Synopsis

High schoolers Momoko and Wakaba couldn't be more different—Momoko is flashy and upbeat, while Wakaba stays withdrawn and introverted. Despite their contrasting natures, they are linked by their connection to a single baby.

On a dreary, rainy afternoon, Wakaba abandons her child under a bridge, leaving him there to die. But Momoko soon stumbles upon him, and as she embraces the baby, she feels an intense desire to protect him. As two "mothers," both struggle in their own ways: Wakaba must face her guilt, her manipulative lover, and the blossoming feelings of maternal love that she never experienced herself, and Momoko must learn to balance caring for a young child, school, and her own family.

Sometimes you come across a manga which looks boring but once you pick it up, you can't put it down. JK to Sutego no Akachan is something like that.

With a story that speaks of the cruel reality of the highschoolers and human relationships, I think this is one manga which most people will find interesting to read. Specially the human relationship part. The mangaka has done an excellent job with it.

The characters are great, some of them appear too real for a manga. You'll sympathize with some of them, love them and also want to strangle them(the villain guy duh).

Overall, this is one of those ...

I was prepared to cry my eyes out by the start of story. But I did not have the chance. The premise was somehow unique, but it progressed to a predictable plot that I really just zoomed through the last volume.
I did not feel that the characters developed from the first chapter, it felt like they were already the way they are, and that it was just not given the screentime.
The author did intend to have this only as a short story (although 3 volumes is also relatively short). It still felt that it was rushed, especially in the last volume where everything just keeps ...

JK to Sutego no Akachan Review. Mostly Medicore but has some heart here and there.

The series is about a girl (FMC2) who abandons a baby under a bridge because she doesn't have the heart to kill it. FMC picks up FMC2's baby and decides to raise it till she can find her parents. Originally she did intend to give him to the police but she got a mean letter in her locker which basically a plot point which results in her keeping the baby till the climax of the series happens.

The series is short actually. We don't spend time with the FMC and her ... adopted child for long. Which I consider a con. As we don't really spend time with the wannabe parent I don't really feel attached. Tbh I don't feel attached to any of the characters. Maybe due to the short length and everyone being a cartoony villain character.

Early on there is also this very obvious reveal in the beginning to the point that you think that this is the bad guy because the author made it so bloody obvious so you think author is playing 4d chess with the reveal. The reveal in itself nothing special. And the main villain in itself is pathetic. In the serious attempt of the story he is just an over the top cartoony character. It's so odd. But I kinda get why the author on this type of character. Being such a short series you can't develop everything. However there are other short series that are much much better than this that are capable of immediately grabbing me.

In the end. The series felt short lived but I don't think the author was capable of bringing more to the series. When i finish a short series and love it I think that there should be more whilst the author gave us everything he got in that short amount of time. Haru's Curse is a good example of this. In here I think the author wrote 3 volumes because that's how much the author is capable of.

When the series switched the Baby's POV, I felt it was quite good. The baby was the best character. Innocent and sweet and I'm not made of rocks damn it.

Overall i think this series could've done a better job with the characters, story, plot development/convenience and you know everything. But I also felt somewhat content about it. The villain was bad. The generic background story of SADNESS & DARKNESS did nothing to affect my emotions.

I wish i could criticize or love the series more. But you don't really have the opportunity to do it. As I've mentioned its a short series and its overdramaticness to the point of it looking cartoony doesn't help. The art is good I guess but art that isn't good is an outlier

5/10. Mediocre. Though there were some moments I thought were quite decent. It's not something I'm gonna remember.
