stressedpenguin's manga / #10/10 background characters(32)

This is so sweet and fluffy AAAAAAHHHHH I love everything about this. Kazuma and Chiaki have been daring since high school. Suddenly their childhood friend Tomoe turns up pregnant and then asks them to care for the kid while she goes on a humanitarian trip. Its irresponsible of her, but the whole situation just works. Kazuma and chiaki are amazing dads and Tomoe still manages to be a good mom if an unconventional one. The whole story is kinda about them raising the kid together, all three of them, in their own weird adorable way. And they have lots of support from family and friends. I love it. 9/10

Aww!!! They're so precious. I really REALLY appreciated the more realistic, step by step depiction of sex, the mild homophobia of the seme's friends who get over it because they care more about the friendship than being bigoted, and the extremely soft boi energy of both seme and uke. The relationship was built up slowly despite being just one volume, and the character actually communicated. Their one major drama stemmed from an understandable "one character comes to an internal conclusion to match the pace of the other and doesn't see a reason to communicate this directly with words leading to a sudden change in behavior that sets up the other for a bit of miscommunication." That's not a problem because the characters reach a tipping point and c o m m u n I c a t e I really liked this one. The main couple was lovable. The seme's friends were lovable. The uke was loveable and also had friends of their own, just less because they're a less social person. The conflict was the realistic progression of a romance. My soul is cleansed and my skin is clear. Also shout out to the seme's friend specifically for meeting glasses guy in the middle actually considering an environment he'd be comfortable in. I love them. 8/10
