A Second Helping of Everyday Happiness
This volume picks up the story of Wakui Megumi and Kunieda Chitose, a couple whose dynamic is built around a classic doujin BL pairing: the calmer, more “dad-coded” partner paired with a younger man who clearly can’t get enough of him. If you enjoyed the first volume’s easygoing tone, this installment looks to continue in that same spirit rather than reinvent it, letting the two leads settle further into their relationship.
What stands out from the tag list is how squarely this sits in feel-good romantic comedy territory rather than heavy melodrama. The 執着攻め (possessive/devoted pursuer) framing for Chitose suggests he’s the type who wears his affection openly, while Megumi’s オヤジ受け characterization points to a partner defined more by quiet dependability than flashiness. The age gap between them isn’t played as a source of conflict so much as a natural part of who they are as a couple, which fits the “ordinary happiness” promised right in the title.
Who Will Enjoy This Volume
This is a good pick for readers who gravitate toward age-gap BL where the emotional stakes are low but the affection is high — think comfort reading rather than angst. The black-haired character design noted in the tags suggests a fairly grounded, understated art style rather than anything flashy, which lines up with the domestic, slice-of-life feel implied by the series title.
Since this is billed as a continuation, readers who haven’t picked up the first volume may want to start there to get the full context on how Megumi and Chitose came together. That said, the romantic comedy tag suggests the tone stays light enough that jumping in here wouldn’t feel like missing an essential emotional beat, even if some of the earlier relationship history won’t be immediately clear.
A Steady, Comforting Continuation
What this volume seems to promise, based on its billing, is more time with a couple whose appeal lies in their contrast — one steady and reserved, one openly smitten — and in the comfortable rhythm of a relationship that’s already found its footing. For readers who like their BL sweet, low-stakes, and centered on a couple already settled into each other’s lives, this circle’s ongoing series looks like a comfortable follow-up rather than a dramatic reinvention. It’s the kind of release suited to fans who want to check in on a couple they already like rather than be thrown into a brand-new story.
