Recommendations: Children/Families
 

Provide your recommendations for anime, manga, light novels, web novels, visual novels, games, and other media within the genre: Children/Families!

These should be works that you've experienced personally and would like to recommend to others. No "troll" recommendations, or non-recommendations in this thread. For longer series, you don't necessarily need to wait until the whole work is finished before recommending it, but please at least wait until you've at least experienced enough of it to make a good judgement.

Please don't just post a list! You don't need to do a full review, but for each title you suggest, please also consider providing:

• The full title
• The author, studio, or other information that will help identify the work
• A brief explanation of the setting and premise (no spoilers!)
• A brief summary of why you like it and/or why you think others might like it
• How much of it you've experienced (particularly for longer series)
• Other works that it reminds you of, if applicable
• A link to a review you wrote on our site, if applicable
• Any other information that might help someone know if they should give it a shot

You may optionally post a few images if it helps, but please use thumbnails, and/or place it inside an [images] tag. Most third-party image hosting sites will provide a feature to copy/paste BBCode that uses thumbnails.

Please DO NOT post links on where to illegally download/stream/view the work you're recommending.


Again, for the purposes of this thread, please avoid all spoilers or hints that may ruin surprises in the plot, and absolutely no flaming another person's recommendations. If you see any problematic post, please report it so the moderators can review and take any needed action.

Seeing this thread title made me think まままま (Mama Mama) by Amano Shuninta (天野しゅにんた) needs a mention on this forum too. Bundled in her "Bombshells" collection it is a very short but poignant one-shot manga. I think it fits but for the sake of avoiding spoilers I'll let the thought provoking work speak for itself.

"My Brother's Husband" by Gengoroh Tagame. Linking two threads for this. One dedicated - for the Manga, which has been translated into several languages. One more general - for Live Action announcements - containing information for an upcoming TV mini series - NHK Premium Drama adaptation of that manga.

Also just tagged the "Yotsubato (Yotsuba&)" thread with family and children tags so that manga series too will show with those criteria - but that one too may need a little more expanding here at some point.
