Sentarou and Touma are two total opposites who have found themselves in an awkward situation: for the next three months, they have to live together with six-year-old Meguru so she can pick one of them to be her papa! After the death of her mother, both Sentarou and Touma were listed as Meguru's potential father, along with strict instructions that she would get to pick who she wanted to live with. But neither of them is ready to be a parent, let alone live together! Now, cramped in Sentarou's apartment, the three of them must figure out how to navigate this situation. Between Sentarou and Touma's constant squabbling and Meguru's surprising maturity, will they be able to survive? And just who will Meguru pick to be her papa?

Read the full take

Sentarou and Touma are total opposites who find themselves in an awkward situation. For the next three months, they have to live together with six-year-old Meguru. The premise is a family comedy that begins with a forced arrangement and builds toward warmth and affection among three very different people.The strength is the dynamic. The two leads bounce off each other well, and the little girl brings out their softer sides. Their clumsy attempts at caring for her are funny and sincere, and the tone stays friendly.The weaknesses are about the setup. The premise is a little contrived, and the short run means the bond sometimes forms faster than it feels earned. Readers who prefer slow-burn development may find it quick.Recommended for readers who enjoy warm, domestic comedies with a sense of humour. Expect a cheerful, gentle read that rewards its odd-couple charm.
