Title: Reiko Monogatari/The Legend of Reiko (麗子物語)
By: Kunie Sakai(坂井久仁江) for non-BL titles/Saika Kunieda(国枝彩香) for her BL titles
Summary:
Reiko is a 5 years old little girl who has the most spectacular face (opinions may vary from a what-is-that to wait-is-that-even-human to how-disgustingly-adorable) and old people taste with a dash of lace and frills. She hates cream, she is scared of snails, and old people adore her.
And this is a little documentary of her daily adventures with her mom and dad, both of whom are rather beautiful people might I add.
(Yes, bb!Reiko is that wrinkled... thing in her arms. ;D)
Commentary:
Just so you know, I am almost nearly as surprised as you that BL isn't the only genre I read. XDDD
That aside, Reiko is a lovely manga to read! It has the right mix of funny and warmth that family-oriented mangas bring. The character, Reiko brings a great entertainment factor to the book. Not only because of her face, though it is largely because she is adorably ugly in my eyes, she has the loveliest personality despite the slight Sadako-tendencies at times.
Everything is completely my taste!
And I have been told that I resemble Reiko here when I was her age (what Asian girl did not get a hair cut like that when they were small??)... and now too... maybe it's the smile? OTL
From top going clockwise: sad!Reiko, joyous!Reiko, happy!Reiko, and angry!Reiko. V

Oh, thanks for this little review, I am a fan of Kunieda Saika and i'm starting to read her seinen/slice of life works. I was curious about this title and I now I really wish I could read it ! :)
NP! I never thought someone would find this review to be helpful at all XD This title is great, I started off dubious but by the third page or so, I was completely sold on the book :D
