why pick a papa when you could just have both of them?

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ein netter, gut gezeichneter Manga über zwei Kerle, die plötzlich Vater sein sollen, und somit zusammenleben müssen.

Der Anfang war ehrlich gesagt ziemlich dumm - und für mich üebrhaupt nicht nachvollziehbar. Aber dann gäbe es die ganze Story nicht. Sentaro und Toma werden zu einer Oma gerufen, die ihnen sagt "Ja vor 7 Jahren hattet ihr Sex mit meienr Tochter, einer von beiden is vermutlich der Vater von meiner Enkelin. Aber keine DNA-Tests." Das ist halt Bullshit - sorry. Um den Vater rauszufinden, macht n DNA-Test, sonst wär ich aufgestanden und gegangen... aber wie gesagt, sonst gäbs die Story nicht, also bitte.
(Wieso die beiden das mitmachen, versteh ich eh nicht, beide haben die Mutter schon Jahrelang nicht mehr gesehen, also ja.. dumm.)

Danach folgt aber ein spaßiger, aber auch hier und da ernster Manga, wie die beiden Kerle, die sich nicht ausstehen können, zusammenleben müssen und gleichzeitig ne 6jährige Tochter haben. Das Mädel ist überraschend spaßig zu lesen, find ich, und der Manga hat gar nicht soviel mit Kindererziehung zu tun, wie ich gedacht hatte, sondern es geht mehr ums zwischenmenschliche, darum wie scheiße die Gesellschaft ist, was man tut, um zu überlebn etc.etc. Es ist für den Titel her überraschend ernst bei einigen Sachen, hätte ich nicht erwartet.

it really is true that this is buddy daddies if they are canon! a refreshing cohabitation story about two gay men on determining fatherhood to a cute sharp-tongued 6 year-old meguru 😭💕

[Ester · Rating 5 out of 5]

Qué divertido y, a la vez, tenemos una historia más seria y profunda de lo que parece y todo partiendo de una premisa que parece totalmente absurda, pero que logra que dos personas vuelvan a verse y que la vida de una niña solitaria pueda llegar a ser feliz y con una familia de verdad.

Muy lindo si tenes en cuenta solo lo superficial, muy triste si te pones a pensar en la vida de la nena.

3.5 de 5 estrellas.

meguru is going to grow up thinking that beer can turn you gay 😭😭😭

Al inicio sentí q era muy forzado eso de no hacerse una prueba de paternidad, pero según investigue en Japón el pedido de un difunto es muy importante tomar en cuenta, entonces saltando nos esto; me parece una lectura bastante ligera y disfrutable.

This manga has a weird premise, but surprisingly, it has a really good storyline—totally unexpected, haha!

[Jimena · Rating 4 out of 5]

La combinación de comedia y temas más serios me ha encantado, le da un equilibrio y profundidad a los personajes que logras conectar. no puedo esperar por leer el siguiente volumen 🫶

A few confusing narrative bits aside, this was really cute.

Although...while I'm unfamiliar with Japanese law, I'm pretty sure a woman writing a will and saying "one of you is my daughter's dad, don't take a DNA test though to find out which one, just let her choose" wouldn't hold any water in court. It's not totally explained why Sentaro and Touma would go along with it - particularly since Sentaro had literally only dated the woman for a single week seven years earlier. And Touma, while he was her boyfriend for longer, and far more likely to be the actual father, isn't exactly the most responsible guy.

Plus, would a grandmother really turn her granddaughter over to a couple of good for nothing men? Even if she is regularly staying in touch with Sentaro via video chats while he tries to learn how to cook and care for a 6 year old.

But for some reason they form a weird little household for the three months they're meant to stick together until their maybe-daughter decides which of them she likes the most. Touma, I think, is mostly along for the ride because he has zero doubt that Sentaro is going to "win" (or lose, depending on if they actually want a kid...which neither does). Sentaro is just kind of a pushover.

I went back and forth on being confused about Touma's job...I thought he was yakuza, then a host, then I thought maybe an undercover cop, but looks like he was just yakuza all along. Which is a kind of random complication to throw into the mix. Would the grandma really be okay with that? But maybe she just...didn't care that much about being a parent to a grandchild her own delinquent daughter had pretty much tossed to her.

This leaves Meguru in a pretty rough spot. It's not much surprise that she's a loner at school and doesn't know how to connect with the other kids. It seems like she hasn't gotten a lot of love or attention at home, so she keeps herself pretty closed off and just stays in survival mode. She needs a dad because she's a kid who can't take care of herself. Otherwise she's not all that bothered about who she lives with.

Sentaro and Touma are, to varying degrees, doing their best, and are gradually becoming kinder and more attentive. Their main family-bonding moment so far is trying to encourage Meguru to participate in the relay race at school, even if they're bumblingly bad at both encouragement and the physical act of running.

Beyond fatherhood, there are additional complications to the relationship between the two potential dads. We finally discover through slow flashbacks that while Sentaro had "dated" Meguru's mother for a week, he'd been in love with her coworker, Touma, the entire time. Pointlessly in love because Touma wasn't all that friendly with him and had said some disdainful things about Sentaro's band and his role in it.

So Sentaro gave up on the band - no one else in it was invested in making a career out of it, anyway - and in love, and wound up seven years later in a job that I found kind of confusing. He seems to work for some kind of music agency as a composer, but he also seems to be rejected regularly from competitions and things, so is he actually getting any sort of a regular paycheck from them? Or is all his money coming through the ghostwriting he's doing for a very popular composer?

Frankly, I'm not sure anyone actually knows who writes the jingles for ads or even the opening songs for children's cartoons, so it doesn't seem to me like a particular person's name would hold much sway with the public, eagerly waiting for a commercial to air...plus I don't get how that dude got big name recognition to begin with before his success was riding on Sentaro's ghostwriting.

Weird little plotholes that maybe I'm not fully understanding. But the theme is about Sentaro being willing to finally step out of the shadows and go for what he wants, under his own name, instead of taking the easy, secret path for all these years.

And when he celebrates that decision by getting a little tipsy, he winds up kissing Touma and telling him he'd been in love with him 7 years earlier...so that's going to be a bit of a mess to clean up.

I’m such a sucker for a story about two well-meaning disasters accidentally acquiring a child. It’s a truly undefeatedable trope.

Almost always a 5/5 star experience—as evidenced by this series.

This is just FANTASTIC.

Not only do we get accidental child acquisition here—we’ve also got a super “Type A”, earnest sunshine boy x blasé, devil-may-care grumpy, bad boy.

Are you kidding me? Take all my money.

Anyway.

If ALL of that wasn’t good enough, this series also scratches that queer, found family itch in such a satisfying way. The dynamic that our central trio has is both humorous and endearing. Watching the three of them grow together as a family is one of the most wholesome and charming things you’ll come across in this genre. It may even summon some tears.

Also, the chemistry between our two lover boys is delightful. They play off each other so well. Watching them go from being at each other’s throats over every little thing to calling each other home is the queer representation we need. It’s just so nice to see two characters who genuinely respect and care for each other fall in love. That sh*t matters.

Anyway, anyway.

Highly recommend this series! It’s one of the stand-outs in the genre~

It's not a perfect manga, but it's an enjoyable reading. Pick a Papa or Dysfunctional Family Therapy is about to guys, Sentaoru and Touma, who end up living with a kid for 3 months. The kid is the child of an ex-girlfriend who died. When she died, she left a will saying she didn't want them to do a paternity test and that her candidates for the child's father were Sentaoru and Touma. So, the grandma made them live together so Meguru, the child, could choose one of them as her father.

This is not a manga to compare to real life because there are some things that only could work in fiction like Touma being part of a mafia or the part when they took too lightly that Touma left drugs near a minor. But, it also shows what a child really needs, parents who make them feel secure and love. Despite how much of a disaster Touma and Sentaoru were, they always make sure to give Meguru a home, food, love, and support. That's why Meguru led her guard down for them, as you can see when she was worried that Sentaoru would die for being drunk or when Touma dissappear.

If you're looking for a short and entertaining story that somehow can touch your heart, this is a good choice.

[Esmeralda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sentarou, un compositor, es citado por la madre de su exnovia. El motivo es doble: informarle del fallecimiento de su hija y comunicarle que debe hacerse cargo de una niña. Y NO SOLO ESO. Para añadir tensión, EXISTE OTRO SUJETO, Touma, QUE TAMBIÉN ES UN POTENCIAL PADRE.

La señora les dice que los dos deberán convivir con la niña durante tres meses. Finalizado el plazo, la niña elegirá a quién tener como padre.

Touma acepta a regañadientes, mientras que Sentarou lo hace más que nada porque esa era la voluntad de su ex.

Lo que tengo que decir es quE ME ENCANTÓ. ESTE PRIMER VOLUMEN. ES UNA JOYITA. NO PUEDO ESPERAR PARA LEER EL SEGUNDO.

Sentarou es muy responsable y realmente se preocupa por la niña, aunque no cree ser el indicado para tomar un rol tan serio como el ser padre. En cambio, Touma es un alma libre. Dice abiertamente que no quiere ser el padre, pero aún así, a su modo, muestra preocupación.
Si yo fuera Meguro, la niña, elegiría a Sentarou. Pero esto es un BL. Los va a elegir a los dos. Creo.
¿Quién será el padre? Si veo a Meguro, veo a Sentarou, pero con la personalidad de Touma.

En fin, me encanta mucho este tipo de historias.

Història que s'acaba convertint en BL de dos possibles pares d'una criatura de 6 anys que hauran de conviure amb ella arran de la recent mort de la mare (vividora, despreocupada i que no explica la veritat al testament). Un triangle amorós raríssim, amb gens de comunicació i comportaments egoistes totalment immadurs. Percebo zero química entre els protagonistes i només em lamento per la pobra nena, massa madura per a la seva edat, que no té més remei que conformar-se amb una família desestructurada... En fi, no m'ha agradat gaire ^^'

[Janina · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 Sterne. Das Konzept ist süß und ich mag auch das Dreierkonstrukt der zwei Väter und der Tochter, aber ich bin mit Toma als Charakter noch nicht warm geworden und ich war nicht so der Fan davon, dass Toma anscheinend in der Yakuza/bei einem Klan arbeitet? das fand ich unnötig - konnte er nicht irgendeinen anderen unkonventionellen Job haben? Auch Toma und Sentaro hatten nicht genug Entwicklung in ihrer Dynamik, kommt mir so vor, als würden sie sich gar nicht richtig kennen.

[Liv · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun concept and great chemistry between the main characters
This little kid is so funny I can't hhahahah
I love that it goes back and forth between present and past so you understand the character's motivation and emotions

I liked their family dynamic! When the kid cried, aw.
And the mother's existence wan't forgotten, she would be mentioned in passing. And MC grieved genuinely..

Stupid premise to kick start the plot, but I really liked the drama of it all. The family is cute and I love this sort of dynamic.
