soultwins's manga / #Family(3)

ahhh this was really such a nice read. it was very wholesome and heartwarming. it was also touching to see all of them grow in their own ways. toki learned how to finally grieve and move on, and finally accept how things are now without being guilty and sad for what happened. toki’s parents for also accepting appi’s parents’s death and also being patient with appi. chihiro for learning that he isn’t alone and there are still those people who actually love him after his grandmother’s death, as well as him continuously loving toki for five years, i think that’s just very sweet :(.. and lastly, appi... for being so strong and patient despite only being a kid. i can’t imagine how he felt once he understood what happened :( but it was such a beautiful moment when we saw him also grow mainly through the help of toki, and also chihiro... it was also nice to see toki and chihiro’s relationship grow and develop. but all in all, i really just enjoyed the relationship between everyone as a family. it was very very heartwarming and this is definitely worth the read. :)

ah, this is so beautiful in all aspects. i think i may have shed a tear or two bc of this... this was so heartwarming. just a family breaking the so called norms bc is there really anything different with a couple raising a child together? regardless of the gender and other societal norms and pressures the society put people through, a family is still just a family. and i just loved how ai and nao dealt with that and how they both constantly reassure each other that they're doing just fine as parents and there's no such thing as a 'perfect parent.' we don't have to fit in the society's ideals and instead, we just have to do what we think is right. also! it's so heartwarming to see how ai comforted nao with that and how he told him that it's okay to not be okay and how he'll still love him and be there for him even if he's not doing good bc how they can make hiro smile every day is a proof that they're raising their child well. lastly, how they raised hiro touched my heart. you can see the love they have for him and it's just so precious to see :') it's not every day that i find a story that has the same plot so i'm so glad i found and decided to read this. definitely 10/10 worth the read. it's just a very wholesome story <3

scrumptious art style, cute story, all in all it's a 7/10
