When I saw this on Netflix, I mostly turned it on because it was short and because I was curious if there would be any queer elements to it. I can't say that this is the best show I've ever seen, but I really don't have any objective complaints about it -- more than anything, it felt pretty 'normal' levels of interesting, not outstanding. I think it has a nice message and has good moments of humor and emotions. For the time they had to work with, I think the show does a good job of showing us the important moments of Kentaro's pregnancy and the progression and changes in the relationships shown.

If you're looking for something quick to watch that won't make you too emotional the whole way through, isn't too fluffy or comedic, and has a foot in reality (despite the whole 'cis men getting pregnant' aspect lol), this is a good choice.

On a subjective level, there were times I felt a bit bored or just wanted to hurry up and get to the next plot point. Also, I was glad that Aki and Kentaro didn't really seem to get into a romantic relationship. I enjoyed their friendship and the scenes of them co-parenting at the end were cute but I don't think they had the right kind of chemistry to portray like, falling in love with each other. So I was pleased they ended in the places they did, and that they didn't have to give up themselves to the roles of Mother and Father. Also the baby was very cute but since I can't read any Japanese I have no idea if they were a boy or a girl? Lmao it doesn't really matter but I thought I'd mention it
