A good 'beginner' manga, but quickly outgrew it

I've actually read this twice, but didn't record the re-read date in my spreadsheet, and both reads pre-date joining Natively. Ah well.

This book is mostly wholesome family comedy. There were a few chapters that had me raising my eye in an "I hope this is comedic license by the author" way, and a workplace creep who is very quickly and properly dealt with, but it's mostly light laughs and heartwarming family life snippets. And on the second read-through, I came to the conclusion that one volume was sufficient, and that it no longer met what I was looking for in my language goals.

The final chapter warrants a note for potentially traumatic content: the pregnancy of the twins is high-risk, and Haru ends up in the hospital fighting for all three of their lives. The reader knows ahead of time that it ends well, but it's still a gut punch, especially if you've been through a similar scenario.
