愛してるぜ ベイベ★★ [Aishiteruze Beibe★★ / Aishiteruze Baby]

Yuu Kanzaki’s Aishiteruze Baby★★, serialized in Shueisha’s Ribon from 2002 to 2005, is a tender shōjo manga that explores the unexpected responsibilities of family. When carefree high schooler Kippei is tasked with caring for his five-year-old cousin Yuzuyu after her mother abandons her, the series gently unfolds a story of growth, patience, and the quiet bonds that form between a reluctant guardian and a lost child. Known for its warm, slice-of-life approach to a heavy premise, it remains a beloved touchstone for readers who appreciate emotional depth in everyday moments.
