Cuties

I read this one jp! (luckily all the dialog is really easy haha)

It's just a pretty chill manga with a cute romance about cooking together. Pretty heartwarming, but there's not really a lot going on in the way of plot or character drama (imo).

More of a pick-me-up manga than anything else.

Freaking adorable

This book was so sweet and so sad in such human ways and I basically wanted to cry through the whole thing with either happy or sad tears. Also the translator did a great job! Some of those lines were just so good!

Yutaka is a 23 year old desk worker at a nebulous company. He was adopted as a young boy into a family with a son and two daughters. Yutaka was deemed “too weird” by the brother in particular and the rest of the family went along with it. He’s used to being alone but is very lonely. He’s good at cooking but can’t eat around others due to anxiety caused by his brother telling him he’s too weird and not fun to be around during meals (or any other time). When the rest of his family invited him to join in, the brother told him not to because he would ruin things. So quiet Yutaka learned it was better for others if he didn’t “intrude.” He’s also sad because he’s always wanted his brother to love him back.

Yutaka meets a four year old boy named Tane and they share a big onigiri together. Eventually Yutaka makes friends with Tane and his older brother Minoru, who is also 23. The two brothers live with their dad at the family ceramic studio. Their mom died two years prior. Yutaka is able to eat around them and teaches them to cook good food, and they start spending every weekend together. Yutaka comes to realize he’s wanted, and relaxes, and loves them both.

Minoru’s mom was always frail, he said. Some of his relatives blamed the fact that she had another baby for her rapid decline in health, and sort of blamed Tane. Minoru responded by keeping his brother closer and loving him deeply. Minoru’s ex-girlfriend also resented that Minoru always brought Tane places with him, so Minoru no longer dates her. In contrast to Yutaka’s brother blaming him for disrupting their family and “forcing” his way in, Minoru ignored the people blaming baby Tane for things and did his best to make sure Tane was loved and safe. He did grow frustrated at times, and he was grieving, and it was his sibling so of course they’re at odds sometimes, but he responded much better than Yutaka’s brother.

Minoru is implied to be bisexual, possibly with a preference for men, and he develops romantic feelings for Yutaka. Yutaka doesn’t realize he feels the same way until Minoru kisses him. Then it takes him a little to be brave enough to tell Minoru he loves him back.

I thought the end was adorable with teenage Tane and the other boys in their 30s now. It was definitely not a surprise when it was implied Tane had an (obviously) unrequited crush on Yutaka, who is his brother’s long term partner. Until he gets over it that poor kid is gonna be a bit bitter he wasn’t born first, lol.

potential for second volume

by gwkimmy

Rating: N/A

very cute! I could tell the ending was a bit rushed, so it felt like a lot of small little plot points never got resolved. although you could definitely tell that Minoru was interested in Yutaka, I wanted more indication that Yutaka was reciprocating before the big confession. The drama of "will-they-won't-they" felt artificial and was short lived anyways. I wish there was more actual tension during that part so that it could feel like Yutaka was actually conflicted. The drama during the second half of the volume was just clunky in general. It was still so adorable and great, tho. Tane-kun is the best. Him and the dad are honestly shining beacons in this manga.

A second volume would be great in this since I would really like to see Yutaka's character fleshed out more. I want to see him try to reconcile with his family and see what his job is like. I want to see him being lovey-dovey with Minoru and Tane being the natural cock-block that kids will be (lmao). I want Minoru to discuss his sexuality with Yutaka since it does seem like he was gay/bi all along. I want to see what Minoru goes to school for and what his eventual job will be. There's a whole lot that could be explored!

Well it's cute without a doubt,

.. though I wouldn't say that this manga was exceptionally well-written or anything. There are moments that'll definitely tuck at your heartstrings, but there are also some that I felt were a bit sloppily handled. Overall it's a fine story, Tane-kun is the cutest little thing, and the general atmosphere of the manga is pretty nice. You can certainly feel that familial warmth emitting from the characters' interactions, which is exactly what the author was shooting for with this story.

Everytime I read a manga of this author I start off expectant and she still manage to amaze me with her storylines. All her works leaves me feeling so full of happiness and content by the time I finish reading it. And this one is no different of course, it's so full of domestic fluff combined with so many touching moments and family love. Ahhh it simply makes me so happy after reading it. I am looking forward to more of her works!

Seriously, this author is amazing. Her stories are so cute and fluffy (and pure), but at the same time realistic and heartclenching. This one got me thinking a lot about my own life, and I loved it. Check out her other works as well!
