Love So Life

Love So Life is a 2008 manga.

Shiharu Nakamura is a high-school student living in a orphanage, working to save up money to one day, when she grows up, open her own daycare. One day, a man called Seiji Matsunaga asks her to take care of his twin nephews, Aoi and Akane, as he himself can't take care of them alone. He offers to pay double for what she earns at the daycare. Shiharu, who loves the children, wants the money, and has a little crush on Seiji, gladly accepts.

Written and drawn by Kaede Kouichi. Serialized on Hakusensha's Hana to Yume.

Tropes used in Love So Life include:

Always Identical Twins: Aoi and Akane are virtually indistinguishable.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: In chapter 13, while playing with the kids with a water gun, Nakamura gets herself obviously wet, exposing her underwear. Seiji notices and covers her with a shirt before someone else can see.
I Want My Mommy: At a flashback in chapter 12, Nakamura is seeing crying for her mother at the orphanage. Considering she just lost her mother and is eight years old, that is perfectly understandable.
Paper-Thin Disguise: In chapter 14, Nakamura began to wear a cloth covering her head so she can look less conspicuous and people won't discover she babysits for Matsunaga because she fears that being misunderstood as him seducing a minor. Unfortunately, the only thing this manages to accomplish is making more people pay attention to her.
Parental Abandonment
- Shiharu's father died before she was born, and her mother when she was five.
- The twins' mother died when they were almost two years old. Their father ran away shortly after, leaving Seiji with the duty of taking care of them.
This Is Reality: Chapter 14. Seiji explains how a wolf couldn't swallow a human woman to dissipate Aoi's fear of wolves after hearing the story of the Little Red Riding Hood by Nakamura. Of course, this is a realistic manga series, so it sounds more reasonable than most examples.
