The Nanman is a romance set against the modern trend of stay-at-home dads who are losing their families. The news has recently reported this paradox: women are increasingly interested in their own professional development, while men are enjoying the acceptability of staying home and raising children. Yet many of these women still desire a man who can “take care of them,†and are becoming disenchanted with their stay-at-home husbands, often leaving and taking the children with them. The Nanman shows one man's rejection of that fate.
