You Like Me, Not My Daughter?! Vol. 1 (Manga)

Product Information

Imagine your childhood friend asks you for a time alone on a secluded place. Then they'll say, "I love- your mom." This is how I initially imagined it. And that got me baited into reading it. Nothing special aside from the attraction to another person who differ a lot in age. Ayako is trying to be a serious mother. Takumi is trying to look like a serious adult. They're failing at it in a funny way. You can figure out the rest. The final few volumes introduce a love triangle that adds some much needed drama to the work. While i wont spoil it here, what starts out feeling forced or shoehorned in and out of character eventually culminates into one of the most satisfying “confession” chapters i’ve read in quite some time, which retroactively reveals all of the players here were actually following their hearts and true to their characterizations. Its quite cathartic, and elevates the entire work from the genericness it had been suffering from. Love Confession: Takkun does this in the first chapter, revealing his crush on Ayako, much to her surprise, setting off the series Regna - Hoshi no Hate Made Buttobasu - Auros no Youhei - Monitor Joou no Bouken X - Multimedia Baka - St. ☆ Hakkenden - JAJA Himetake Yuden - Mobius Klein - Galaxy Fräulein Yuna - Umi no Shiro, Yama no Jou - Forests of the Night - Gundriver - Space Knight: Tekkaman Blade II - Dirty Angel

It’s just… really awkward about how it tells the story. At times cute, but at a lot of other times very cringe. There’s enough good, on balance, but there’s some stuff here that barely gets a pass from me.Only a single internal conflict in just one character and it just run around at the same circle. No one opposing the idea. Since the theme is "taboo relationship", it just feels weird that everyone accepted that. And I like that eventually Miu and Ayako had a conversation, or well ish, about it. Miu is just hoping that her mom gets someone, hoping that she finds happiness. She is happy her mom of course put aside some years for her, but now that she is 15, almost an adult, she just wants for her mom to be happy. I found that so sweet. Miu seems a bit stand-offish at times so this moment and some others made me smile.

The story follows a woman named Ayako, whose sister and brother-in-law died in an accident when their daughter Miu was only five years old. At the memorial, all of the relatives argue over who will take in the orphaned little girl, and everyone has an excuse as to why it can't be them: they have too many kids, they work too much, it would look bad if they sent her to a group home. Frustrated with all of this and seeing the toll it's taking on the little girl, Ayako speaks up and says she will step up and adopt her. Even when relatives try to dissuade her, saying that she has only just graduated from college and entered the workforce, Ayako is unmoved, and her determination pays off. The story skips forward ten years, and we can see that Miu is now calling her aunt her mother, and the two are living a happy, comfortable life. Miu has just started high school, and Ayako has arranged everything so she can do her work remotely, thanks to a very understanding boss. They're even close with the neighbors, particularly their twenty-year-old son Takumi. He's been tutoring Miu, and Ayako has convinced herself that he's got a crush on her daughter. Chikan Saresou ni Natteiru S-kyuu Bishoujo wo Tasuketara Tonari no Seki no Osananajimi datta AutoRec tl;dr - All potential material has been written over giving you only a shallow rendition of what could but shouldn't be. I don't mind the age gap. There are many great stories with the age gap trope. I did like how Ayako was trying to deter Takumi and how they bonded over anime. Her reactions are logical and felt realistic for the situation. I do hope there are more mother/daughter moments between Miu and Ayako, and more development between Takumi and his friend. Those scenes were great additions and hopefully they'll be expanded on.Can't Hold Her Liquor: Ayako tries to convince Takkun she can't be with him because she drinks all the time, but he knows she almost never drinks, and thus doesn't know her limits. I am not that much into mushy stories :) last one I read was excellent comic about Julia Jones, her sister Eve and her family. But as they say exploration is good, right :)

Oct 20 Final Fantasy XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida on the Game's Anime Influences and Design Philosophy I was pretty off put by the fact that he has liked her since he was 10… and that this love at first sight happened because they bathed together. It was a totally innocent bath. Takumi was cold and soaked to the bone by the rain and Ayako, who has a kid, didn’t think too much of it to just also dive into the bath as she was also cold. But apparently how Ayako looked and what she said stayed with him and he fell in love. Yep. I was happy that Ayako was pretty put off about that as well. Like, WHAT? NO ><. Story is about thirty-something woman that raised her sister's daughter after her sister and sister's husband died in an accident. It is standard story - serious, gorgeous looking woman devotes her twenties to raising a kid and have a good career and thus misses on her romantic life. And when her nephew comes of age she sees her in relation with the neighbor, [as it was supposed to be otherwise] good looking early twenty member of swimming team (did I say mushy, this is so eeeeeekkk for me, its like watching those romantic soap opera TV movies :))

Date Peepers: After Ayako rejects Takkun, Miu tells her that he already got a girlfriend and has a date that day, telling her exactly when and where to make sure she follows them. Takkun spots her almost immediately, but it turns out he was seeing a movie platonically with his Crossdressing friend Ringou Satoya. Childhood Marriage Promise: Subverted. While in kindergarten, Miu made one with Takkun. By the time she is a teenager, having grown up together, she says that she simply cannot see him in a romantic way. Now here comes the bad stuff, I do like Ayako, the female lead, however, she keeps lying to herself when time and time again, her worries are proven wrong, and she manages to drag out their relationship. Like girl, make up your mind already. You don't like him like you, but then you don't like it when he stops? Like I get that you love your "daughter" but I doubt she even gives an F.
