If you are looking for a light, casual and entertaining romance read, then this manga is for you. Although the story is generic and the characters are too, it has its moments where the characters do unexpected things. The main character also has his own trauma and struggles, and the author does not hide his emotions and displays it instead. This allows for more depth and flavor to the story.

Other reviewers have mentioned that this manga is similar to Masamune-kun no Revenge. Though the plot does share a similar rags-to-riches concept, it adds its own spin. The art is fantastic and the characters are interesting ... enough. Why not give it a try?

Something that surprises me is that the rating is so low. I refuse to believe that this manga deserved to be placed on the same tier as Rent-a-Peak (formerly known as Rent-a-Girlfriend, or Ass-and-Trash). Don't let the ratings stop you from giving this manga a go!

It's good to see that the author's writing is still ass.

Coming from Domestic Girlfriend, it is definitely a significant downgrade. It's another story about several girls who have basic character tropes about them falling in love with a basic self-insert main character that has no depth to him, other than knowing what to say at the right times like a robot. Otherwise, he's bland as hell. There's more depth in the erotic scenes than the actual story itself.

I'm shocked that the author is female, because I am still fully convinced that only a sweaty incel would conjure this storm within the confines of his ... mother's basement.

Taiyou no Ie is definitely a remarkable work that separates itself from others. Yes, it is a romance manga, but it is also a story about slowly rebuilding interpersonal relationships, something that a lot of manga won't put full focus on. It was really fascinating seeing how everyone is connected, slowly start becoming accepting of others and eventually themselves as well.

As you might have guessed, what prevents me from giving this the perfect score is the age of the protagonist and her main love interest. Mao is a 17 year old high school student, while Hiro is a 24 year old office worker. And of ... course, they start getting romantic with one another. Essentially, Hiro groomed the shit out of her. Furthermore, they've had this sibling dynamic since they were children. This relationship switching into romantic one is also ethically questionable.

The bitter truth is that this relationship is weird, to say the very least. Especially with one of the main characters being an S-tier, major league professional child groomer. Even with these downsides, Taiyou no Ie is still a unique manga with banger romance sequences, complex relationships, and many heartwarming stories to share. If you can accept the fact that this is a work of fiction and bear with classic Japanese media being classic Japanese media (forbidden/taboo relationships, pedophilia and incest), then you should give it a try.

I give this manga a 9/10.

Darling in the FranXX is definitely an anime that was very weird at first, but I gradually got lost and immersed into the dystopia that was created. It seemed like a bad ecchi at first (lots and lots of exposure), but then it slowly assimilated into necessary scenes of contact and intimacy, an area the parasites were never allowed to explore.

The story design is abstract and subtle, but the unconscious effect was greater than expected. Sometimes, the anime would place black bars to offer a more cinematic and serious narration, coupled with a motif of wingless birds to introduce romance. Subtle storytelling makes for ... great storytelling. although the story itself is lackluster, and the pace completely changes towards the end.

Opening 2 is by far the better opening out of this season. So many things happening at once, and it pretty much spoils the entire story, especially with Zero Two turning into the sakura petals Hiro had once related her to.

A percentage of the fanbase were unhappy with the ending, but personally, I was fine with it. It was beautiful, and even more so since it was going to happen all over again.

The reason why the rating is so low is that Miku and Zorome never smashed. Absolutely disgusting. 0/10
