Bambi to Dhole
Yukimi is her real name but everyone calls her Bambi. She is the student discipline committee member who locks students out of the school if they're a minute late, but sneaks cigarette breaks on the roof. Lone wolf (Dhole, Asiatic wild dog) transfer student Tetsu (everyone pronounces it Tooru) Nagasawa hops the fence after she locks it and breaks her cigarette in half when he finds her on the roof, but he's a super nice guy to a mother and baby on the train. Bambi already has a boyfriend but will the wolf steal her heart?

It's a bit of a spoiler for the first couple of chapters but I'm posting this one here because Tetsu is a teen dad raising his son with his grandmother's help. There's only 4 chapters out at this point but it's had a pretty strong start. Being part of a family is the big theme so far, although it's a shoujo romance so obviously things will go in that direction as well!

Wild Rose (kindle version, emanga version)
Take has been watching Kanda-san single-handedly take care of his young daughter Mone for quite a while now. When Kanda's wife finally shows her face at the shop only after Kanda has gone home, Take can't help but demand an explanation for why she'd abandon her family with such a great husband and daughter. But when Kanda's wife blurts out “because he told me he's gay!” it's definitely the last thing Take was expecting! (names corrected to match official translation)

The story is three chapters + an extra (nsfw). The other stories in the book are unrelated. There's quite a bit of depth to be so short and I really love the art style as well. There's a substantial amount of BL with single dads but I try to refrain from dumping titles here indiscriminately -- I feel like the ones that really qualify for this thread are stories where the children are fully-realized characters who interact with the adults and aren't just props or plot devices. That's one of the things I really liked about this little story -- Take playing with Mone was adorable, and it was clear he wasn't just thirsty for some single dad action but really cared about them both. Also Grandma is fantastic :haw:

Same author also did Itoshi no Nekokke which is excellent and probably stands to be mentioned here in passing -- not a dad manga but the main characters have a single mom roommate and there are some cute interactions with her kid.


:3:

FYI the Kindle edition's formatting really sucks; I actually read the fan translation first then bought it so I could read the rest, then realized it was awful and returned it so I could get the emanga version and turns out that one is a couple bucks cheaper as well, lol.

Working Holiday
One summer day, a fifth grade boy name Susumu suddenly appear before former biker gang member now current host club host, Okita Yamato and said that Okita is his father! Afraid of being a bad influence on his son, Yamato transforms himself into a daytime working parcel delivery man. But being a father is harder than it seems as Yamato struggles to become a good role model for his son.

Checked and didn't see it posted already, but if someone did and I missed it - sorry! This is another one I'd apparently followed without reading and forgot it existed, but looks like the second volume has finally been picked up by another group. It isn't spectacular, either story-wise or art-wise, but is a solid slice of life and is notable IMO for the mother not being dead or otherwise permanently out of the picture even though (so far) she hasn't actually been present, just spoken about. It might be better to read after the rest of volume 2 is available -- it's a short series so that's all there is.

edit - looking into it a bit more (I'm relying on google translate though so grain of salt), seems like it's based on this guy's tweets about his wife and family :3:

Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie
A man comes home one day to have his wife give him divorce papers. A woman comes home to her apartment one day to find a woman she doesn’t know wrapped in a towel coming out of the shower. They both get conned by the same real estate conman on the same house, a 4LDK. So now the man, his two sons, the woman, and her two daughters live in the same house.

I tried this one out, and while it can be very cute and fluffy, it's got this unsettling undercurrent about how men can't raise a family on their own, or how women can't work. I mean, the main couple are literally the perfect housewife and perfect salaryman, but utterly incompetent when taken outside their respective comfort zones, with the apparent moral being that they shouldn't have tried and should just get remarried already. And of course since they're both so perfect for each other, the story has to stall itself by introducing weird villains to constantly test their relationship which cannot possibly falter.

Also, for some reason it seemed to be trying to pair up the kids too, which was weird.

This one kinda stretches the "dad manga" thing but whatever. If something like Usagi Drop can be posted in the OP then I can post about Holiday Love. You can read it legally in the full on Mangabox's english site.

The premise is that the stay at home mother who does nail art finds out her husband has secretly been cheating on her (emotionally, and then physically) with a woman he met on a dating site. The entire series so far switches between the characters and how they all try to deal with what's best for their kid(s) while a bunch of side plots between the adults start to surface. Even if some of the characters are flawed and can be considered evil/abusive they never make them into one dimensional villains; They all have their own issues that's contributing to how they feel and act out and they all get time to explore that.

It's bittersweet and ongoing but so far I'm liking the family dynamics and how the focus is on the father trying to make things right with his wife and daughter so he can stay in their lives. It's also nice that the wife actually exists in this story and has a large part.

I've kinda been avoiding that one mostly because I don't like stories about cheating. Not saying they can't be really good just a personal preference. I think stories about families are perfectly fine to post here though, and it's good to have some options that aren't my 99% fluff recs.

The art looks really nice and kind of familiar so I looked up the artist and realized why -- she's drawn a ton of yaoi manga under another name lol
