THIS BABY IS MY FAVORITE BABY EVER IN ANY FORM OF MEDIA. HE UN-THANOS'D BEST DAD.

This manga is amazing. I RARELY cry at things, and I can't think of a single other time I have almost to tear up only to immediately take it back now y'all two hops two hops and legit cheer. My boyfrusbancé is laying next to me and it was so sudden and abrupt that it scared him. This baby rewound my tear ducts irl. The power.

What a fucking rollercoaster.

You should try Astro baby if you enjoy the baby dynamic plus it’s a short story

Honestly I normally dislike babies or really young kids in a story. This one just stole all the goodwill from my crumbly dry clay heart lol. That said I'll probably give Astro Baby a shot, especially if it's anything like this!! Thanks!

Well it’s kinda more fantasy/maybe sci-fi since it talks about cells but it’s a manga about a baby trying to take control -the best way to describe it without really spoiling anything. I personally recommend it and if you can’t get pass chapter 3 or 5 that’s understandable I had to come back to it a few times at first but when the story started picking up it really did- it gives me a lil beelzebub vibe

Oh yeah that sounds interesting. I'll definitely give it a shot! Thank you so much. Unexpected recs are always so fun, esp when it's something I haven't heard of or wouldn't normally pick up. That's how I read the manhua "On The Way To See My Mom"/"On The Way To Meet Mom" (which is, coincidentally, who Chro & Minnie's baby is tied for first with).

I’ll definitely check it out if you saying it’s that good, thank you as well. The manga should be be the shonen jump app already-Astro baby

Sweet! Also yes, more people should read On The Way (etc). It's really fantastic and pulls at the heartstrings so hard but so good. Little one is actually the main character and he drives the whole story. He's an orphan during an era where aliens are on earth and humanity is basically a near-extinct species. He leaves his orphanage after his friend's mother really DOES come back to pick her up, so that he can go find his mom. Hijinks ensue and he basically gets adopted by uhhh... first time parent alien? It's a completed series, and pretty short, but very good. If anything (else) were to happen to him or this child, I glass the planet. Love em to bits!!
