I loved these stories. They are humorous, romantic, cosy and engaging. The manga is also really well drawn and all the different characters are so expressive. Above all the stories are simply delightful.
This is a volume of three different stories exploring the issue of family and showing that each family can be very different.

In the first story two work colleagues discover they live near each other and a friendship develops. Takemura avoids his work colleagues. He has been hurt in the past because he is gay. He bumps into his colleague Natsui in the local supermarket and he is invited to supper. Natsui is a single parent having adopted the son of his friends when they died, and suddenly Takemura finds that he is part of a family unit. Two lonely young men find each other.

Kuma is a high school student often mistaken for a thug but when he meet Yagi , a university student, he realises that he isn't that bad and that he has love and compassion to offer despite his appearance and mannerisms. In the third story, Kodama is a quiet university student who becomes friends with Harada who is extrovert and outgoing. From friends to lovers to family.

I really enjoyed these stories. They were funny, hopeful and heart warming. I hope there will be a second volume. I especially enjoyed the first story.
