Would You Like To Be A Family? by Koyama is a collection of three very different relationships in this intimate collection of short Boys Love stories in manga graphic novel format. 
Families come in many shapes and sizes, and these three are no different! Takemura is a loner with little interest in socializing with others. Bullied in high school for being gay, he prefers to spend time by himself so he won't get hurt again. When he runs into his bright, friendly coworker Natsui in the supermarket, he's surprised to find out that he's a single father... and even more surprised to be invited to dinner, with no room to decline! Kuma is a good guy, but due to his constant scowl and rough appearance is often dismissed as a deadbeat. When he oversees his friend's older brother break up with his boyfriend, Yagi, Kuma becomes intrigued with this attractive stranger and slowly, his curiosity begins to blossom into a crush. Kodama is a reserved psychology major who is approached by the loud, outgoing Harada when he falls ill on his way home. It turns out the two of them study at the same university, and Harada insists the two become friends. But as they spend more time with one another, Kodama begins to question how he truly feels.
Would You Like To Be A Family? is a graphic novel about love and family that is heartfelt and well written. I thought the artwork was well done and did a great job of capturing the emotion and mood of each character and scene. I will say that because of the fact that the manga was one larger love story with two related tales, I did have some trouble connecting with the characters and getting fully invested in the story. However, I think there more positives than negatives here. The stories are told well in the short format, I just prefer a little more depth to even insta love stories. That being said, I think there are many readers that will really enjoy this read.
