YMMV / Akkan Baby

• Alternate Aesop Interpretation:
  • Proper sex education is important for teens. Given the comedic nature of Yuki and Shigeru having unprotected sex in the first volume and their road to parenthood being relatively light-hearted, it's likely that the manga did not mean to make this a major point. Nevertheless, the entire premise of the manga could have been avoided and everyone's reaction to Yuki and Shigeru's complete ignorance on how condoms work is pretty telling.
  • Make sure you know what your children are doing and who they're hanging out with. When Yuki meets Shigeru's parents for the first time, they're shocked to find out he's actually a boy despite his name. Once the real reason comes out for why he's visiting, Shigeru's mother admits that she deserves some blame for Shigeru's pregnancy — if she had bothered to ask her daughter more about her friend she'd probably be less open to Shigeru spending the night at Yuki's place so frequently.
• Moe: Puni is just adorable. Later on, we also get Muni.
• Strawman Has a Point:
  • Even though she had a change of heart and came back, Yuki not wanting to give Puni back to Mika is understandable, as he (and Shigeru) have grown attached to him and abandoning your child doesn't sit well with a lot of people, even if you are young and afraid. Another point to add is that leaving your baby on some randos' doorstep is a pretty dangerous move, so, thankfully, at least, Mika left Puni on Yuki and Shigeru's doorstep because that could have gone sideways in the worst of ways, so some of Yuki's protectiveness is more understable.
  • Shigeru's dad Norio is definitely meant to be antagonistic at first, and he's overall somewhat irritating due to spending most of his first appearance in the manga literally running away from discussing his daughter's pregnancy. He's not all that more endearing when he comes back home, either. Even so, his breakdown is understandable. He was prepared to meet what he thought was his cute daughter's female friend for the first time, only to find out not only was "she" a he, but also that his teenage daughter was frequently staying over a boy's house without parental supervision. Shigeru making the decision to reveal the fact that she's pregnant during the very first time he's met said boyfriend couldn't have worked out any worse. Even the most open-minded of parents would probably handle that poorly.
• Tear Jerker: If one thinks about it, Mika and Puni's backstory, but even more when she's holding him, apologizing for abandoning him and promising to never leave him again.
  Mika: "I'm sorry, Shigeru, I'll never let you go again..."
