Ookumo-chan Flashback

It is shown that mr. riichi ueshiba often has an involvement of "mothers" in his story just like in nazo no kanojo x, but this time it is really great over all. the concept starts off as suzuki minoru gaining access to his deceased fathers older memories which included his mother and his father's romantic relationship, ookumo aya, his mother is a person which he gained a little interest in which is really bad considering they are in a parent and child relationship, this has become a problem for minoru as his flashbacks/memories are being mixed with reality creating a certain attraction to his mother. and throughthe story we can find that minoru really tries his best to know whats good and wrong by his own judgement, he finds himself hanging out with a girl named ninomae, the reason for this is because her and his mother are a bit similar, the story goes as minoru taking a liking into ninomae while slowly ignoring the flashbacks that occured by similarity of events in the present, he takes a liking to ninomae, and thus furthers their relationship through out the story. The art is a 8 because it indeed is a nice art by riichi ueshiba made by hand I enjoyed it alot as well over all 9 if it had an anime adaptation i reckon it would really be a masterpiece.

Wholesome, great art, likeable characters and unique story. "The innocence of first love": nothing describes Ookumo-chan Flashback better than this. This manga is clearly underrated and deserves more attention, I put it in "my plan to read" for so long thinking it was not worth it. Turns out I was wrong and the very first chapter immediately made me invested in the characters. If you are into slice-of-life involving non-cliche romcom then... THIS IS A MUST READ. Why? I will say because "best girls". Wait.. "Best girls"? so you are telling me that it's a hare- No at all! And you will soon understand why.

It features an Oedipus complex just the way the Japanese like it: juicy and full of fanservice. The protagonist's mother is a mangaka, and by the time I finished reading, I realized the whole thing is self-referential to the actual author and his past works (we're talking crystal clear references made for the fans), like Mysterious Girlfriend X. It has meta-references to the manga industry too. For example, if they submit a 30-page manuscript in the story, the actual chapter you're reading is 30 pages long, or 32 pages, and so on (plus subtle details, shading, etc.). The ending wraps up pretty well, although I would have likedto see more development of their relationship without so many flashback interruptions. Maybe a kiss or something, instead of so many time skips. (you will find out when you read it all) It's a short read—funny at times, twisted, and good. I recommend it even more if you're already familiar with the author's other works.
