As Satoko and Mashuu hang out and grow closer and she sees what life at home for Mashuu is really like, Satoko’s boss/ex-boyfriend starts to notice changes in her behavior.
While this series has a reputation, I’m getting Kotaro Lives Alone vibes from Satoko and Mashuu. However, when Shiikawa (the ex) mentioned “how would you feel if some random adult was doing all this stuff for your kid” it his home as a parent. As a reader, I’m seeing this from a different perspective as someone in the world and I get how it would seem odd. As presented to us, we see Satoko just being nice (so far) to a kid that needs it but, yeah; it could come off as creepy. A stranger could have ill intentions and I sincerely hope that is not where this story is going. 4 out of 5.
