My Boy, Volume 5 by Hitomi Takano
5.0

Wow this is probably my favorite volume yet.

So Tawada decides to make some bold choices. She doesn't want to be just stuck in a miserable place anymore. She moves along with taking a job she likes and is good at. She also wants to be a part of Mashuu life because she does care for him. Not in the sense of lusting or anything but being there as someone he can rely on. However Mashuu finally decides to come to terms with his feelings and tell her the truth and...things get messy.

I'm still amazed this series balances a pretty taboo subject really well. Nothing feels gross or badly done. No bullshit fanservice. No crappy choices from characters. I continue to really enjoy this, the pacing, and the wonderful art.

A 4.5 out of 5.
