What it is About: All she wanted was an ordinary family, and that is exactly what Miki Koishikawa had. Two parents who were greatly devoted to each other and in love. That was until her parents went on a little vacation, met another couple AND fell in love with each others spouses! Now in a home with four parents, and a stepbrother (who is cute) she feels like shes in a soap opera. Only to make things feel more like a made for tv movie she has to deal with surviving school, friends who are having affairs and then ending up torn between a longtime crush and her new stepbrother.

My Opinion: While this is not one of my favorite Manga's I do like it a lot. Its more or less something I can get a good laugh with not to mention shake my head at. Entertaining to say the least it makes me think that some soap opera's could take a lesson from it instead of killing someone off and bringing them back to life!
