Toru, who just became a high school student, ends up going to school and living with Sugako, who is his aunt and is also same age as him. The super-beauty Sugako stirs up all kinds of trouble. What will Toru do...?!
The aunt and the nephew are of the same age and attend the same high school as classmates. It's an interesting premise for a comedy, and though there are parts that have promise, a chapter is not enough to convince me otherwise to invest in it.
I hold the option to revisit this in the future and perhaps rethink my review, but I'm not starving for content right now and thus this will remain beneath the bottom of a pile.
This was a fun read. Tour has just started high school and finds out that his aunt who is the same age is also joining his school and moving in with him. His aunt happens to be very cute and this combination causes him lots of discomfort and wwkward situations as he tries to cope. The artwork is good and the story is well paced and keeps you interested. Looks to be an inter sting series with a unique story.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free e-book to review
First let me say that I don't like that you have to purchase it chapter by chapter. Other than that, it is a really fun read with an intresting premise and a really nice twist.
Edges between absurdly hilarious and disturbing. The protagonist's grandmother had a "bonus baby" late in life -- and thus the protagonist and his aunt are the same age, and attracted to each other. I think the over-the-top elements are the only thing that keep it from being creepy -- but I've noticed a number of manga that involve situations that would be creepy IRL (attraction between close family members or in an authority-subordinate relationship), but the fanciful presentation overrides our ick response.
This comic book introduces a story filled with potential for humor and drama but ultimately falls short. While the premise of this comic book suggests engaging family dynamics and comedic elements, the execution struggles with depth and cohesion, resulting in a lackluster experience.
The narrative in this comic book centers around the protagonist’s relationship with their charismatic and unconventional aunt. Although the setup offers opportunities for exploring family interactions and personal growth, the storyline lacks clarity and focus. The plot jumps between scenes without smooth transitions, making it difficult for me personally to fully engage with the characters or the unfolding events.
The character development in this comic book is very minimal, with both the protagonist and the aunt appearing one-dimensional. Their motivations and personalities are not sufficiently explored, which has left me personally without a clear understanding of their dynamics or individual journeys. This lack of depth makes it challenging to connect with the characters on an emotional level, reducing the story’s potential impact.
The artwork itself in this comic book, while visually appealing, cannot fully compensate for the narrative shortcomings. The illustrations capture the energetic and lively nature of the characters, with expressive designs and dynamic compositions. However, the art alone isn’t enough to elevate the story, as the absence of strong storytelling and character work undermines the overall impact.
The pacing of this comic book is pretty uneven, with scenes that either drag without purpose or rush through potentially engaging moments. This inconsistency affects the overall flow, preventing the narrative from building momentum or emotional resonance. Key plot points are introduced abruptly, which has left me personally without a clear understanding of the stakes or significance of the events unfolding.
Despite its shortcomings, the concept of exploring family relationships with a comedic twist holds potential for future development. With more focused storytelling and robust character exploration, subsequent chapters could delve deeper into the intricacies of the familial bond and offer more satisfying narrative arcs.
