this will be full of writing of feelings and emotions this manga gave to me and will full of spoiler. not something proper of objective, because this will be pure out of my own feelings.
this work is easily one of the greatest. classic yuri is one of the best out there. i love how the author wrote this one and releasing it in 2008. still amazed me how classic yuri always gives me this many emotions. they talked about being queer in the community and all the best ㅡ the characters being bisexual and the need of them to not actually follow what they want because of how the future will effect the kid. above anything all, yuuta is the most important here. everything revolves around him. his parents, his family.
a story about exes who separated and met again and they became roommates. co-parenting a child together. michiru and maya's story isn't that simple and easy. they went through a lot and most of times were depressing, heartbreaking, and devastating. it was a bittersweet piece of yuri but after michiru and maya finally, finally talked and being honest with each other, how they want to be with each other, it went a little better. easier. i love how it gave me feelings of being relieved ㅡ that the characters know that they love each other. it's always enough for me even it's not really is. i wish i see more of them together, michiru and maya. them on a date together, as lovers, as girlfriends, as lovers. i love them so so much with all of my heart.
yuuta is the star and the spotlight in this manga. he's such a lovely and sweet kid. he's not like the usual kid who will run and do whatever he wants to do in life without the care in life. for his age, he acts too careful and too mature. he also went through a lot, i can say that after seeing him as adult, for a child to be that smart and understand about the world around him ㅡ but he's always been so smart and wonderful. for all those times he tried to save his mother from falling ignoring the fact that he was still a little child and he could get hurt, those times when he tried to shoo away maya's pain when maya was crying, all those times when he was so kind towards miyori, and every little things he did. he's such an adorable kid. and when he leave his grandma's house, running away to home. to maya because he wanted to see maya :( my heart. he's such a wonderful little kid he deserves all the kindness and love in the world.
without yuuta, because all those heartbreaks michiru and maya went through, they wouldn't be where they are now. it was bittersweet, yes, and devastating. to know that michiru left maya and everything that comes with it ㅡ to think that michiru slept with keiichi and left maya and maya was left alone and after all that happened, they still went through a lot because they didn't want to be honest with their feelings, because they think they can't be honest with their feelings, and all the time just sacrificed themselves. like how maya always think of others but not herselr and again and again sacrificing her own feelings so the ones she loves the most can be with someone other people would call "normal" family. the times she was sad when the teacher came and thought that he would be with michiru and become yuuta's family just like how normal family usually go. it broke my heart for so many times, it was bittersweet indeed. the never ending bittersweet. but i love all the development that comes with it. how michiru always doing her best to become a good mother for yuuta (and she is, she always is) and become the adult she must be. she's still young after all, she made mistakes by mistakes and keep learn from it. i just love despite any of bittersweet things it gave me, it didn't feel too unbearable for too long. they didn't give any of the men that much of chances to be with maya and michiru, and i'm glad of that.
i love how they come up with the ending. the climax of everything. they showed adult yuuta. and they should how yuuta was struggling because of presence and the fact that his father prepared the note, the fact that he knows yuuta will ends up in such situation and decided to made the note for him to listen, for yuuta to listen to his father that his presence was wanted and precious, as precious as how his family thinks it is, and he's not something that shouldn't exist, because he is precious, priceless. he is his mama, maya-chan, and nico's precious little bean. he is and he will always be. the climas was nice. i found myself smiling to it and feel relieved. the fact that michiru and maya stay together for so long, too ♡ my happy wives ♡
i love them so much, so so much with all of my heart. they are so precious. each other. maya, michiru, yuuta. i would love to read this story for the first time again and being so in love with it again. this one is one of the greatest, one of the best, easily loved because it's loveable despite being bittersweet for most of the time. but the ending is beautiful. very beautiful. i hope each other find their own happiness and it sticks to them forever. i hope michiru and maya stay together forever, happy forever until death to them apart, and i hope yuuta will always be happy, too. all of them deserved it. i love my little family. so precious to me.
