Delinquent Daddy and Tender Teacher

A gentle, queer slice-of-life manga from Seven Seas Entertainment, Delinquent Daddy and Tender Teacher (2023–2025) follows the unlikely domestic arrangement between a former delinquent turned single father and his young son’s patient, kind-hearted teacher. Spanning six issues, the series is most closely associated with artist Tama Mizuki, whose warm, expressive style brings out the tender humor and emotional growth in this found-family story. It matters for its nuanced, low-drama portrayal of reformed bad-boy tropes and the quiet, everyday challenges of parenting and romance.
