Akkan Baby (Manga)

Akkan Baby is a Shoujo manga about a stupid-crazy teen couple that now have to deal with the issues of teen pregnancy. Even though it deals with a serious issue it can be hard to take it seriously with a couple this dumb. This turned out to be an unexpectedly great shoujo manga, as it is able to deliver its jokes in such a stupidly funny way but still retain some realism, for it to become serious whenever it needs to.

It has a very standard artwork which is typical for shoujo manga however when things get whacky, so does the artwork. The two main characters are what bring the whacky artwork to life, with their hilarious antics and weird personalities. Yet apart form the two main characters, there really isn't anyone else that is developed as well, in this short manga.

This is a really enjoyable manga that manages to deal with the seriousness of teen pregnancy in such a fun way. Even though it's short enough to finish in a day the story doesn't feel rushed at all, as it develops nicely however I do feel that more could have been done.
