I am probably gonna be hated for this comment a lot but... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I didn't like the manga.It was just too fast paced.I mean, really? DAY 1 you don't even know the guy's name and in DAY 2 suddenly you're head over heels for him, sad that you guys might part forever?
If the fairy put a curse on Freckles, doesn't it mean that the feelings were fake? It was just so...random.

Exactly! That was literally the plot I was looking for. Slow paced would have really suited the manga.It'd be nice if Freckles was, initially, very wary of the other guy but slowly got warmed up to him, they became good friends and THEN started getting all doki-doki and bathump-bathump in his presence.
Somehow Freckles personality in Ch1 wasn't the same as his personality in Ch2, but that may just be me ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

First and foremost, this manga was done two years ago as one of Conro's earlier series. It was also serialized in a manga where she may have felt pressed for time, so obviously it won't be her best work.
There's still four more chapters of this series, but if you're already disenchanted with the manga now, I suggest you don't read the rest.

I wonder if the dad has a crush or something on his son... might be that he married Rie in order to stay close to Rie's son or something, idk.Seems likely, given how much he was talking about his son rather than Rie. And when the older guy mentioned that he has Rie, too, he looked a little lost.
I wonder if this is pedophilia. Hopefully not, I can't stand shota.
I think he got married because he was lonely. The wife is older and reliable (maybe) ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Possibly SPOILER:
It looks like he's standing by a hospital bed at the end. Rie's likely hospitalized, and the son's probably been helping w/ the house in that instance. I don't think it's anything romantic, at least not on the father's part.
I was thinking the same thing. There were also the reactions during the conversation that spelled out clear as day there was something the father wasn't saying. I also didn't get any romantic or lustful vibes from the father when speaking about his stepson; it seemed more like genuine gratitude for everything the stepson had been doing to help him.
The son is 14, so it wouldn't really be shota.
