I enjoyed the plot complexities however I didn't think the writer properly addressed the fact that the birth mother was irresponsible and created havoc by having a child and keeping that critical information from the father. She was too easily given a pass. I also read that single mothers in Japan in 2024 are very rare and usually exist at the poverty level. That fact is true of single mothers in most societies. I found it to be unrealistic that the father character and his partner of 3 years were unable to communicate more truthfully and were not able to openly express affection for each other.

The extent that several male characters were supportive of women and child rearing was refreshing to see especially in a paternalistic society which is prevalent in most developed countries. The male lead was an example of role reversal and may influence thinking on the subject of gender roles in
societies.
The acting of the ML was refreshing spot on!
