I am writing this review because there isn't one for it yet.
Story: This story of this is just not good; even the premise is awful. I had low expectations going in and it managed to not even get over that low bar. So you have a 5th grader (Carol) in love with her "older brother" (Kotarou) because reasons. Now I do agree that her brother is a total chad, however him not having any dialogue doesn't help whatsoever. The taboo thing about this series is the age gap between the 5th grader and her already adult brother. Now from my understanding he isn't related, so
...
it isn't incestuous, it's instead "What are you doing step-brother-kun" even though he isn't a step-siblings either (You get the gist). Kotarou isn't aware of Carol's feelings and already has a baddie of a gal pal trying to get her cheeks clapped by him and he's down. Taboo topics in a manga can be done, but this series just couldn't managed. I believe the absolute downfall of this series is the wacky sci-fi they decided to add. It didn't improve the story in any manner. Carol's "daughter" comes from the future in order to ensure he mother succeeds in getting her cheeks clapped by Kotarou her supposed father. Now if you know how time travel works, this makes absolutely no sense. This story attempted to add something complicated in a simple story and suffered because of it.
Art: The art style given to this is very standard, nothing special, but the characters do have a charm to them. Kotarou looks pretty cool to me personally and I see why this Chad has a barrage of bitches wanting some of that. I do find it rather uncomforting the pervasion of children that is depicted in this series, so morally speaking, I'm gonna have to give that a thumbs down.
Character: The characters in this series suck! Kotarou is the best character because he's an absolute Chad and doesn't have any dialogue to ruin his image in this dumpster fire of a series. Now I wish he had dialogue so we could see what makes him so great and to get a feel of his character more, but it is what it is. Carol bothers me a bit because her reasoning for being in love is rather stupid. What else could I expect of a 10 year old I guess? Her daughter acts way too immature for being an adult that traveled back in time, like what? I don't know why that was a decision, but it was decision made.
Enjoyment: I enjoyed this a little bit, but the only thing I enjoyed were the few funny moments in the manga. Other than that, I did not enjoy this at all. The story is atrocious, the comedy is meh a majority of times, and the perverse moments of little girls is unsettling.
Overall: I was massively disappointed in this series because the author, Yuuji Yuuji, is the same author who created "29 to JK", which is one of my favorite manga. It's a shame, but I should've seen this coming from the jump. I don't like to judge a book from its cover because every time I do, I'm wrong, but my gut was right in knowing this manga was going to be trash.
