So I'm really in the mood to read an adorable, maybe semi-serious manga about a father & child relationship like Usagi Drop, but I really hate the art and character designs of that manga, it just isn't enjoyable for me (not trying to insult the artist's talent).

Are there any "better looking" mangas? Or does the character development eventually outshine the artwork? I looked into some of the recommendations, but I'd like to see more opinions.

Thanks!

More or less the same thing as Usagi Drop, Yumeka Sumomo's art has always been soft and beautiful.

Seconding "My Girl"

flat isn't about a father and a child, but rather a child taking a liking to an irresponsible teenager. This may sound un-interesting or not to your taste but, it really is worth the read. Very slice of life-ish and a light, easy read.

Yotsuba&!, maybe, not sure if you'd consider the artwork to be better or not and its definitely not serious

Seconding Yotsuba&!

It's not serious/artwork is simple, but damn is it heartwarming.

Thanks everyone, I've started reading My Girl and like it so far. Yotsuba&! looks cute too, I'll check that out. :)

Flat, even though it's not exactly parent-and-child. Still freakin' adorable.

Alright, so I kind of gave up on Yotsuba&! because it just seems like random adventures of a little girl who has weird proportions, which I'm not interested in.
