A cute and heartwarming love story between a single dad and the manager of a flower shop; perfect for springtime. With that said, the plot is simplistic, and not worth re-reading as there wasn’t much depth to the story or the characters. I thought for sure that the theme of loss/death would be explored more, but the characters most affected by it seem to be long over any stages of grief and talk about it with lots of smiles. I liked that they utilized the secondary character, Satou-kun, to learn more about our protagonist. I was a bit worried they'd just cast him to the

side once the main pairing started to get closer, but he was prominently featured throughout and was a good source of comedic relief. There is a kid, Zen, but he’s just there to look cute and provide a quickly resolved conflict in one of the chapters. As for the art, while I have no issue with the style (it’s good, just very simplistic), I couldn’t help to be a bit disappointed that for a story about flowers, the beauty of them isn’t really conveyed at all. Lastly, there are some hints at a possible polyamorous relationship? (not directly mentioned at all, but has the potential to head-canon it)
You’ll enjoy Koisuru Barairo Tenchou if you like: ex-delinquent, kids in BL, unrequited/one-sided love, fluff.
