This was, quite possibly, the first manga I ever read from start to finish. When I was finished with it it was easily my favourite manga (at that time it was defaulty my favourite) but still today, after reading just a little bit more manga this is still my favourite.

Story: A womanizing idiot has to take care of his 5 year old cousin. It's a frightening concept at first, but it's done amazingly well. The characters fit in perfectly well and the story proceeds at a very nice pace. There are a few side-stories and a few mini-arcs that are a little read more

Aishiteruze Baby is a Shoujo, Slice of Life, Romance, Drama that deals with the delicate issues surrounded child care and family values.

Just like several other shoujo romance manga, the story is about a cool high school boy (Kippei) who is a bit of a player. However this is until when his is stuck looking after his 5 year old cousin (Yuzuyu) whose mom abandoned her. From here on their relationship grows into something special. Each volume focuses on a different issue to do with lonesomeness and happiness, providing you with a different experience as you progress through the story. There's nothing particularly ground-breaking about the read more

Both of these manga star a single guy who is in charge of taking care of a little girl. While Aishiteruze Baby is aimed towards a younger audience and Usagi Drop, being a josei, is aimed towards an older audience, if you enjoyed one of these stories, chances are good that you'll enjoy the other. The situations that both Kippei and Daikichi go through are oddly similar. Both Yuzuyu and Rin are equally adorable.
Both are incredibly heartwarming stories where the male protagonist has a little girl appear out of seemingly nowhere and he alone is responsible for taking care of her as her new big brother. The stories are told amazingly well where the characters experience many valuable life lessons like love and heartbreak, dysfunctional families and the importance of being together with loved ones, and the significance of responsibilities and keeping promises. Both little girls, Choco and Yuzuyu are blindingly cute, and they will make you want to keep reading right from start to finish.
