Came back to reread. First volume is best. So many cute kids in bike helmets, and the scope of the story is smaller, more intimate. The conflict revolves around the characters learning to process their emotions and function in their roles as single parents. Meanwhile, the following volumes feel a little bit like throwing random tropes out to drag out the plot. I think most people who were drawn to the story originally came for the slice of life two dads with kids aspect, and that got lost in the burnt house/porn/acting/tabloid drama.
