All I can say is how much I adore each character. I often feel that the most important part of a manga is how believable their characters are, if the author has tried to imbue them parts of their soul; and in My Girl, I felt that every character was in some way a depiction of the authors own life, the people they hold dear, the people they struggle with. There lies a great effort to love and understand others and to love themselves. I don't think you could get such a vivid cast otherwise. Masamune's mother often annoyed me very much, I wanted him ... to shout out at her many times. But ultimately, she reminded me a lot of my own mother

I never would have thought that a story between a father and his daughter will be this so good and emotional.
I completed this manga like a month ago and still can feel the heartwarming vibe this manga gave me.

First the art style, it is so finely done, I highly appreciate those watercolor arts, it's so calming.
The story begins after the main character looses his beloved. His own child, out of nowhere came to see him, Koharu- a sweet and cute girl and Masamune- a fellow nerd i could say. The emotional feeling between them is so well presented.

The ending chapters made ... me emotional. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Give it a go, you would merrily love it.

I began reading this series because I was looking something similar to Yotsuba, but it turned into to be the opposite. Yet, it was not a bad series, and I would have rated the series higher if it was not for the male lead. The mc met his lover as a freshman in high school, while his lover was a senior. Later, his lover leaves him to study abroad and does not hear from her for five years. Next time he hears her name, she passed away and was secretly raising their child. No DNA test, and takes ... the child as it was his. Also, the mc does not have any romantic relationships with other women because he is unable to forget his lover during all those years. A year or more passes with him and his daughter, and he is unable to move on from a lover that left him in high school. The best character, Koharu, his daughter also suffers and misunderstand situations blaming herself because the mc is unable to move on.
The rest of the characters are not bad, from the mc's parents, to his mother-in-law, and Koharu's friend's and their families, including his deceased lover. The less likable character I found was the mc.
