Shuu Asuou, an SF writer whom Taiga Obinata worked together with as an editor, turned up in front of Obinata’s household with his ‘brother’, Yuuta Asuou. Obinata brothers - Taiga, Juu Sanan, Akinobu Jinan and Mayumi - were shocked, even more when he asked whether they’d heard from Shima-san. ‘How did you about know Shima-nee?’ ‘How’d I know her… I’m her husband.’ After a call from Shima-nee (whom Yuuta always imagined in comical image of a woman cracking a whip going ‘Hohohohoho’ - her face was never shown), Obinata brothers let Shuu and Yuuta stay in their house.
Many conflicts arose (Yuuta and Juu can’t help having a row everyday), and although the Obinatas liked the Asuous, they - especially Mayumi - couldn’t help but wonder at how odd the situation was; Shuu didn’t seem to be in contact with Shima-nee either. (’Shima-san really loves you guys; she talks about you whenever we meet.’ ‘Yeah, and you met her like what, two or three times?’.) It became even more suspicious as they found out that Taiga and Shuu used to be romantically involved in high school. Mayumi, the youngest brother, seemed to be rather jealous by his brother’s attention to Shuu; they were irrevocably very close before (and still were). Shuu commented once as Mayumi glomped on Taiga: ‘誰かどう見ても危険なロリコンのお兄さんだよ (If someone sees you two, no matter how he looks at it, you’re a loli-con brother).’
This comic is based on a yaoi novel written by Akira Sugano, but I’m not familiar with the novel. Ninomiya’s art is warm, simple, modern, cute but not overdone.
The series continues as 子供は止まらない (Kodomo wa tomaranai)

[…] If the focus of the Mainichi Seiten! is the relationship between Taiga Obinata and Shuu Asuou, Kodomo wa tomaranai is about Yuuta Asuou (Shuu’s adopted son) and Mayumi Obinata (the youngest of Obinata family). […]
