Rakkyo, the middle child of three siblings, has always seemed a bit strange since he was little. Then, one day, he suddenly confesses that he’s a foreign child! Could his mysterious behavior, such as screaming in the middle of the night, reading books upside down, and being unable to hear what people are saying, be because he’s a foreign child? While enrolled in a regular elementary school, Rakkyo attends a special needs class at the school once a week and uses an after-school day care center three days a week. This comic essay is packed with parenting-related issues and perfectly supports the mental health of parents. [Serialized Version] Volume 12 features Rakkyo-san’s mother, Mayumi, offering sharp comments on his mysterious behavior! There’s also plenty of stories about the youngest child, Kujira-san, starting elementary school. Enjoy this unique parenting manga that will make you chuckle and sometimes cry. ・・・・・・・・・・・・ ★ Now available on LINE Manga for free!

I hated children, but at 36 I rushed into having one. They were so adorable, I ended up having two more right after that, and I had zero planning skills. I’m terrible at tidying up and doing laundry. I love cooking and turtles. My nickname is “camera girl.” On Instagram, I draw comics that feature my family equally. ▶Instagram：kamekonomanga ▶X (old Twitter): @9ta9ta_jp [Product Overview]
