Mameiha's manga / #adult(42)

It's a great manga, but I get pissed at parents like this. You DO NOT put your life on hold for your child unless you want a clingy, spoiled "mama's boy" who will interfere in your life even after they become adults. You INCLUDE your child in your life. Be honest and open with them, don't hide trivial or important things. Even in a homosexual couple, children NEED to see two adults interacting in adult relationships in order to know how to handle them when they become adults. If you're cold to your partner or spouse in front of children, they will assume that that is the correct way to treat their partner or spouse in the future. Conversely, if you show your children that two adults can be warm, loving, supportive and caring, that is how they will treat their future partners. When an argument arises, don't hide it, but argue like adults. Even if there is a "blow up" of emotion, let them see. Then, let them see how you calm down and talk it through to arrive at a solution. This is how children, especially young children, learn... through example. No one "taught" me this. I learned by trial and error with three sons. Sons who love me and their dad immensely, come to us often for advice and treat their partners the same way they saw my husband and me treat each other... with love, warmth, kindness, respect and compassion.

This is truly a phenomenal story. The anime is also incredible. However, the translation is unbearable. Even the best story becomes tedious after so many volumes of a language that looks like your own but is so disjointed and confusing that you have to read the same page three or four times to be sure you got it right. All the time and effort applied by the mangaka and translator is wasted if no one wants to read the story because they can't understand what is written on the page.

Story is complete. Though there may be extra chapters missing, the main story line is finished.
