29-year old Suda Makoto is an average [[Salaryman]] and leads an ordinary life in every aspect if not for the fact that he is raising a child alone. To top it up, the child is not even related to him, being the son of his girlfriend during his university days. After his [[Posthumous Character|girlfriend]], a single mother, died in a tragic accident and the existence of her son became known to him, he [[Someone to Remember Him By|decided to adopt him]] and treat him as his own. Trouble began when the child, being [[Momma's Boy|very emotionally attached to his mother]] and not old enough to understand the fact that she was already dead, kept on clamouring for her. In a desperate bid to placate his new son, Makoto recklessly decided to fulfil the role of a mother via [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|cross-dressing]]. For eight years, he successfully cultivated the image of a [[Hot Mom|perfect mother]] at home while working as his normal self outside home. All seems uneventful until he fell in love for the first time in many years with a woman he met in a crowded train one day, which threatens to upset the delicate status quo he had created….
 
A seinen manga by Kindaichi Renjuurou, this series actually deals very little about the trials of single parenthood and focuses more on the impact of [[Living a Double Life]] on a person's [[The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life|dating life]] as well as the difficulties on [[Keeping Secrets Sucks|keeping secrets]] to a person's close ones. It is nonetheless a heartwarming manga with many comedic moments to make an enjoyable read.
Line 47:
* [[The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life]]: It took almost four volumes for Makoto to clear things up Natsumi.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Makoto displays some awareness of himself being a character of the manga in a few occasions.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Aya [[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons|mistakes the relationship]] between Makoto and Natsumi as that of homosexual, as Makoto's disguise is simply too convincing for her to suspect anything else.
* [[Momma's Boy]]: Takashi. Very much so.
* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: Satoru and Natsumi are not blood related, and he even has a crush on her, although he refuses to [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|make any advances or reveal his feelings to her]].
Line 65:
* [[The Stoic]]: Satoru by default. Which makes his [[Not So Stoic]] moments pretty hilarious.
* [[Survival Mantra]]: A comedic variant occurred in Chapter 8, when Makoto kept on reminding himself to act normal when he unwittingly found himself alone with Natsumi at her residence while still in his female persona.

* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Natsumi. [[Berserk Button|Woe to those]] who tries to deprive her of sweet foods.
** Takashi to a lesser extent.
