Hello all, I am not good at writing these reviews and I usually dont consider it worth my time. But this one struck a deep nerve in me.

I picked this manga up because it was listed in the recommendations of both Himegoto Asobi and Sorenari ni Shinken Nan desu, two amazing manga in the single dad category where the dads both work hard and do everything they can to try and fight and raise their children while finding love that they dont feel they deserve.

This manga, though represented as having a "similar storyline" is nothing like that. Rather than the father being reliable and fighting ... for his child it is his neighbor that works hard and seems to be the one that cares. That part really bugged me, so if you are looking for the feel good parts you received from other manga in the genre, this one is sorely lacking.

Now, onto the objective part of the review:

Story: 4
I wanted to rank it lower than that, but I felt bad totally ripping on it. The story is very predictable and does not offer any surprises. The seme is hot and then cold and then very hot and the two bounce back and forth between very petty issues. It never really develops any solid plot. I have read oneshots that are deeper in all honesty.

Art: 7
I do say that I love the look of the uke. This mangaka has a lot of skill when drawing him, as well as the clothing. It was the best thing about the manga. She (He? I didnt look at the mangaka's name...... =.=) gets a little lazy when it comes to drawing the child though and he ends up looking like an overly "kawaii" bug at times....

Character: 3
There is really no character development at all. The seme always has one thing on his mind (if you know what I mean) and even complains about not getting that thing when his child wakes up alone in the apartment next door and starts crying for him. Again, a completely different feel from what people expect from the single father category. The uke is a little deeper development, but again he has very narrow interests. Neither of them have a very good backstory either.

Enjoyment: 3
It was an easy read but it irked me many times. It actually became hard to finish, even with all the well drawn sex sprinkled through it.

Overall: 4
I would not recommend it. If you were brought here from another manga do not get your hopes up. If you weren't, and are looking for something that is actually worth a read, please refer to the two manga that I listed above as having led me to this one. I hope I save you from wasting as much time as I did.

Well, I've never really written a review, so please dont expect too much from this! I was just so surprised that it hasnt gotten much attention since it is such an enjoyable manga.

Anywayyy, this is really just a collection of oneshots, but they are like SERIOUSLY good oneshots. Which doesnt really happen all that often.

Now, they are really dark. It deals with stuff like death, sacrifice and even cannibalism....but it's definitely not as gruesome as it sounds. It's just dark in the way where you love someone, but you are going to give them up so that they can be happy. It's sweet and ... sad and just amazing.

Anyway, I really suggest this to anyone who likes a good yaoi!!!! It falls in the same category as something like CUT.

Oh! And just a warning, this is a really hard yaoi, so dont read it if you cant handle a little man-on-man action ^___^

This is one of those brilliant one-shots that are just barely long enough. The story itself is rather interesting. I have never seen something based in a pawnshop before. Though, the whole "Teach me!" really reminded me of Koukou Debut.

All in all I say that this piece is worth trying if you are looking for a light, funny manga that still has a romantic twist. It has definitely become one of my favorites. ^___^

I've never written a review before, but all I can say is that this manga was awful. There seems to absolutely no romance in it whatsoever. They claim to be in love, but there was absolutely no development for said love. They just dive headfirst into it. It leaves you feeling empty and takes a mafioso storyline and seems to make it cheesy.

I just wanted to write one of these to prevent anyone else from making the mistake of picking up this manga. It's really a waste of time. I hope I helped you.
