rainydays's manga / #family(4)

jun helps his crush jihwan take care of the latter's nephew, yul. one of the most down to earth, refreshing bl with kids work ive ever read. definitely a feel good read for me, i loved the plot direction and maturity of some of the topics presented even if the art wasnt the most outstanding. yul is one of the cutest babies ever i love him.

a look into the life of naguru and herapi, how they met and how their child towa changed their lives. love the art, and love the character dynamics, but ngl i thought that naguru and herapis relationship felt a bit one-sided, wish we got more insight into nagurus emotional development to the point where we believe he actually liked herapi himself, but alas, the vagueness of it all actively tampered with my understandings of the situation. towa really saved this manga, love him to bits.

a man takes his wife on vacation to restart their lives after their sons death, though his meaning of 'restart' turns out to be very literal. there is discourse over who is at fault, i'd say both husband and wife were quite awful in their own ways. gotta give props to the artist for making everything so detailed yet grotesque, the story was really creepy and though the ending was weird, it still felt in character.

while i feel like the romance was more on the sparser side, i loved how this manga revolved around the main character and his intrapersonal relationships, i feel like the emotions and struggles were handled with a great level of maturity, and the romantic fluff was a great cherry on top.
