Yome ga Kore na mon de is actually quite surprising in this aspect. There’s no shortage of well drawn, titillating nudity in this manga yet I never felt like it was there to get me to slapping my base. It’s treated very casually and rarely becomes a focus of the manga outside of a few select panels where there is an actual point to going all in.
Other than that, My Sweet Alien is pure and lighthearted fun through and through. Its 13 well paced chapters take you through various amusing situations in a life of a man living with an alien wife and child without ever getting stale. In a little over 300 pages you get to see so much; from how extraterrestrial biology manages everyday chores to human society and technology rapidly advancing after everyone’s friends and neighbours start revealing their alien origin. All seen from the perspective of an adorable and loving couple.
What adds to this manga being such a nice and short read is how excellent the art is throughout. The quality of art immediately gives away Miyata’s strong grasp of fundamental drawing skills and he puts it to a good use by filling out every panel with details and extra touches for those who are willing to look closer. Characters in particular are always drawn with remarkable consistency which becomes more impressive when you consider that using more or less realistic anatomy is no easy feat.
While it’s not a manga I can see myself re-reading anytime and it didn’t warm my heart as much as something like Amaama to Inazuma or Ryushika Ryushika, it’s still a very solid in SoL genre that’s worth reading if you want something short and sweet.
