| When I saw the anime I was filled with such happiness. The only thought running in my head was, " Oh damn! I need to know what happens next!" Started reading and binged the manga just like the anime. I read all 62 chapters and this was so disappointing. This second half ruined everything that chapters 1 - 25 created. There was so much potential material to go with and then to pull this shit at the end. I'm just disgusted by how the author ruined their own story. I would have been so much happier with it ending with the first 25 chapters like originally planning that letting it grow into this catastrophe. |
| Disappointment! Too much imagination, to destroy a great story, in a final book, which looks more like a childhood dream, but pure drama. Real life is not that, and that was the real disappointment. Like if I had appeared dragons, unicorns and dwarves I would have liked more, but I think "love" father has not been able to reflect the end, and has chosen a fanciful melodrama. Finally, 2/10. -- ¡Decepción! Demasiado imaginación, para destrozar una historia genial, en un libro final, que parece más un sueño infantil, que un drama puro. La vida real no es así, y eso ha sido la verdadera decepción. Igual si hubiera aparecido dragones, unicornios y enanos me hubiera gustado más, pero creo que "el amor de padre" no se ha sabido reflejar al final, y se ha optado por un melodrama fantasioso. En fin, 2/10. |
| I was really hoping for Daikichi and Kouki's mom to get together and didn't even imagine him and Rin ending up together because... hell, he raised her like his own daughter? I'm so very confused as to how he could ever see her as anything but that. Not to mention the age difference, even if they did a decent job of at least making Rin behave more mature than her peers. Still.. I'm surprised by the ending and that element is the only positive thing I have to say about it. It wasn't a suprise that got me giddy however. Argh, frustrating! I was hoping for a happy, slow relationship with Daikichi and someone of his own age and got served this instead. Meh. |
| Worst ending ever which ruined the whole story, fuck you Mangaka! Seems like he was a horny lolicon and this is his shitty fantasy. Can't believe some actually like it but lolicons are disgusting anyway. Shit like this can only happen in japanese anime/manga. At times just a really weird & creepy culture. /rant |

| The ending of Usagi Drop can be seen as a mental exercise to see whether or not you can objectively look at a viewpoint outside your own cultural bubble. Besides what right does anyone have to cast judgment on the decision made by two consenting adults? Mind you adults that aren't even blood related (which was tenuous at best) and aren't exactly breaking any laws (that I know of anyway). Any gut reaction as to why this is "wrong" should immediately be followed with some introspection as to why you believe this is wrong. Do you actually have objective reasons or just preconceived notions indoctrinated by your culture/society? Granted what is "wrong" is rather subjective, but one can usually list objective reasons if the objection holds merit. Rather than simply dismissing the ending as something that doesn't fit your cultural/societal values, use it as an opportunity to examine why you find it so offensive. The mangaka (a woman if that even means anything) did a great job of making this ending as kosher as possible. They aren't blood related, the relationship started when they were both adults, and everything was initiated by Rin with Daikichi rather vehemently opposed to the idea. I believe that the only argument that holds merit is their father/daughter relationship. The problem with this is that Rin never saw Daikichi as her father if her calling him by his given name is any indication. Perhaps that is something insignificant based on your culture/society, but I do believe the Japanese hold great value in how they refer to others given the existence of honorifics and whatnot. And Rin referring to her father figure by his given name without honorifics should have perhaps been seen as a sign that things aren't as they appear to be. For the record I would have much preferred a Daikichi/Yukari ending, but I have no issue with Daikichi/Rin given how events played out. Poor guy has to make the transition from daughter figure (she was never officially adopted if I recall correctly) to potential mate and I don't envy him that task. Heh didn't plan on actually writing this much, but I did enjoy both the anime and manga so I hope those with raging morality boners do take the time to sit down and have a date with introspection. |
| The beautiful work of art anime should stand by itself. Manga should be hidden away somewhere, where it can do no harm to the viewers who enjoyed the first half of the story so much. I can't recall too many times I've seen something of this caliber tank this badly. I mean what a trainwreck! |

| I'm in the extreme minority that liked the whole thing, guess i read too much hentai, i wasn't bothered at all by their relationship turning like that. |
| Well, the ending was a massive disappointment. The non-blood related excuse was not hinted at all, despite of the "hints" that Daikichi saw, and also even if we erase the incest part, am I supposed to believe Daikichi is in love with Rin? He said that he still thinks of Rin as a daughter, why is he now even considering marrying her? The mangaka could've at least ended this with a sign of affection from him if them being a couple is what she wanted. Daikichi went from cool single dad to some lazy adult after the first time skip. Yukari... I don't even understand her train of thought, did the author want to get rid of her? Kouki was annoying but w/e. As a slice of life, it crumbles after the time skip and as an incest series, it isn't even one "technically". |
