A summary of the canon: Harumi and Sengoku are friends and single dads who decide to live together to make the daily life of parenting easier. Cooking for their preschool-aged children proves to be a challenge, so they start taking classes and learning new recipes.
It's a cooking manga, so every chapter features a meal being prepared and eaten (and everything looks delicious), and the plot is a chill slice-of-life about the challenges of parenting and the value of choosing who to make a family with. I love the quiet, low-stakes atmosphere, cute family dynamics, and the sincere moments when characters deepen their understanding of each other.
The art is lovely and expressive (it's by the same author who did Cherry Magic!), and you can read the three volumes that are out in English so far (pay to read) here on MangaPlanet.
What do you love about this ship/these ships?: Shockingly it's NOT BL, but with a setup like this how could I resist!! Harumi and Sengoku have a delightful mismatched, odd couple dynamic. Sengoku used to be a delinquent and still has a rough, aggressive demeanor, while Harumi is an easy-going, soft-spoken manga editor. I love the deepening intimacy of two people living together who aren't a couple to start off, and especially the potential for two guys who are shown to get mistaken for a gay couple wondering if all those people might be right.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Getting-together and first times; characters grappling with sexuality; drunk sex; rushed, quiet sex while the kids are asleep; anything expanding on the way that they've become family to each other. And of course anything focused on food, cooking, and sharing a meal.
There are currently zero (0) fanworks for the fandom on AO3 and the tag doesn't properly exist yet, so if you're the type to enjoy kicking off a new, tiny fandom, please come join me :3
Content warnings: Parents getting angry at/frustrated with small children and punishing them (these incidents are always resolved afterwards); one instance of a character talking about past domestic abuse.
