Immediately after I finished reading it for the first time, I wanted to start all over again. I absolutely love this 4koma! A shoulder above the rest in terms of quality, humor, and character as the seemingly mundane day-to-day is made intriguing, entirely facilitated by the character writing. The star is the titled "Gorilla", who comes to terms with his relationship with his brother as a grounding force in his life. This is co-opted by his arc of maturing, and the relationship he develops with his niece. The two have a dynamic similar to bickering siblings, but eventually (even if she doesn't want to admitit) she most definitely cares about this "Mr. Gorilla."

He heals from their presence by becoming dependable and finding clarity in his life. They heal from his presence as he is able to fill the void left by his brother's grief and reinvigorate his brother's love of his daughter.

The sincerity of the characters adds greatly to the appeal. I would recommend this for anyone who appreciates slice of life, it is a MUST READ
