Would You Like To Be A Family?
by Koyama
lighthearted
fast-paced
ARC received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is a sweet BL manga that follows three simple, happy stories. The titular Would You Like To Be A Family is my personal favorite, following Take, a wallflower designer who becomes tangled with a coworker in a different department after running into him and his son at the supermarket. Kuma's Feeling follows a naive, experienced high senior who has his gay awakening after seeing his friend's older brother's ex run out crying. The premise and their behavior were a bit weird, but at least Kuma was an adult. 💀 The last, The First Love Psychology, is a cute college romance between an extroverted, helpful first year and an introverted psychology major too obsessed with surveys and data to see what's right in front of him.
Would You Like To Be A Family? was an odd collection. I would have liked to see more development with the first story, or at least have the next two stories be more related to the family/child aspect. I probably would have loved this as a teen, but as an adult I found this lacking a lot of depth. This gets an extra half star for having one of my favorite tropes, but beyond that, this was very, very simple. If you're looking for some cute first love stories with no angst, this will be a nice, quick read for you.
