Musume no Iede

Musume no Iede

A manga about a high school girl who runs away from her mother to the home of her divorced father and his boyfriend.

We’ve discussed this manga on a Triple Dip episode.

This is my favorite work by Takako Shimura that I’ve read. I like this much better than Wandering Son because each the story jumps from different character to character. Most of the stories involve some kind of family issues. I love how they setup an unfaithful scumbag and then dedicated a chapter to flesh him out with his relationships to other characters in the story. I also give a lot of credit to Shimura for including characters with bigger body types and exploring them.

It’s a lovely series and I wish it would get an official adaptation.
