This would have been one of my favourites manga had some elements been altered properly and the realism hadn't been half assed. The character were half real half shoujofied.  *Spoilers* Komugi: the mc was an immature former delinquent with a knack to make anyone fall for her charms be it tohru his mother his sister or of course the brother dai. She was like shoujofied onizuka. I just didn't like the fact that she was immature enough to not properly make dai understand and even had her heart flutter for him Tohru: the husband who was practically present only as a name in all manga except for the beginning was in the rose glasses a perfect person who knew everyone in his family and komugi so nicely that he practically built the plot. He is so smart that he knows that his interference would lead to komugi not actually fitting in the family so chose to get lost and let her do the fitting herself. In reality he would be a pretty irresponsible person who thinks everything will work as he assumes. The fact that he didn't even had a smartphone or if he did he had switched to another one without telling anyone is actually bad so much that it is one of the most stupid points about this manga. And for reals who tf uses a tape to tell he's leaving for sooo long. But this was a manga so acceptable ig. Dai: the hormonal teen who is tried to be shown as a sharp and level headed boy who still falls for his to be sister-in-law. This contradictory part is the reason why he is hormonal. Even so I would've liked a cleaner end to his feelings. The last thing that was the most unnecessary about this manga was yoshino. She was solely made to escalate dai's feelings. Had she wasn't there the development would be a whole lot interesting and entertaining rather than annoying. Also lastly I would've liked to see tohru once more and a wedding or either a married life scene so it would've felt more complete.  All in all this had big potential but turned out to be just an incomplete shoujo manga .

Interesting premise but flawed to the point of becoming uncomfortable  I was hoping that it'll be a nice and comedic about family shenanigans and while it starts off that way Dai quickly catches feelings for his sister in law (which is just,not it for me) coupled with the perverted friend, peeper grandpa, and brocon sister, makes this an unpleasant read for anyone with an actual family. Oh but if you do like the whole non blood related family trope then you're also in for a disappointment because that doesn't happen. Just heavily set up and rejected
