Papa datte, Shitai

This series managed to be very sweet within the five minutes each episode had. There wasn't just smut - there were also emotions, and portrayed problems that single parents can face from being solely responsible for their child and meeting someone new. Story (7/10): The manga is currently untranslated, so I can't speak for any possible changes that occurred in this animation. There wasn't one rigid problem throughout the series, but there were problems that gradually developed overtime that the protagonists faced and resolved, either individually or together. Art (8/10): I liked the light blushes on the characters' faces, and the art was simple. The anatomy wasfine too. If you're fond of sex scenes, you may enjoy that aspect as well. My favourite art must be the images in the ending theme song, where we see the main couple and Ichika (the child) together. I enjoyed seeing the simplicity and joy in the ending theme song images. Sound (10/10): The ending theme is just so adorable and wholesome. I'm glad the voice actors sang together! It's heartfelt and really expresses the family vibe that both protagonists, along with the child bring when they're together. And I have no complaints for the voice acting. There were moments when Naruse sounded genuinely conflicted or worried, and other times when he was assertive and sincere. Asumi sounded serious and genuine too, and his persistence was made clear from the bottom of his heart. Character (8/10): Due to how short the series is, we don't know a lot of things about the characters or know them extremely well as individuals. However, their feelings and the way they interacted when they were together were genuine. Naruse, as the older person and as a single father, had his own anxieties that older partners sometimes have. Asumi, as the younger person who can probably meet other people, certainly had his own reflections too. Despite the reasons why they may have chosen not to be together, it was nice to see both parties enter a healthy relationship, and they both care for Ichika. Enjoyment (8/10): It's not so common to see explicit BL animated, so I was happy about that. There were moments when I was curious about what would happen in the next episode, or I finished an episode feeling content. I enjoyed this series for what it was. Overall (8/10): This series was worth my time. If I'm in the mood to watch something short and sweet again, I would consider this. There was an overall feeling that love doesn't always have a specific age attached to it. Sometimes, people don't dream of dating and finding a life partner again after they divorce or if they're a single parent, so it's nice to see that indeed, love can still happen. There were father-son moments between Naruse and Ichika which were one of the highlights to me lol, so it wasn't just the romance that got me. After seeing this series, I’m open to seeing more stories that feature single parents falling in love.

If you're a yaoi veteran.. prepare to be disappointed I, like many fujoshis/fudanshis, am pretty ecstatic about the recent boost in the making of yaoi animes (it's about time, amirite) so if you've been a yaoi fan for a long time, read a lot of manga, saw all the classic yaoi animes .. just know this is nothing like them. I can see that it is a clear attempt to beeee like them, but not really. the story can be pulled from anyone's ass and the sex scenes are, well, I can only describe them as being animated by virgins. anyway the only case I'd recommend this animeis if you're thirsty for yaoi and you've already watched everything else. ENJOY.

This was another one of those anime where it's short enough you can watch real quick and knock off your list. And extra bonus points if you're a yaoi fangirl because it. is. EVERYWHERE. lol the first scene of the very first episode is a close up of two guys kissing, yeah, you can tell right away if this is going to be your cup of tea or not. There's literally no story to this, it's just an ecchi anime of two guys doing it (and yeah sure, there's the kid and all that cute stuff, but come on, we all know the producers ofthis show weren't looking to make this a family drama).
