I loved what I read of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san and was excited when this one promised a fun kind of sequel to it, featuring a future in which the main characters got married and got a kid.
I was curious how it would work out, would the kid be more like her mom or like her dad? Well, after reading I can tell you that she has a bit of both. She can be a tease/mean like her mom, but she also can be manipulated easily like her dad. Which brought in some hilarious situations as Takagi, even if she is now an adult, is still smart and has her way with words. It certainly helped in situations that involves food (green peppers are apparently the kind of food every kid hates in Japan) and with cleaning (my gosh, I am so going to try that out when I have a kid. :P).
I really liked the kid, sure, she was a bit annoying at times, but I know I had the same feeling with Takagi in the original manga (and even in this one when she was teasing her husband).
We also see the dad, Nishikata, at times, not so much, but he is around. He doesn't seem to have changed that much, not only with how he looks, but also with how he acts around Takagi. I am glad he is around though, I have read some descriptions of the manga that made it seem like we wouldn't see him around.
I am kind of amazed as I thought it was by the same author/mangaka, but it is actually by someone else. They really captured the style of the original series perfectly. Same expressions, character designs, everything.
All in all, this was really fun to read, and I am definitely happy that these two characters got together and had a kid. I will be continuing to read this series. And I would recommend it if you are looking for a cute and funny series.
TLDR: I liked this. I would probably only recommend it if you enjoy very lighthearted, daily life readings. There isn't an overarching plot (from what I can tell), but I enjoyed it as a light read on the side.
Longer Review: I watched the anime of when they were young, so to read the manga where they are adults seemed like a great idea. I really liked this volume. The weird thing is that I do not necessarily know why. There is not really a plot, there are limited characters, but I still really enjoy it. I was excited to read it. Perhaps as a main read, I would have been disappointed. However, I read this on the side as I was reading other books and starting my semester at school. I feel like if you treat this series as a light read on the side you would probably enjoy it. The other reason you may enjoy it is because you have read the manga from when they were young or you have watched the anime. Just make sure you go in with the right expectations and I think you will be delighted with this volume. I look forward to reading some of the other volumes.
Me encanto la serie animada y me puse a buscar los mangas disponibles de esta serie y me encontré con la existencia de este spin-off, que he estado disfrutando cada capitulo con mi corazón derritiéndose con cada capitulo (sobre todo los que hacen referencias a capítulos del manga original)
Es una constante descarga de ternura en cada capítulo, en especial cuando chi lleva a cabo alguna acción de inocencia propia de una niña en crecimiento, es en verdad una gran obra que no aburre un solo segundo, muy recomendada.
