Review 167: Sorenari ni Shinken Nan Desu


Art: 8
Plot: 8.5
Characters: 9
Sex: 7.5

Oosawa works at some kind of noodle shop, and Yoshioka is always coming in (with different boyfriends) to order his favorites. Oosawa is divorced - his wife walked out on him - and takes care of his kindergarten-age daughter. He thinks of Yoshioka as a careless man who goes from one partner to another, but one day Oosawa's daughter gets sick and he needs help taking care of her. Yoshioka has an apartment nearer to the doctor's and to the noodle shop, so he offers for Oosawa and his daughter to stay there temporarily given the emergency.

As Yoshioka shows his caring side and Oosawa finds out more about him, they grow closer. Finally, after numerous mishaps and Oosawa's misgivings (he thinks he's completely straight), they get together and start to create a rewarding life together (hooray).

Art is pretty good. The plot is much better than I expected - nice flow, pacing, etcetera. The characters are great; I didn't expect the daughter to have any depth in a yaoi manga, but she was a very sympathetic character. Oosawa and Yoshioka both have deep backstories and come off as very likable.

The sex was different, but not bad. Seeing as Oosawa is a 'virgin' to guys, it makes sense for it to be awkward the first time. But their interactions in general are very cute.

Overall, 33/40.

Recommendation: If you like sweet stories and cute romances.
