From Viz website Vol 13: How did Takuya's family get started? In this special flashback volume, meet Takuya's father, Harumi, in his days as a hardworking college student and womanizing bachelor. Struggling to make it in Tokyo without his parents' help, Harumi doesn't plan to settle down anytime soon...until a troubled girl named Yukako drifts into his life... Vol 14: chika's mature for a toddler--unnervingly so. But even the most precocious kids are still kids, and even Ichika sometimes wets the bed. With an ingenious cover-up and her little brother as an accomplice, maybe she won't have to admit it! Then Minoru gets his own kid-size car...and a kid-size case of road rage! And Takuya and his friends help a young woman crumbling under the pressures of new motherhood...
Some points: - I'd say vol 13 is the best of the series. It's Takuya's parents' story. It's quite good and moving. I was shocked to know about Harumi's past. - I like Harumi's friend Yuki. I hope he makes a comeback by the end of the series. He seems to be a grounded person and a good friend. - vol 14, back to kiddie side characters. It's a good read.
Bottom line, I'm glad I pick up this series again.
