Tagame sensei please continue making vanilla manga like this. Always love sansei's drawing and it's interesting reading sensei's take on slice of life/family drama genre. Would love to read a shounen ai manga from Gengoroh Tagame.

Wouldn't be surprised if father and foreign uncle ends up together. But personally I'd prefer father-san and foreigner-san get close in a platonic way. (Maybe later on foreigner-san would meet a new love interest. If father is straight it'd be interesting to see whether he's able to stay open minded and accept the uncle and his new lover or not.) I think it'd be nice to read that father and Kana can accept the foreign gay uncle into their little family.

It can go either way--maybe he's like his twin and doesn't realize it, suppressed. But yeah, a platonic friendship where Mike manages to break down some prejudices might be nice. Plus ,the most important thing, teaching the brother things about his dead-sibling, from which he got estranged. A sort of emotional reunion.

I think, there is no need for platonic or any other romantic ferlings between them. Why, its so good that they can find acceptance being themselves and not making other type of relationships. Anything more would kind of changed the massage this manga is sending.

There's a lot of subtlety in play in this story, probably because it involving traditional asian family dynamic. Whether readers like the story or not is up to each their own. But I honestly feel that the plot is pretty clear and doesn't need more detailed background to father, mother, sister, etc. The family inheritance drama supposed to be a blurry background anyway. Shown by how sensei didn't draw detailed expressions of the family. The focal point is seme and uke. Guilt, attraction, on uke part. And hate/vengeance, attraction on seme part. The plot itself is cliche but I personally like the subtler plot and dialogue. And how the mangaka didn't spoon fed the readers with every little details. A lot of the back story is implied and subtexts so readers can have different interpretations of the story.

My interpretation is the story is from uke pov and it seems it also show how the uke view his world. My theory is uke had fall out with father as a result his relationship with mother and sister also drifted apart. The family inheritance and his status as heir to the family company didn't mean much to him. Hence why scenes involving his family looks like insubstantial peripheral vision. On the other hand I think he carried this deep guilt towards the seme because when they both small (seme elementary kid, uke junior high) he pushed the seme and run without calling help/without making sure that he's alive. Hence why this scene is drawn clearly and repeatedly. And seme is a confusing, conflicting character is a mirror to uke confused, conflicted feelings towards seme. That's just my thought on it tho'.
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ Adorable tsundere uke and cheeky seme.
Thank you scanlators/translators, always love to read more of Natsume Isaku mangas.
