This seems to be kinda wholesome, but oh damn. I can already picture projecting Twitterians going absolutely ham on that one.
Maltards just be making up anyone in their head bruh.

There's no need to get emotional.

this series is not wholesome wtf. it was depressing or at very least bleak most of time. yes it's look like some iyashikei at start, but you should notice how broken the characters are and the happy atmosphere is just façade. 
ikr just laughable the ppl on here that have no idea what they're talking about or they've based everything on the first few ch they've read and go on to spread misinformation. There is almost always tension between the characters due to the wife's circumstances and it's even implied early on. Also the husband is an idiot he's said some degenerate and outrageous things, shit you'd put him on a list for if it wasn't his wife. 
the first chapter literally start at reincarnated mom at home alone and leave to found her ex husband and daughter estranged and lifeless. how people think it's going to be wholesome?

Before anyone ask I just want to make it clear that this manga is very wholesome and at some point it really gets emotional. His reincarnated wife wants him to move on with his life and no need to worry there isn't any degenerate stuff in the manga.
Basically a very average Hallmark Movie adapted to anime, I'm disappointed.

Sure, seems interesting enough for a shot!

Ty friend, that sounds great and I was always a fan of emotional/sad stories. Will watch for sure!

Okay.. the title screams cringe n all but I somewhat agree this can be done decently.

This is all that I needed to hear....I'm definitely watching this now because I could already tell based on the synopsis that this will give me all kinds of feels

The story is ridiculous but maybe if done right it can be decent enough

This is very nice to hear. There has been, in my personal opinion, a relative lack of wholesome anime these days.
