This manga is really good despite it being a short read. The story really captures the intrinsic need of a human being, even if the people around them deem them less, and it's all conveyed through a very simple story. Despite how simplistic the art may look and all, though it is portrayed through the eyes of one who is considered to be a monster, it really captures one's emotions, if one relates to the main character in a sense.

There are a lot of gory scenes and the "hell" baby may be portrayed as this monster-like creature, someone who wants to suck on blood ... instead of milk, infested with maggots, eats and preys on rabid dogs, and cannibalizes people. But despite all that, the baby has a sense that she wants to belong, with it starting from nesting on a mannequin, and finding the concept of family with a group of dogs. With that, as she grows old, she sees the city, and hears the words "mom" and "dad" for the first time uttered by a girl. With that being her first words as well. After that, a witch visits her and gives her a chance to find her own "destiny", and then she ventures into the world filled with humans. The ending is also really great, and the ending is something that I find really tragic. So one should really give this a go, and see it for oneself, and be the judge of it.

My only problem with this MV is how the song itself is so muffled in the music video. The visuals themselves are cool, especially for those who are into mechas, and some funny memes stem from this music video, but it's a shame that the song behind this video is so subdued. It has the most surprising unit of characters, where you have the leaders Rei, Rinne, Hokuto, Tsukasa, and Shu, yet they have the most beautiful and harmonic voices that I have ever heard. You wouldn't expect a chaotic gambler like Rinne to have a beautiful duet line with an elegant artist like Shu. ... Tsukasa also sounds so good, the song shows how powerful his voice actually is. And the song also has Macross vibes in it, like that's so genius.

Okay, I could be the only one saying this but the women in this manga's faces have the same face and wear the same stupid smile. It's kinda creepy and annoying to me, as someone who doesn't even mind same-face syndrome that much. But damn, why do the MC's expressions look so much better compared to the girls.

The story of this manga is honestly weird at first, but dark when you think about it. Imagine a young boy in high school, getting kidnapped by grown women and then torturing the poor fella and treating him worse than trash, then telling him that ... he never cared about his mom just because he used a smile as a facade for his grief, then telling him that his friends and family never cared about him and that he can easily be replaced or forgotten, and how he deserves the way he is being treated just because he rejected women in the past. This is some messed up stuff right there, but the execution isn't really the best.

While people think otherwise, I think the MC is the only good character in this. He's still standing strong even if the girls kept on torturing him, even if one of them pull his fingernails and even tried to kill him at one point. While the other characters, there's no redeeming qualities with them, other than they are fetish bait, with no substance whatsoever to them.

This manga is just some ongoing torture fest, if you're an M, I guess you'll like it.....

This is a hidden gem.

This manga gives a darker light to cultures like Rental Girlfriend culture, Host club culture, and Nightlife, which has been glamorized by anime like Rent-a-GF. If you don't want to see the MC creaming over the thought of his crush getting banged by another person, you guys should read this to open your eyes to new perspectives. What's beautiful about this manga, is how the characters make bad decisions that make them feel so human.

Even if I read mangas as an escape, this one is like a punch in the face with a dose of reality.

Okay, this manga is good. It's got what I have been craving for in a mature romance slice of life.

A story about a widow moving on from her late husband, something that Natsuyuki Rendezvous had but didn't do as well as this one. Check.
A wholesome romance without unnecessary drama and rivals? Check.
A story with the same vibe as Chichi wo Hige? Check.
A protagonist who starts off innocent and ignorantly naive, grows to be a more mature, and thoughtful person? Check.

The best hook in this story is when she said "Can a freeter like you, possibly raise a child?" That hit me so hard, that ... I'd just had to read it, and it was so good. The art style isn't really the best, but it delivers the story well and is just the right slice of life that satisfies my taste. Though, the fanservice is kinda out of place at times, since instead of making me cry, I unironically laugh when that happens in a scene.

The slow yet simple progression of the story makes me so happy to look back at what happened at the start, and it's so satisfying to see how the male lead developed as a character. The dynamics of each character are so cute to see, and how they support and help each other is so wholesome.

Yet, even with that, they don't shy away from the mature stuff, and deal with themes, like grief, passion, raising children, maturity, college, and love. Both familial and romantic. I wish there were more chapters though but I don't think I could end the story better myself, as this ending is very satisfying and open enough to imagine.

This manga had a good start, but it's like how I think of Fetiple again which lowers my liking towards it.

I myself, enjoy a good MILF from time to time, but as soon as it went to like Chapter 15 or something, that is when I fell out of love with the series, as it shares the same problems I had with Fetiple.

Starting off with the good, I love that the male lead takes initiative and even confesses his feelings to the female lead. He's even jacked as heck and is very sweet. There are also parts that are very sweet adorable and ... wholesome, that my hopeless romantic heart can not handle. And the other best character is the femboy. The art is very adorable, and cute as well, and I like how they put some depth into the characters, and the reasoning as the male lead loves her is very sweet. And I think the sexy boss lady is pretty cool too.

And that concludes the good stuff I can think of in this review.

Now here comes the bad stuff, I do like Ayako, the female lead, however, she keeps lying to herself when time and time again, her worries are proven wrong, and she manages to drag out their relationship. Like girl, make up your mind already. You don't like him like you, but then you don't like it when he stops? Like I get that you love your "daughter" but I doubt she even gives an F.

Next is her daughter, she starts out very nice and sweet. I liked her no bs vibe, until the love triangle comes, she becomes very disrespectful to her mother, and I don't like how instead of treating her as a mother, she treats her as her rival now, even after all she's done for her. If she wants them to get together so bad, then bruh no need to force this bs. And yet people treat her like a saint when she has her own faults too.

And bet this'll be some weird School Days situation that's gonna happen, and I'm really tired of these love triangle bs in these types of stories to create some artificial drama, and call it a "romantic comedy". Nothing romantic about seeing people happy then someone ruins their relationship, then after that one of them is crying getting rejected, and making us feel bad for the one who wins the other person's heart. And god, if I was craving oyakadon, I know where I can get that, and I'm not in the mood for that now.

And that's all my thoughts I guess. I'm very frustrated with these excuses for dramas.

The concept itself is interesting. A certain type of codependency between the two main leads and the toxicity is an interesting topic to tackle. However, this would probably be more interesting if it wasn't just a one-shot. To see the endless cycle of abuse, manipulation, and longing for two people would be an interesting psychological horror experience. I know what I described is similar to his other works like Aku no Hana or Chi wo Wadachi, but I think it would be interesting to make something like that but with two adults. And this one would be a good contender for that. The dynamic would ... be like Miss Kusakabe exploiting the man's loneliness and desperation yet having this control over him clears the void that she has.

I'm not condoning these acts, but it is fiction, and they would depict a truth that people need to be aware of. But if someone would make a story like this or recommend me an anime or manga like this one, I would be thrilled.

I love you Oshimi Shuzo, from reading Chi wo Wadachi and Inside Alice and Shino-chan can't say her name, and some other weird stuff, this one is the funniest manga I have ever read. If you're gonna take this seriously then you would not like it, but if you're gonna just read it normally, it's funni.

It's on levels like Ishozoku Reviewers funni. And the part where the girls where chasing the MC is so meme material, so much is meme material. This is like the small vs big breast debate brought to life in a funni manga. I don't know anymore but funni ... manga haha. There's also the part where the funni bald lady's funni boy toy got cut off, and she's like "YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD"

Also the name checks out, it feels like I'm on ecstasy because of this review.

But I don't think.... I can see a succubus in the same way anymore.....................

Jokes aside, the best character is Kageo, his no bs attitude and cool look makes him very fun to route for, and his love for his succubus gf is so cute even though it's weird. Also, MC gets character development, he goes from bad to chad.

This is something I never thought I needed. Most tsundere who just punch or slap people out of the blue is getting stale, and I don't have the balls to do that. But this, seeing the tsundere character in here is so fun, and somehow oddly relatable.

The dynamics in this story are quite interesting, Kobayashi and Endou's relationship is really good, you would see Endou struggle, and during his foggiest of days, he sees Kobayashi-san guide him and help him. But I would like to see Kobayashi's problems though, other than getting the best ending in the otome game, that is... But other than ... that, they really aren't the biggest focus of the story, but it's always a charm when it flashes about them though.

The next dynamic is Finne and Baru. At first, I thought Finne would just be another mary sue heroine character, but to see her have her own struggles with her power, people's expectations, and how she wants to protect the people around her, makes her really interesting. Baru is a less compelling character, but he's a very loyal knight type of character. The dude is the biggest simp. I think even if Baru is kinda hmm, he and Finne's relationship is pretty cute, as they want to protect each other.

And saving the best for last is Liesse and the Prince's relationship, this goes into my romantic fantasies list. It's always a dense guy and a tsundere, causing misunderstandings, but this one, it's a gentleman who wants to understand his tsundere fiancee more. It's so wholesome, I feel so lonely...

I like this show, but I think it's not for everyone, as many people complain about its slow pace, without understanding why. But if you're not into such a slow pace, then you should watch shounen because, duh.

The anime is slow-paced, but to its benefit, it makes the relationship between Kazehaya and Sawako much more fleshed out. As it's also been established that both of them share a mutual respect for each other, with Sawako appreciating Kazehaya for helping her go out of her comfort zone, and Kazehaya respecting Sawako's decisions, letting her decide for herself and not forcing her to do what she ... might not like or would make her uncomfortable. The side characters are also very interesting, and people do be sleeping on Ryu, Ayane, and Chizuru. Kurumi on the other hand is the one that I'm very frustrated with, but even her, she is written pretty realistically, as the anime humanizes her, and not just make her a total b****.
