WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A FAMILY

Harmless. Little substance. Cute. The main story reminded me of Our Dining Table by Mita Ori, which is a much better manga than this one. I did like the dad a lot though.It was just kind of bland, I'm struggling to think of any more to say about this manga.

The artistic quality is alright, I guess, nothing to write home about. The first story, from which the title is taken, is alas only one of four or five stories, so you don't get much of each. I really liked the premise of the title story, so it was kinda sad to read so little of it, and then get 2-3 other stories of other characters. That may be a plus or a minus, given what you prefer.

Didn’t realize at first that it had four stories instead of one but still loved it. Each couple were unique in a way.

This is actually one long story, with a few short stories, which was a nice surprise. All of them are excellent. This mangaka just has everything down—the pacing, the little touching moments, the backstory. All the characters are presented in a way that makes you love them and root for them. All of them are so distinct, and the author does this with subtlety. There is no over-the-top wordiness, or silly dialogue. And it is such a nice slice of life! People are just doing everyday things, and you get into the emotional challenges they face in the moment. As a BL, it is nothing but positive vibes. I find myself really feeling for the characters as they work to discover who they are through love. Very sweet, very moving, very real. I wish I could find more from this mangaka!

This story had SO much potential, but it was a complete flop. The author gave the characters on the front just two chapters which left no room for growth, despite one of the characters supposedly being a total buttwipe. Not only that, but this story was rated M and I wouldn't have even qualified it as being OT. Not that there's anything wrong with it not being explicit, but the rating is extremely misleading. I was hoping for a cute story about finding a family, and watching them grow, but instead I got this.
