The premise and the first half of the story really might turn off a lot of people and believe me it did the same to me as well. But there's actually a reason for this behavior. The boy was experiencing everything his father did in his childhood which is making his memories mess up with his father's thus the distasteful crush love started. The second half of the story however completely made a 180° jump and we were given Ninomae as the form of a medicine which would later cure our Male lead from his weird complex. The story is worth reading and very ... enjoyable. The art work is especially one should enjoy reading. The love story which started rather slowly in the second half was unique, different, somewhat realistic and very wholesome. I repeat don't stop reading and continue. You will understand why he is doing this and how big of a character growth he will get in the last few chapters.

"I'm in love with my mother...I think."

From the creator of Mysterious Girlfriend you know your getting yourself into weirder obscure human nature of things, and it just continues here. Ookumo-chan Flashback is a story of coming into adolescence. Minorou our protagonist, experiences the memories of his late father when he was in love with his mother. Although oddly enough, those same feeling start transcending into his world with his mother. It's peculiar in that weird way, almost crossing the borderline of taboo, but it never reaches that point.

His mother is a manga artist throwing many hints to Mysterious Girlfriend X, another series from the ... author, it's nice to see subtle hints. His crush is so similar to his mother that she's in the manga club trying to become a manga artist herself. A bit of attachment theory, in which we try to find someone to marry that show the similar behaviors and appearances of our parents. So that's nice to see play out.

It's a charming manga that shows the growth into adolescence with many unique feelings one might experience. Overall it's a very wholesome experience that doesn't go overboard with some themes and the art is just a visual heart-warming.

It is shown that mr. riichi ueshiba often has an involvement of "mothers" in his story just like in nazo no kanojo x, but this time it is really great over all.

the concept starts off as suzuki minoru gaining access to his deceased fathers older memories which included his mother and his father's romantic relationship, ookumo aya, his mother is a person which he gained a little interest in which is really bad considering they are in a parent and child relationship, this has become a problem for minoru as his flashbacks/memories are being mixed with reality creating a certain attraction to his mother.

and through ... the story we can find that minoru really tries his best to know whats good and wrong by his own judgement, he finds himself hanging out with a girl named ninomae, the reason for this is because her and his mother are a bit similar, the story goes as minoru taking a liking into ninomae while slowly ignoring the flashbacks that occured by similarity of events in the present, he takes a liking to ninomae, and thus furthers their relationship through out the story.

The art is a 8 because it indeed is a nice art by riichi ueshiba made by hand
I enjoyed it alot as well

over all 9
if it had an anime adaptation i reckon it would really be a masterpiece.

Wholesome, great art, likeable characters and unique story.

"The innocence of first love" : nothing describes Ookumo-chan Flashback better than this.
This manga is clearly underrated and deserves more attention!
I put this manga in "my plan to read" for so long thinking it was not worth it. Turns out I was wrong and the very first chapter immediately made me invested in the characters.

If you are into slice-of-life involving non-cliche romcom then... THIS IS A MUST READ.

Why? I will say because "best girls".
Wait.. "Best girls"? so you are telling me that it's a hare-
Nope.. it is not and you will soon understand why.

Bro this made me feel all sorts of things. This manga may have awakened something within me that never should have been done in the first place.

The story pace is slow then knee jerks you into the action at times. Plot-wise I would have never picked it up since in my house it's considered weird, especially in a stereotypical Chinese household. I was convinced by some video that made me start reading this manga by the channel hazel (you should check her video about it). Also, the art is great, particularly the expressions of the main characters but I gotta confess it ain't for ... the faint of heart if you ain't into moms.

Overall good read but chirst if you can't handle this shit i.e incest vibes. you are missing out big time my guy.

I don't know how much I hurt myself after reading this. Even Nazo no Kanojo X didn't give me this feeling.
D*mn I really wanted an alternate ending.
Yes, I'm a degenerate I know. And I know that doujin exists for this reason, but d*mn I can't lie about my disappointment.

The story is as follows, mc has flashbacks about his mom in his father's POV. It's not a very unique story, but the way it executed itself was pretty great. Also, the fact that this is a short series makes it easier to binge with it's enjoyable pacing.
Why did I gave it a 6 then? Well, it's ... just that I would have like an alternate ending. But if you're not a degenerate like me, I'm sure you'd like the ending.

The characters are very enjoyable to say the least. As expected from Nazo no Kanojo X's author. But because of the short number of chapters, it can't help but left a lot of characters underdeveloped.
It's not really a problem since it did develop the main characters. But I can't help but think that there are a lot of potential left untouched.

The art is amazing as always. The sexy panels always pops out and give me feeling that I know I shouldn't have. I always have liked the author's art so you know I'll give it a pretty high score.

Overall, it's just a solid series with wholesome moments and great art. Don't let the fact that it might be incest stop you from reading this. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Read it yourself because it's good. If you don't like it, then that's okay. At least you've read it yourself and didn't just judge it even if you haven't read it.

(6.75/10)
