It even includes a section showing how to fill out the paperwork. This part doesnt pertain to American readers, but the manga is still worth reading because of its well-told story, its look into the realities of gay couples in Japan, and how the characters are relatable - because even if someone isnt in Yuta and [Kyota]s shoes, the parts about feeling left out would be something everyone can relate to on some level.
