If the author is able to continue this, it would be interesting.

Whoa, hold the damn phone. A wife and mother left her family because she didn't want the husband to give up on his restaurant? What the frick frack dilly wack kind of jack is that? That is one the most forced and retarded forms of drama I have ever seen. Just that alone makes me think this author is horrible at writing stories. It's a one-shot but dang.

@Akemua idk man the amount of mangas Ive read where the parent(s) of the MC do shit like this or run off with a lover are ridiculous.

 

[Akemua]

@iMaztar Well, ya. I hate those with a passion but, in a messed up way it makes sense. This though? She left to I guess die? Go live with her parents? Idk, all it said was she left her home because she was sick and he couldn't support her and the restaurant. So she left, not because she didn't love him, but because she loved him too much and she couldn't let him give up his dreams of owning a restaurant.

In the process, abandoning her only child and literally never contacting him. My point is: For apparently a kind woman and someone who supposedly loves her family, it makes no sense at all for her to do that. I understand it was a one-shot so maybe he didn't have enough time to elaborate but, my other point still stands; it was a horrible way to force unnecessary drama.

@Akemua it says she got sick a lot because she worked in the shop everyday and he was going to get a regular job so she didnt have to work at the shop anymore thats why she left, its a stupid kindness that brings more pain than happiness,

 

[Akemua]

@iMaztar Oh, didn't see that part. Sorry, read this 14 days ago. But, ya, I agree. Definitely stupid reason regardless.

Honestly, this could have done better without the pretensions towards being a genre-aware adolescent-fantasy romcom: Without those bits it would have been a simple, silly, lighthearted feel-good story that would have stood up much better on its own.

@Akemua: If it was a little better written I'd have said that there were likely extenuating circumstances that the kid just didn't fully understand... Sadly, however, I have difficulty giving this that sort of benefit-of-the-doubt.

 

[Akemua]

@Pokari Lol, agreed.
