* AFriendInNeed: When Shiharu is targeted for bullying, she tries to distance herself from Rio to prevent her friend from being harassed too. Rio is having none of that, and confronts the girl instigating it head-on.

* NoAntagonist: Other than the girl who bullies Rio and Shiharu for a couple chapters, there's no primary antagonist. The closest approximation is Aoi and Akane's grandparents, who plan to take over raising them. Shiharu and Seiji aren't happy (both at losing care of the twins and the excuse to be near each other,) but the grandparents are portrayed as excellent caregivers with very valid reasons for wanting to take them in.

-->The place where I feel happy for a moment might not be where I belong, but even if it's not forever, this is my one precious place.
-->-- Shiharu Nakamura

'''''Love So Life''''' is the story of Shiharu Nakamura, a first year high school student who, one day, is hired to work as a nanny for two adorable twins left in the care of their uncle, Seiji Matsunaga. The story follows the daily lives of the makeshift family as errands are run, memories are made, and relationships are kindled in a romantic slice-of-life. Be warned, cuteness saturation reaches critical levels in every chapter from the twins and the adult cast in equal measure.

The manga has been running since 2008 and, as of writing, sits at 78 chapters published.
