This story started off in a quite cliche way. A young man, fresh out of college, works part-time in a second-hand store, essentially he was akin to being jobless (hence, a freeter). He was in love with the store manager there because she had been very kind to him in many occasions. So, one day he decided to ask her to marry him. And that's how the story started. I discovered this story randomly, and I didn't expect much as I read through the first chapter. But then it went on to the second, the third, and even up till the after stories. So, what kept me goingto the end? Let's start with the part that I like the most about the story. The characters feel very much like another human being with their own strengths, their worries and their self-perceived weaknesses. At certain points of the story I can feel myself close to crying due to how relatable their problems and worries are, and how despite all that the characters support one another throughout their difficulties. Furthermore, they managed to portray the beauty of the interaction of a mother and a child, a trustworthy adult relative and their nephew/niece, and many more. Heck, even the children in this story feels very much like a likeable person instead of just a child stereotype. In short, none of the characters felt like a stereotype, and their interactions feel very genuine you can't help but put yourself in their shoes. And ultimately, their growth as characters are very satisfying to witness. Anyway, that's about the character and the storyline. As far as the art goes, it is good, just as what you'd expect from a decently drawn manga. Though nothing stood out much, everything is nicely drawn and manages to support the story and the themes being presented. So overall verdict? I enjoyed this story thoroughly. The story is very coherent from start to finish, no progression felt out of place or too abrupt. And just such a beautiful portrayal of a parent-child relationship. I'd definitely recommend anyone to read this story.
Who wouldn't love this beautiful mom? Ryo Ishizuka struggles to hold down a part-time job while also studying for the accountant's exam. He finds emotional comfort in one of his coworkers, Yuzuki Tachibana, a widow with a young child. As his attraction toward her grows, he prepares himself to confess his feelings, but what will her reply be? Is love enough to conquer all? Or will the road to a relationship not be so easy? And what about lullabies and sleepy-time hugs? Get ready to be pampered to your heart's delight by this super-pure rom com, centered around a single mom and a freelancer! (Source: One Peace Books)
I've wandered around MAL forums today, looking for a new romance manga to read, and I've come across a spreadsheet a certain user has made. Poking around a bit, I randomly picked a name and started it, thinking I'd just binge something for fun and forget it a few minutes later. But damn, I didn't expect that. Kimi no Okaasan wo Boku ni Kudasai! or "Please Give your mother to me!" might have a really weird name, but I'd ask you not to judge the manga by its title. It sounds something trashy, but hot damn I was wrong. This is an age gap story about awidow who has a kid, and a college student, slowly opening up to each other and falling in love deeper and deeper with each other. The character development here is really good. You can see at first how each character just takes everything upon themselves, with their worries and problems, but slowly characters change thanks to them supporting each other, opening up to each other and working towards their dreams. The character relations are also extremely cute. From our MC to our FMC, or from our MC to her kid, or to his niece, etc. etc. Everything feels wholesome, yet serious enough to hold a proper plot development, and everything feels "just right". It comes in a nice whole package, and was very satisfactory in my eyes. Unfortunately, I think the art is kinda meh, it feels very "sketchy" and kinda rough. Although I don't think it really takes the manga that much down, it's doable. Overall, I've enjoyed it quite a lot, and it left a much more impact than I thought. Enough that it made buy the last volume RAW on Bookwalker and spend hours just reading a few chapters with my slow Japanese. 8/10, I recommend if you're looking for a wholesome yet serious balanced romance series with an age-gap.
the story was good but was slightly cliche. art was better than expected but those eyes are pretty annoying to look at because the eyes would normally help you feel and understand the character but the way they drew it kinda made it difficult to understand even though you can easily extrapolate from the story and easily understand the situation. the characters were good. I enjoyed it quite a bit and it was a very wholesome manga to read. overall it's a good slightly different cliche wholesome manga and would recommend it to anyone who likes the type of art or the story.
Okay, this manga is good. It's got what I have been craving for in a mature romance slice of life. A story about a widow moving on from her late husband, something that Natsuyuki Rendezvous had but didn't do as well as this one. Check. A wholesome romance without unnecessary drama and rivals? Check. A story with the same vibe as Chichi wo Hige? Check. A protagonist who starts off innocent and ignorantly naive, grows to be a more mature, and thoughtful person? Check. The best hook in this story is when she said "Can a freeter like you, possibly raise a child?" That hit me so hard, thatI'd just had to read it, and it was so good. The art style isn't really the best, but it delivers the story well and is just the right slice of life that satisfies my taste. Though, the fanservice is kinda out of place at times, since instead of making me cry, I unironically laugh when that happens in a scene. The slow yet simple progression of the story makes me so happy to look back at what happened at the start, and it's so satisfying to see how the male lead developed as a character. The dynamics of each character are so cute to see, and how they support and help each other is so wholesome. Yet, even with that, they don't shy away from the mature stuff, and deal with themes, like grief, passion, raising children, maturity, college, and love. Both familial and romantic. I wish there were more chapters though but I don't think I could end the story better myself, as this ending is very satisfying and open enough to imagine.
I rarely give 10/10 reviews. I give it to this series with absolutely no hesitation whether it's a 9 or 9.5. It's a 10/10. This series not only heals the soul but it fills it up and satisfies it. This is vital reading for anyone wanting to take a dedicated single parent seriously. Not only does this have the main character grow progressively. You feel like you are really growing too as a person right alongside him. Yes, I was expecting ecchi and cheap laughs given the premise, and then the occasional romantic and dramatic moment. But this wasn't like that at all. It was slice of life throughand through that had a fervently genuine touch that makes you contemplate about the basics of life again. Strangely, I felt this same touch when I watched ReLIFE for the first time. Nothing is heavy-handed or complicated here. Just a gentle and steady pat on your head as you read every chapter. Thank you for writing this story. It has truly touched me deeply.
