"ママは僕よりカッコいい…しかもそっちのママじゃない" (Mama Wa Boku Yori Kakkoi… Shikamo Sotchi No Mama Janai), also shortened to "Mamashika" by fans, is a seinen manga about Scout, the child of a mafia boss (Whitney) and a school teacher (Joanne).
After a string of mysterious circumstances leads to Joanne's death, Scout sets off to the coastal town of Himeji (Hyogo, Japan) to track down her mother's final love-- and Scout's second mother until the age of 3 when she abandoned them-- Whitney. After decades separated from each other, the two of them reunite with the intent to track down Joanne's murderer. Along the way, the two are constantly at odds with each other. Scout is frustrated at Whitney for leaving her and her mother alone in their home country, and Whitney doesn't like that Scout is going as far as she is to insert herself into the investigation surrounding Joanne's death. In their constant aggression, they confront some uncomfortable truths about each other and their trauma, and as the story unfolds they learn things about Joanne that changes the way they see her forever.
Manga publication date: 2009 - 2014 (COMPLETED)
