Paperback – November 18, 2025
By Mayo Tsurukame
Part of: Dysfunctional Family Theory

Mayo Tsurukame delivers a heartfelt, chaotic, and irresistibly tender BL manga about found family, unexpected fatherhood, and two men forced into a situation neither of them could have predicted. In this paperback first volume, the messy road to love begins with an even messier will—and a child who must choose her own father.

When Sentaro goes to pay respects to the family of his late ex-girlfriend, Ririko, he expects a somber visit, not a life-changing revelation. But Ririko’s will names him as a potential father to her young daughter, Meguru. The twist? Another man has been named as well—Touma, a sharp-tongued figure from Sentaro and Ririko’s complicated past.

And according to Ririko’s last wishes, there will be no DNA test.
Instead, Meguru will live with both men until she decides for herself who she wants to call “Dad.”

Suddenly thrust into cohabitation, Sentaro and Touma must navigate childcare, household chaos, old wounds, and unresolved feelings—all while trying to be the best possible version of “Dad” for Meguru. As tensions rise and unexpected moments of tenderness break through, their strange living arrangement evolves into something far more intimate.

But building a family is never simple. With emotions heating up and boundaries blurring, the biggest question emerges: will their growing bond help them become a family… or complicate things beyond repair?

Warm, funny, and full of heart, Dysfunctional Family Theory Vol. 1 is perfect for fans of domestic BL, slow-burn romance, and stories where love grows in the weirdest, most unexpected ways. Available through Queerazon.com, your go-to source for LGBTQ+ manga and BL stories.
