Mameiha's manga / #single-parent(10)

Tonari No Kare

Complete | Kinoshita Keiko | 2007 released

This manga has the "real life" perspective down pat. Well written, but seemed too short for good character development. The art is not to my tastes, seems "slap dash" and sketch-like. The end kinda feels like the middle of most manga.

Patchwork (fujitani Youko)

I'd have liked to see more than a one shot of this story. As it is, the flow is confusing. There is a kiss in what seems to be college, then nothing for seven years. Next page, "Let's live together as a family with my sister's abandoned daughter! Yay!" What? Is it common for ANYONE to do this? The plot concept had great potential, but I can see why it stayed a one shot. The concept was hastily and poorly executed. This is a story that couldn't be told in one chapter, yet it was squeezed into one. Such a shame.
