I mean plot wise it moved hella fast. It would have been better if it was from the children's POV. It's more like a story about coping mechanism and grief than romance to me.
About the public bath it might seem weird to people but I guess it's very normal in Japan. Also children don't sexualise people adults do. About him leaving children with an unknown man might seem weird but like...it's pretty normal in asian society? Where adults group together to take care of kids even if they are unknown? Idk I live in south asia and it seemed very normal that another person would step up seeing a parent struggling with their children.
Also children idolise/have crush on competent adults around them. It's only problematic when the adults make a pass on it or use it to groom them etc. Here the adults didn't make any advance at all lol. Idk what's all the fuss about. This is like one of the healthiest found family BL manga around.
