I’m not a big sucker for single-mother or single-father tropes, but “My Girl” had adorable art and a really sweet plot. Masamune was an amazing dad who was far from perfect, and the symbolism with ladybugs fit well into the story. Masamune’s new girlfriend tries to overwrite Koharu’s love for ladybugs and her memories with her mom by giving her cat gifts, but her friends quickly call her out and she realizes her mistake. I loved this manga.
