I received this book from Net Galley and Kodansha Comics in exchange for an honest review.

Kakushigoto: My Dad's Secret Ambition is a very cute and humorous manga about a single father raising his daughter and trying to hide his occupation from her at the same time. The manga is setup as short chapters of each escapade/event, and the humor tends to hit in rhythms similar to how 4panel manga does. Most of the humor is derived from misunderstandings or close calls with Kakushi Goto and his daughter Hime.

While father and daughter are the main focus here, I found the supporting cast to be super interesting. In this first volume, we did get to see a bit of each character more than I expected and got to get a good glimpse at their personalities as well. I have to say my favorite being Hime's teacher who is a fan of her father's work, yet tends to misunderstand him in ways that leads her to think there are budding feelings.

Overall I think this is a very amusing read that people should give a chance. It can switch between laugh out loud and heartfelt moments seamlessly. I believe this series will be nice to read with ample time between volumes, as I do worry that this premise could get tiresome if you try to binge read. Overall I have to recommend this series and I'll definitely be checking out the next volume to see how this series grows moving forward.
