Baby and Me! :)

I ended up sleeping at 4 am again and woke up at 9! Ahhh.. KILL ME! *bangs head on the table* >:-(

Since I wouldn't able to sleep, I tried to re-read one of my all time favorite mangas: Aka-chan to Boku! :D The story is about a 11-year-old boy named Takuya Enoki who has to take care of his 2-year-old lil brother Minoru Enoki together with his father Harumi Enoki after his mother passes away in a car accident. There are also stories about people around them like Takuya's classmate Akihiro (who I think is the coolest character throughout the story!) with his family of 5 siblings. The story plot is totally cuuuute! I can't stand this! I'm totally into this manga, never got bored of it even after finished reading it million times! :)

I happened to read the manga when I was visiting my friend who collects the series. I wasn't interested at first, seeing the cover and the very first pages. I was into romance manga that time. However, I finally decided to read it seriously after finished reading all her mangas. That was then I realized how good and interesting this manga truly is. It has a whole different plot and story with the mangas I was used to read.

Reading the manga feels like watching the growth of the charaters step by step. You get to see each individual's problem and how they face life. The feelings of people are observed very closely, and the realistic descriptions of Takuya's life are one of the praised points in this manga. Not only the story's plots and details, but the stable, clean drawings is also one of the attractive points. I love Takuya's and Akihiro's family, they give me warmth in my heart each time I read the manga. They can even bring tears to my eyes, like the meeting between Harumi and Takuya's mom Yukako. The Enoki family is such a lovely family. My... Words can't describe how much I like this manga!
