This is really good in discussing how children cope with losing their parents and how they get back on track to their lives without them. In this story, we see the guardians, the victims children, the friends, classmates, parents, etc. all play a role in the main characters growth and development. We even see how they cope with their losses. I love how their guardians dont want to replace their parents but just want to be parental figures. Nothing is forced in the story and it feels so real because of that. I really enjoyed reading this story for its realistic but light-hearted content.

Characters:
All of the character in this manga is not perfect. The female lead, which is become inspiration for many people who read this manga (I read hundreds of Japanese comments) isn't perfect at all. But the reason why she is so inspirational is because her way of thinking. She knows how to speak with people based on who they are, she is good at judging people, and she can positioned herself in other people shoes. She sometimes maybe speak too far, but she knows how to handle it. She is sometimes not sure about something but we know she make it as learning experience.

Female ... lead: I said something about her before but I will add that she is the way she is because something unknown happen in the past. Maybe we will see it more later.

Female lead's boyfriend: He used to be very irresponsible but it changes after brothers live together with him and FL. He becomes more responsible and help the female lead.

Touma: I will not give into detail because it will be major spoiler but he changes a lot after his parents died to be the way he is now but little by little he becomes more comfortable with the new family. His choice ls influenced by this fact, for example, he used to be in football team but now he choose cooking club so he can help at home.

Story:
This is a story about a woman and her boyfriend who adopt 2 children, become family, try to understand each other, compromise and slowly they grow to be comfortable with each other. Each of them change while their relationship also change. This manga is comforting, deep and sometimes painful.

This story also talk about different family condition. For example, single mother, a mother who neglect her child, etc.

Why I give 10?
1. Natural character development
2. Natural relationship development
3.. I learn a lot of things from the female lead
4. It touch social problem and solve it in a really mature way
5. This feels real, no exaggeration. Example: No extremely mature child, no extremely perfect character, it touch real problem.
