Watashi no Shounen (Hitomi Takano) Manhua

Title: My Boy Satoko Tawada, a woman on the cusp of her thirties, navigated the monotony of her daily routine with a heavy heart, yearning for a spark to ignite her mundane existence. One serendipitous day, her path collided with a solitary figure at the park - Mashuu Hayami, a twelve-year-old boy pouring his soul into the rhythm of a soccer ball. Drawn to Mashuu's unwavering determination and raw talent, Satoko found herself pulled into his world, offering guidance and support where she could. What began as a simple gesture soon unfurled into a profound bond as they spent each day chasing dreams and conquering fears side by side. However, beneath Mashuu's facade of resilience lay a tapestry of hidden scars - a story of longing and neglect that tugged at Satoko's heartstrings. As their shared moments deepened, Satoko felt a maternal instinct awaken within her, a fierce protectiveness blooming for the boy who had become her unexpected light in the shadows. When echoes of Satoko's past threatened to shatter her newfound sanctuary, it was Mashuu's unwavering loyalty that anchored her, his innocent gaze a beacon of hope in the tumultuous sea of her emotions. Together, they weathered storms of doubt and fear, weaving a tapestry of trust and reliance that transcended the boundaries of age and convention. In the quiet whispers of night, Satoko grappled with emotions she dared not name - a love that defied reason and societal expectations, a bond that bridged the chasm between their disparate worlds. Through tears shed and laughter shared, they unearthed buried truths and tender vulnerabilities, finding solace in each other's arms and the promise of a tomorrow painted with hues of love and acceptance.
