Dion Ijeh May 12 2022 5:38 am I love this series, powerful story

Milkl Apr 25 2022 12:44 pm Binge watched it just now. At first, I started watching it because of Ueno Juri, my favorite Japanese actress. Secondly, I was fed up with Korean Drama so I thought watching Japanese dorama once in a while would be refreshing.

The theme might sound cringey, and some people might question the logic behind it. But, keeping all the confusion aside, this is a rather heartwarming dorama. Just like most Japanese dorama I've watched, of course the drama would contain morally high and uplifting story. It's worth to watch, honestly.

Tina Dee Chandler Apr 22 2022 11:18 am So great to take a manga and make a tv show. Not sure how the cismen got pregnant, but what a fun concept. Thank You making this fun film. ✌?

samosa Mar 29 2022 10:25 pm okay i get it, but how does the science work? cuz it seems like its universe where both sexes can get pregnant, so how does that mean to effevct the biology. jesus this is just a plot hole

Taisho Mar 25 2022 9:40 am A whole new level of weirdness of Japan..

Williane Santos Dec 07 2021 2:57 pm Okay, okay, so much for me... i can't wait for this. 2022 is still so... so... argh...

Mizuki Oct 22 2021 11:58 am That's interesting... Takumi ❓ pregnant ? can't wait for this

Aliainnesghazlan Apr 18 2021 4:11 am Wow both are my favs. They must be delivering something good

Kumiko Apr 09 2021 2:30 am Ooo. Came across this series awhile ago. Gotta say it's a great. It's basically social commentary on pregnancy, except men are the ones facing the realities of being pregnant literally.

manaal Apr 08 2021 12:45 am seems like an interesting story after reading the synopsis. i’ll be looking forward to this one. i’m really curious about how the story will progress.
