A story about a widow moving on from her late husband, something that Natsuyuki Rendezvous had but didn't do as well as this one. Check.
A wholesome romance without unnecessary drama and rivals? Check.
A story with the same vibe as Chichi wo Hige? Check.
A protagonist who starts off innocent and ignorantly naive, grows to be a more mature, and thoughtful person? Check.
The best hook in this story is when she said "Can a freeter like you, possibly raise a child?" That hit me so hard, that I'd just had to read it, and it was so good. The art style isn't really the best, but it delivers the story well and is just the right slice of life that satisfies my taste. Though, the fanservice is kinda out of place at times, since instead of making me cry, I unironically laugh when that happens in a scene.
The slow yet simple progression of the story makes me so happy to look back at what happened at the start, and it's so satisfying to see how the male lead developed as a character. The dynamics of each character are so cute to see, and how they support and help each other is so wholesome.
Yet, even with that, they don't shy away from the mature stuff, and deal with themes, like grief, passion, raising children, maturity, college, and love. Both familial and romantic. I wish there were more chapters though but I don't think I could end the story better myself, as this ending is very satisfying and open enough to imagine.
