So far they went throught 5 chapters in 4 episodes. If they keep with this rate there is more than enough chapters for another season or two.


Maybe it's not planned at this point in time. As we've seen if the series is popular enough they will decide upon a second season. So I wouldn't have this lack of information be the end all to this series.


That would be the biggest cop-out for this series. Some may consider the last half boring, but I find it par for a slice-of-life. We get to see how everyone thinks and interact with each other, even if its 10 years later.

I'm not going to hold my breath, but I hope for second season (maybe 12-13, or even 24 episodes) that will do the second half. It would a good thing to do. And for those who thought the ending came out of left field, there were hints about Rin's feelings towards Daikichi as far back as chapter 4 of the manga. It was foreshadowed.

I honestly don't see how chapter 4 was foreshadowing of how Rin felt towards Daikichi. Worrying about him dying before her is something she was worried about because of grandpa dying.

The biggest thing I can read into her feelings towards him were the times when she acted like she was his mother/wife taking care of him and when she absolutely insists on Daikichi remaining as Daikichi and not being her father (doubly taken as her insisting on the one she saw as her father staying that way but can work as foreshadowing). The thing about them not being related wasn't too far out of left field for me. I didn't remember anything the grandpa left saying he was ever with Rin's mother that way and the way he spoke about her seemed more like "a scared young girl afraid of what to do because she's pregnant".

It's more like Wife Husbandry trope where it just takes into effect than we really seeing Rin tell herself (or anyone else) that she thought of it ending this way until the chapters it comes to a forefront.

I pray they avoid the timeskip. From what I've seen so far, the anime is good. I loved the first part of the UD manga, but I think the second part was just a bad move on the author's part. It isn't actually incest, considering that they aren't actually related by blood (but I guess by marriage...but I don't even think Rin's mom and Daikichi's grandpa got married).

As for them not being related, I have no problem with that. Their relationship can still be parental, even if they aren't actually related.

So yes, I pray they at least end the anime pre-time skip and maybe add the part of how Rin and Daikichi aren't related if they so please.

Even if it wasn't incest it is a 40 year old father figure person actually seriously considering romance with a 16 yo and not shutting it down the very moment it gets mentioned. Considering the rating its got here I'm really worried they are going to go ahead and make a second season with the time skip which is going to suck no matter how they change the storyline.

Rin handling her meeting her mother and the baby is the only decently handled thing in the second part.

Can't believe 13 people want them to animate the ending. Wow. Ew.

I voted to animate the second half but change the ending, since I want a DaikichixYukari ending D: /nevergonnahappen

I haven't read the manga, but I knew about the spoiler. Didn't know they weren't actually related, but knowing that just makes me more angry-it's a total cop-out AND it doesn't justify anything, there's still a disgustingly massive age gap and anyway, he's raised her like a father, so it might as well incest even if they're not blood related.

Anyone else get the feeling the mangaka was pressured into ending it like that...? It clearly wasn't planned, Daikichi and Rin act like nothing but father and daughter and at this point in the anime it SEEMS like they're leaning towards DaikichixYukari since she seems to like him back and with him becoming more like a father figure to Kouki as well...to suddenly just change all that...seems suspicious to me. :/

Plus I don't want to believe that someone who could write a story as wonderful as Usagi Drop would ever write something like that willingly.

Well, unless it gets a second series, it's not going to animate that far, no matter how it ends. Thank god.

I kind of already knew about Rin's real father since episode 5 of the anime (without even reading the manga). It was very predictable. As is most of the japanese mangas.

THEY GET TOGETHER AT THE END

Oh don't animate the time skip.
That would be the worse buzzkill in anime this year.

I personally feel the most likely path is that they'll have a little bit of tension near the end which is soon resolved, and there'll be a short section after the credits showing the timeskip. I personally have no qualms with the manga ending, and would actually prefer the anime to be true to the manga (tired of animes that completely cut short the manga stories). I don't like having two different stories when I compare anime and manga.

Realistically, though, they'll probably just end with a few scenes from the timeskip with little if any hints towards a relationship between Rin and Daikichi.

Oh, by the way, they're not related by blood. If you're against the relationship because of the age difference, just think about Jane Eyre ;)

I voted end before the time skip.
I haven't read the manga, but I have read spoilers.
I often read spoilers because I find it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the story.
THIS is the exception. Totally affected my enjoyment. I still watch because it's a super cute story so far (I've watched through episode 9 at the time of this post). But I have to try to forget....

So yes. I do not like the manga ending. I know it's not incest. It's not even the age difference. As others have mentioned, it's the fact that he has been the father figure. Daikichi has acted like a father. Thought of Rin like a daughter. They do father/daughter things. He is raising her as he would his own child. The manga ending just gives me this squicky feeling. Ick.

Maybe it's worse because I'm a parent. Before I read the spoilers, when my husband and I would watch the anime together, we would think about how we could relate to Daikichi in certain situations. Not anymore....

I think it just ruins the parenting/family thing. You can say that the theme is "love," but to me, up til now, it has been a far more specific kind of love...one that does not have room for romantic love.

I hope they do some botched one episode ending coming post time skip and based off the manga, just cause it'll be funny to see the reactions of all the people who either read the manga and did the typical whining about how it went after the time skip and ended OR didn't read the manga, haven't spoiled themselves yet that there even is a time skip, and never see it coming, having the whole previous ten weeks thrown out the window cause they never thought something like that could happen with sweet little precious Rin and good guy Daikichi.

i really hate the manga ending
if the ever animated the time skip part, i dont think i will watch them
it just sweet when rin actually have feelings for kouki and suddenly the feelings gone just like that???
about the blood related thing you can guess that from the start
when daikichi said to give him 2 years to think about that give some hope that after that 2 years daikichi would say to rin "i really thought you only as a daughter, not more than that" or anything like that........
after i finish the manga i was thinking why did i ever read this manga!!!
only first part were good
plz dont animate 2nd part....

I couldn't help but scream "It's just too perfect!" every time Daikichi, Rin, Kouki and his mom were in a scene together. I have no problem whatsoever with the Manga ending, I just don't understand why the author didn't go with the obvious ending. In this case it was, as I said, just too perfect.

It wasn't incest because they aren't related by blood. I think they mentioned in the manga that Daikichi knew waaay back when he read the will that Gramps ADOPTED her therefore, not related. Also, if you didn't catch that then you are sick enough in the head to believe that a 70 year old dude knocked up a 20 year old girl.

Except it is incest. Family is more than blood, the manga is AWFUL to go in that direction.

Except it isn't incest because they aren't related

They are a family, he's a father figure and she's the daughter (up until kouki spilled the bean), so yes, it is an incestuous relationship, even if it doesnt have the kind of health problem inbreeding would give to offsprings.

socially and psychologically it is still incest.

Incest - Sexual relations between people classed as being too closely related to marry each other.

learn 2 dictionary, they aren't related therefore it isn't incest

You've got a point there. But Daikichi have been taking care of Rin since she was young. It's feels pretty fucked up to have them together despite of me having a fetish for sibling incest.

I'm not saying it isn't weird, because I thought it was really fucked up, but technically it isn't incest. I personally thought he was going to get married to the other kids mom, she got married I knew things were going to take a turn for the weird. Besides at the end of the manga hes like 43 and shes 18, THAT is fucked up.
