A show with a plot this bizarre could only come from real life. While the dynamic between father and son seems awkward to me, the acting collaboration between Osugi Ren and Chiba Yudai is adorable enough that the show never seems to feel stunted. It has a strong supporting cast, too, with all of the characters having well-crafted quirks that make you want to follow their individual stories long after the main narrative has ended.

Overall, a heartwarming series that's surprisingly profound despite the light atmosphere that it aims for during most of its runtime. Because of the interesting parallel between the son's journey into adulthood and the father's eventual acceptance of his old age and the quick passage of sweet time, there's never a dull moment in this show. The episodes are very short, too. I would definitely want to watch parts of this again.

PS I was very sad to hear about what happened to Osugi Ren. Knowing that made watching this show feel even more significant.
