I liked this enough. It was an interesting take to have an ex constantly try to get back together, and then to end up with the younger brother. Truly funny.

While not as funny as Aisuru Hito, Itadakimasu is miles ahead of the one title of Yoshihara's to receive and English translation, Butterflies, Flowers. The story follows Naeko, a marriage councilor who is recently divorced from her philandering husband. But a divorcee doesn't make for good PR, so her bosses want her to get married again as soon as possible. Naeko's ex is willing to do the job, but she throws herself instead into the arms of the beautiful boy who walks through the door...her former brother-in-law, Oji. Oji is only 18 and due to illness is still a first year in high school, but he and Naeko quickly fall for each other. As sexy comedies go, no one injects the absurd like Yoshihara, and from cranky pet cat Oscar to Oji's creepy school nurse, this first volume is packed with funny moments. The jokes don't always land, but for the most part, this is a fun read featuring an adult(ish) heroine, and worth reading if you can find in a language you speak.

I thought at first I'm going to like until I read more, It's just a quite lame plot. Pretty pretty lame and pointless and the characters just whatever.
The art is good, though.. It's the best thing but I couldn't help but to notice that there's something wrong with the expression that the characters make at some points. There were no reason behind the weird expression and they are not even funny.
Anyway, I didn't like it.

I don't have anything against younger men and older women in romance. But the younger man is the youngest brother of the heroine's ex-husband was kinda hmmm... well, i think i need to digest the plot properly first hahaha

Felt so uncomfortable with the image of the young boy. Decided to pause reading, and read again, and again I cam uncomfy.
