Hybrid Child

Hybrid Child (2014)

My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars


This is originally by the same author as Junjou Romantica, and it does show in the art style, especially if you look at the original manga for both series. The first 2 episodes focus on different Hybrids and their owners. The last 2 episodes are basically about how the Hybrid Child was created and the first one was made literally in the image of the creator's lost friend. It ties in the other families as well with the back story if you recognize the characters, but it doesn't give much in the way of how the Hybrids continue to grow with their families. With how many were in the house in the first episode, might think there were a lot more out there somewhere. But if the prototype stays with Kuroda, and the first model is with Kotaro, would that imply that the second model is Yuzu with Seya to round out the family trio? It does also question that if the families are supposed to be the same 3, does that mean Kotaro is somehow related to Tsukishima, or is his legacy solely in the completion of the Hybrid Children and Kotaro just happened to be stubborn and entitled enough to keep Hazuki when he finds him?
