Taiyo encounters a challenge, Taiyo faces said challenge head-on and gets severely injured but succeeds, wash, rinse, repeat. There is literally no variety beyond who Taiyo is facing up against in this particular chapter.
For this being about "The Yozakura Family" it's shocking how much of a cardboard cutout each of the family members are. They have one personality trait and that's all they ever do. This is especially bad in the case of Mutsumi, whose personality trait is "Taiyo's wife". The most we've ever seen her actually do is cook for Taiyo or tend his wounds. She has no independence and gets even less page time than the other siblings despite ostensibly being the female lead. Despite that, every other character is utterly obsessed with her. Big brother? Classmates? Assassins? Head of the secret police? They're all down bad for her completely independently of her role in the family. We literally had three back to back chapters of different characters being in love with her and trying to kill Taiyo because of it.
I really like the characters conceptually. They've got great concepts and in any other series would shine. If only the author didn't sideline them to rehash one not that interesting idea over and over.
Taiyou and mutsumi are such an adorable couple! The eldest brother is really annoying but he does grow on you. In terms of action/fantasy, there's a lot of power imbalance, but I guess it'll be explained in the future.
