5.0 out of 5 stars
really heartwarming little brothers story,
By syzygy (Northern IL United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby & Me, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
The story of these two little brothers is really good. It basically follows the relationship of these two little brothers as they deal with everyday life; school, friendships, and home life. It has made me cry at times and made me laugh tons of times. Her drawings of the expression on the smallest boy are amazing, the biggest and most expressive eyes in all the manga world..lol..sooo cute!!! I highly recommend this cute little story.
Update: I have just read the final volume (18) and I am as enthused about this story as I was the first volume, even more so since her drawing improved dramatically over the years! Do not let the amount of volumes discourage you, the story of these two little boys and their father is amazing! Not all is peachy, there are funny moments, sad moments and cringe moments. But through it all, you will hate it ended!!! I really would love to see this anime! The last volume was WOW...can't say more because I do not want to spoil....MUST READ!!

Wonderful Story - Please read it!,

This review is from: Baby & Me, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I can understand why readers are hesitant to read it. I mean, who wants to read a story about some kid taking care of his little brother? Especially a toddler who cries and whines.
But the truth is that Akachan to Boku (released in the US by VIZ as Baby & Me) is a wonderful manga series full of love, laughter and tears. The characters are wonderful. The cast is full of well rounded characters that are flawed and truthful. The story is centered around 10-year-old Takuya. He and his little brother Minoru have lost their mother in a tragic accident. Their father is loving, but is often busy with work. Poor Takuya must spend his free-time taking care of a toddler. The manga is full of slice of life moments in the lives of the men/boys of this family. It's heartwarming, sweet, and also tragic. Throughout the story, you feel for Takuya, the pressures in his life, and the loss. But also for Minoru, who is a curious 2 year old. There are great bits with both of them in school. And with wacky neighbors. I don't know if I can express how touching the story is (without major spoilers). I think teens will relate to Takuya, the stress he feels, and the unfairness life sometimes holds.
