This review contains spoilers.
Reading Or Something Like It felt like slipping into someone’s half-remembered dream. It’s not your typical manga—it’s abstract, emotional, and a little surreal. The art style is soft but full of subtle tension, and the story doesn’t hold your hand. It drifts between reality and imagination, exploring identity, connection, and those weird, blurry moments in life when you don’t quite know how you feel.
It left me with more questions than answers—but in a good way. It’s one of those stories you don’t just read—you sit with it afterward, letting the mood sink in.
Not for everyone, but if you like introspective, almost poetic storytelling, it’s definitely worth a try.

A Sweet Tale of Found FamilyThis is the tale of a writer for whom motherhood wasn't on her radar, but supports her boyfriend's decision to take in his two nephews after their parents had passed away. She grows into her newfound role as a parental figure, but makes sure to stress that she doesn't plan on replacing their mother, and gives them the space to grieve. Little by little, the boys learn to be comfortable in their newfound family. A sweet read!

Very WholesomeI'm all caught up! I love slice of life reads, and its rare that I catch a somewhat serious one. I'm also glad that our minds were put to ease on this last chapter. They handled that so maturely. This is a great makeshift family, where everyone cares. Love to see it!

Adorable Found FamilyI’ve been following this manga for years and it was finally licensed. I love how Kina and Akito don’t force a parental relationship with the brothers and allows the two of them to grieve at their own pace.
It’s been almost two and a half years. There’s three other volumes that are ready to be translated.
