The ending was rushed. So much was set up and established that this series felt like it was meant to be much longer than quick a 5-10ish chapter read. Sentarou’s career, the actual family bonding, more backstory about them and actual genuine love that’s better than whatever we got because it happened so fast and still feels superficial. It’s too quick. The pacing would work more for some quick lighthearted read of two already established guys in a relationship watching a kid for the weekend than two guys who still are trying to get together + angst + has their own motivations and goals + the kid is THEIRS to actually RAISE + whatever tf is up with Ririko and the backstory… too much for such little chapters! It left off so disappointing.
This could’ve easily been something that ended in about 40-50 chapters after a year or two of publishing than just 11!

Kinda wish there were more long running BL about just raising a family. Like the slice of life “Azumanga Daioh” where characters go through the months and years and age, except as a cute cozy long running family manga. And I say family because I know there’s long running BL with MC who are students and young adults, but I’d prefer a family because we can see the lives of both the adults and kids as they age so it doesn’t get old (and there’s only so many chapters I can read of a high school/young adult romance before I get bored lmao).
Feel like the cozy market isn’t really getting tapped into for wholesome family manga!

Okay, I could’ve sworn that his heart only explodes once his true strength as “being stronger than any dragon or demon king” is revealed. But why can’t he just use a bit of his strength to at least be as powerful as the average magic using noble kid or something? Why fail miserably at everything on purpose but do that annoying fucking cackling smile each time because people don’t know his true strength? Why put up with the director abusing everyone the whole time but secretly cackling the entire time while your siblings don’t know you could’ve ended him lmao? No one cares if you’re secretly strong but do Jack shit to help anyone; it’s just a waste!
Still at the beginning chapters but MC is high key good potential that’s wasted on the whole “can’t do ANYTHING of importance despite being strong” narrative, because even the hidden strength characters he drools over still use their powers to do SOMETHING. Also, why not use the meat from the monsters he hunted to feed his siblings in the orphanage? He could’ve said he found them dead or something lmao

the key point is that he cannot display any strength stronger than the hero's. this was mentioned in an earlier chapter.
currently the "hero" is someone who is capable of fighting one on one with a lv 4 and possibly defeating them. that's why the strength he has (which can easily annihilate a lv 4) is "too much" strength for him to display.

I wish this one kept going… an isekai with gyaru and not the usual protagonist was so fun, and it was interesting seeing them interact with the “usual” protagonist, their old friend. I didn’t even think they were annoying; more like it leaned into the absurdity and comedy of a gyaru isekai and still developed their characters besides a one note joke.

It’s sad they cut this one! It’s actually cute and wholesome! I guess the original audiences or publisher would rather prefer if the art style was more sketch in the moe/loli department or the child became the love interest like Usagi Drop or for my daughter I’d defeat the demon lord because why cut this one?

Interesting. Saving to binge it later, since reading mysteries that my brain NEEDS to know the answer to chapter by chapter frustrates me more than entertain lmao.
I wonder if there’s a secret work affair, if it were a pure accident, or some other shady deal. Because all the people at her job are so shady to me so far lmao

I wonder if he’ll sign his next line since he can’t say them verbally, since a big theme of this manga is “expressing yourself” and communicating/being understood in both ways (body and voice). That’d be a nice twist.
The romantic scene in chapter 5 gave me both butterflies and second hand embarrassment when I remembered he did that corny aah jump in public and the MC commented that it probably looked awkward to passerby’s lmao
Last chapter high key made me want this to be an acting shounen like Act Age (can’t believe it was canceled because the author was a disgusting creep) since I think we’re drastically missing something in that area. The author is great at writing character motivations and small stakes, so I’d imagine them taking on a shounen-type series and filling the void of act age with bigger stakes and more challenges would be top tier entertainment with how well they write characters and communication!
I keep saying every chapter that the content is too little per chapter and I should just let it pile up to binge, but I come back each update just to see if fujimoto put something that directly moves the plot along in each chapter that I don’t wanna miss out on. Like Nayuta’s “death”. So far since then I’ve just been feeling like there’s a lot of “wtf fujimoto” and “okay that was weird but let him cook” moments but not enough… payoff? And this chapter (193), there’s pretty big themes happening but it’s just depressing asf and doesn’t feel like we’re getting closer to any goal. Feels more like “a story meandering but in the style of fujimoto” than something really happening. Feel free to disagree idc and this comment section is actually hilarious and better with differing opinions than the fujimoto glazing elsewhere. Like even if this all leads up to something big and he’s actually cooking it still feels… meh.
Denji never gets a break and it's so tiresome to read.
Ikr, that too. I get that a story like this clearly thrives on conflict and chaos and themes, and fujimoto doesn’t hold back, but I genuinely think it would be better in part 2 if denji had more of a “slice of life” storyline before the chaos began where we saw him and nayuta way more involved in the plot without being wrecked and dunked on before “it” actually happened. Yeah we got it but not much lol. Still waiting for the payoff of this later half of part two because the author lost me. And waiting for a time when Denji’s character doesn’t completely circle back around to how he began, because it seems like so much of his struggle is him going back to square one despite all the people (mostly women because he distrusts men) constantly manipulating and harassing him. Like sir, even tho you’re a teen even teens learn what to watch out for after something happens for the eleventy-seventh time. You’re STILL falling for the same shit from part one???! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
