chapters on it so as to be able to catch up on what all of the characters in the manga are up to or how they are. BUT given that it's slice of life genre, the ending is still good. But I really would like that extra chapter just for a bit of extra fluff. I want more future glimpses!

Just became one of my shoujo favorites (and this is a lot by my standards).

Warning to any possible reader, you may die of diabetes when reading this manga xD.

It still has to continue, since a lot of developments weren't properly closed 😛 you'll know when you finish it.

Overall, a Good Slow Romance, but the Ending...

by blackluna

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I know that a lot of people seem to have trouble with truly slow romances, which is seems to be the chief complaint about this manga. Personally, I found that the romance was not artificially drawn out and that the pace fit the plot and characters. The mangaka has excelled in bringing out all the cuteness, especially in the twins. The artwork was very fitting, and everything was in place. However, I found a couple of problems. First, the ending is abrupt, though fitting, which would be fine if the mangaka had tied up the several lose ends (I thought the sequel would, but it ignored them). Second, the twins were infantile for twins of that age. Being one myself, maybe I'm being too strict, but I found it hard to ignore the way the twins play individually at age two (when the story commences) since twins and other multiple births, when raised together, normally interact while playing at an even earlier time. Those two things aside, the manga is incredibly cute and a good slow romance.
