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 [[MommasMomma'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 Dresser|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.

----
=== This series provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Adorably Precocious Child]]: Takashi, Makoto's son.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Beneath the Mask]]: Fujimoto Natsumi, Makoto's crush, puts up a professional, no-nonsense demeanour during work and only reveals her inner self to her family and close friends.
* [[Bishounen]]: Satoru, Natsumi's step-brother.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: The characters dine in "Dos Burger" (a reference to the Mos Burger chain) restaurants occasionally.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Narumi, Takashi's birth mother, is always depicted with them in flashbacks.
** {{spoiler|Her eyes are finally revealed in a photograph Makoto used [[The Inner Reveal|to convince]] Takashi about the truth of his identity in Chapter 85.}}
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Glamorous Single Mother]]: Makoto gives this impression, since by the start of the series he had already overcame most of the difficulties of single parenthood.
* [[Going Native]]: Makoto towards cross-dressing. Despite his vehement denials.
* [[Good Parents]]: Makoto's parents are that to him, and are even willing to [[Open -Minded Parent|support his masquerade]], which in turn influenced his parenting towards Takashi.
* [[The Glasses Come Off]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] in the case of Natsumi, who puts on glasses during work to conceal her usual bumbling nature and project a no-nonsense, professional demeanour.
* [[Harsh Word Impact]]
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Makoto displays some awareness of himself being a character of the manga in a few occasions.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Aya [[Right for The 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.
* [[MommasMomma'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]].
* [[Office Lady]]: Natsumi
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* [[Tsundere]]: Aya. Which is even [[Lampshaded]] by Takashi.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Makoto.
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Makoto's method of disguise, including makeup. It is so effective that it [[Color Failure|shocked his friends]] who witnessed his makeover live in one occasion.
