| WTF? I cant believe it ended that way. I loved the manga up to the last 2-3 chapters, i think it was solid even after the time skip. I didnt have a problem with Rin having those feeling for Dai, it made sense and he was reacting quite well and realisticly to the problem but that he ends up seeing her as more than a daughter is just so weird to me. The last couple chapters made me drop 2 ponts for the manga and ended up giving it 8/10, I would consider it a 6 or a 5 if it wasnt because of the great first half. |

| I loved everything about this, The beginning, middle,and end. My only problem with it is that it ended I wanted to see more. I've seen enough anime that this so called shocking end was really anything but to me. Yes is did feel a little rush but overall it was a great story for me. Complain about the author but as long as she stayed true to what she wanted I stand by how she ended it. I just hope the extra volume has more of what comes next not just some random story of the past but of their future. |

| Only bad thing I saw was that it felt really rushed... I wanted stuff that happened to the other characters, or maybe even talk about the real father between the real mom and her new husband... other than that it was adequate... a nice ending with a nod to the beginning |
Goosey said: I feel dirty after reading that ending. Totally unnecessary second half. Well this is your opinion, in Japan this manga was a big hit. If they made a second season they surely do not deviate from the manga to please a minority of non-factors americans/foreigners bigots. nanaki254 said: Only bad thing I saw was that it felt really rushed...

The mangaka should made more chapters and spin-offs to show what happen in the future. :) |

| no me gusta ending. Did not like at all!!!!!! It's supposed to be a father/daughter relationship but now it's just weird... and pedophillic... I like the anime much better! |
  |
| I am not complaining about the ending... though I REALLY wanted Daikichi with Kouki's mom anyway, I felt the 2nd half of the series was draggy and boring for my taste... I meant my heart was melting in warmness by the 1st half then It became a shoujo manga...ughh >>me is actually skipping everything from chap 34 - 55 so I could see the ending ahahahaha well I wasn't that disappointed... and the author wanted it to be that way, then I guess I'll give it a 7/10 now |
| heh, i was still at around chapter 35 or something and knew something like this was coming so i decided to skip directly at the end... boy, am i glad i made that decision,. i just saved a few hours of my time... that was a real weird and awkward ending =| i wouldn't even bother adding the manga to my list, the anime covered the good parts anyway and that's enough for me ;p |

| It was an interesting ending. I'll say that much. 8/10 |
| It wasn't that bad, it was weird end but interesting. |

| Yeah, i respect the author with all my heart but this is not i was waiting. First half was definitely great and second half was ok but ending was just not pleasant to see. "I want to bear daikichi's child." Just think about when you first started this series, anime or manga, you wouldnt accept or think about this ending right? I can understand she may develope some feelings for him but he accepted her feelings so easily. I wish i didnt read the ending arc. |

| I haven't read this manga. I watched the anime and I was utterly enchanted. Knowing this was a peaceful manga where really nothing completely dramatic would happen, I decided to read the synopsis of the story. WHAT THE.. I loved this anime so much. I found it so beautiful and pure and so focused on a father-daughter relationship, so wonderful. And then this happens. Okay, I accept that Rin could develop feelings for Daikichi. There was really no other "mature" man in her life and seeing him she probably felt admiration. Thus, she could develop feelings of "love". Hormonal "love". She's a teenager and things like this happen, but for Daikichi to reciprocate her love?! WHY. That is what I ask. He was her father from ages 6-18. Seeing their bond I cried almost every episode. Now I'm so glum, why would Daikichi want to even think about marrying the girl he parented? It's so perverted and gross; the first half was amazing and pure. I'm just so angry to see this ending happen. I wanted Rin to find someone else to love, not Kouki or Daikichi. Kouki, IMO, was more of a brother to Rin. They were best friends, not lovers! UGH. This beautiful series was utterly destroyed. Daikichi and Rin, a loving parent and daughter duo. They loved each other SO much. They were amazingly close. But not like this. DAIKICHI HAS TO WALK RIN DOWN THE AISLE, NOT BE THE GROOM. It's absolutely positively gross. SO, some people are all "Who cares, they actually aren't related." And I'm like. OH REALLY. Didn't Daikichi become Rin's father? Didn't he act like her father? Didn't he bring her up lovingly? Who cares if they're not related, they became related. How could he do that to Rin. She was going through a phase in her life. Daikichi is supposed to kindly reject her until she can find her own love. This series turned into a stupid, perverted, unrealistic high school drama. I loved this so much because it was the most realistic anime I've ever seen. I loved how it reflected the slice-of-life genre perfectly. Now it's as bad as a yuri or a yaoi (Not to put them down. They can certainly be alright sometimes [When they're a side element, like No. 6] but when it's so perverted and it's sappy and it's so messed up it's just horrible.). One of the best series of the world turned sour. A pure, wonderful story turned perverted. Why, is what I ask. I wanted to see Daikichi walk Rin down the aisle. I wanted to see Daikichi see Rin graduate happily. I wanted to see Rin at Daikichi's grave, weeping but remembering him and smiling. I wanted to see Rin snuggling up to Daikichi. Don't you remember when Daikichi said he would hold Rin however old she was? I was thinking, "Haha, it'll be so funny to see a 25-year-old Rin curled up in Daikichi's lap." Marriage was not what I was thinking. Eww. This manga failed. It failed. It constructed an amazing story, and then it failed. I'm more disappointed than any other anime or manga EVER. Period. I will not read this manga. The story ended for me after the anime. I will think up my own beautiful ending, not this crap. THIS IS LIKE A PERVERTED FAN-FICTION. I think I got my point out. Now I will go and concoct my own ending for this wonderful ANIME. Completely forgetting the manga :) |

| Read through the whole thing today after watching and loving the anime. Sadly, I find myself extremely disappointed. m4rc0's post is excellent and hits it on the head. Basically everything post-time skip is shit. It skipped all the good parts that I felt the series was about; Daikichi growing with Rin and learning how to be a dad, and so on. What about when she starts getting her period? What about when she gets more beautiful, starts to wear make-up, starts wearing a bra and so on? Adding to that, the author totally killed Daikichis character. NOTHING fucking happened to him in 10 years? What the hell, man. It feels like the author just threw away everything pre-skip, and went to do another series. None of the characters feel like the characters before the skip, except Daikichi obviously, and I couldn't relate to a single character at all, except for Kouki at times. Also the ending make me feel pretty grossed out. Kind of nauseous after reading it, actually. The second part of the story was horribly written, imo. It's really sad to see a series that started so fantastically, fall so god damned flat. What an enormous waste of potential. |

| Alright. I'm going to throw in what I think about all this now that I've finished reading everything and watching the anime. My verdict on this manga's 2nd half: VERY UNINTERESTINGLY ACCEPTABLE. Let me explain. Before the time skip, everyone likes it because it's purely slice-of-life and the story revolves around Daikichi and Rin, and THEM ONLY. The warmest thing that can come from a slice-of-life material is all the little things and experiences of interpersonal relationships between human beings that all of us can relate to. This is what the manga's first half does best. I have no complaints about the first half, only praises. Besides praises, there're still only praises. However, the second half of the manga took a completely different path down the road. I tell you, I must say I'm quite disappointed, but I'm disappointed not because of the ending, but because of: (1) the time skip itself, and (2) the shift of focus away from Daikichi and Rin. I'll comment on the ending after all this. For (1) the time skip... The time skip literally skips a HELL lot of things that could have been excellent, wonderful content for the manga. As what someone in this forum said, lots of little daily experiences during Rin's entire prepubescent, pubescent, preadolescent, and adolescent years can be shown in the manga, and how Daikichi deals with and lives with Rin through all those times. But no, the author chose to skip all those precious moments. This, itself, is a HUGE wrong choice! And a HUGE disappointment! As for (2) the shift of focus away from the two of them... The second half of the manga contains too many unnecessary plots that do not revolve around Daikichi and Rin. All the relationship problems Rin's friends have, all the arguments between Rin and Kouki, all the too-often-shown issues about exams and results and stuff, all of these things destroy the peaceful slide-of-life atmosphere that we're so attracted to in the first half of the manga. I'm not saying these things shouldn't be included, but they aren't "handled with care" that they are uninteresting in terms of the first half. It's almost like they're CHANGING the genre of the manga!! To continue the peaceful atmosphere from the first half, we don't need any of those things. If they are to be included, make them more positive, and brief. But what do we get? They're cliche and stereotypical, and the story doesn't have to go that way. I know, this is fiction. And even though this is fiction, the case where a little girl suddenly appears in a 30-year-old man's life isn't that impossible in real life. However, in real life, lots of factors are involved, and the development of the first half of the story is pretty much idealized. In real life, if such a thing is to happen (a man adopts a little girl out of nowhere), it would probably go much less smooth and enjoyable as things are portrayed. (Lots of other very real things could have happened, but in the manga, they didn't.) What I'm saying is that... Since the first half of the manga is already pretty idealized, why not make the second half (except the ending) as idealized like the first half too? Kouki doesn't have to be a problematic teenager and doesn't have to force his way onto Rin. Akari doesn't have to be a thug. (In fact, her existence could even be omitted. It's not needed.) Daikichi doesn't have to be so indecisive, and could have been wiser. All the negativity in the second half is exactly what robs the manga of the peaceful, serene, and warm feelings we have in the first half. In the end, the second half becomes uninteresting and not as warm anymore. Cliche and stereotypical. Think about it, how do Aria and Natsume Yuujinchou maintain the feel-good atmosphere even after something bad happens? What's missing here? Alright. Now about the ending. I said that my verdict for this manga's second half is "very uninterestingly acceptable". I've explained why it's "very uninteresting". Now let me explain why it's "acceptable". The ending, for me, is very much acceptable. The main reason for this is that... THERE'S NOTHING WRONG TO BEGIN WITH!! Look, the society says incest is forbidden. This is correct, with a good reason (among others). The reason is that it's going to be crazy for the child, having a father who is also the grandfather, for example. Deformity might also be a problem, among other things. So yes, for PRACTICAL reasons, incest is prohibited. But hey, here Daikichi and Rin aren't related by blood. This solves a LOT of problems. A lot of practical problems are solved, so what's the only thing left? The issue that Daikichi raised Rin. THIS, IS, THE issue that most readers cannot agree with. But I don't get it. There's NO problem with this, as long as it's consensual. And it IS consensual. By it being consensual, it means that even if both of them used to see each other as father and daughter, as long as they are willing to change that perspective, who are we to say they're "WRONG"? With exactly what morals can we SUFFICIENTLY justify that it's wrong?? I raised you, so it's wrong that I get married with you? Is this really as wrong as you make it out to be? If it doesn't feel right, it's probably just you. The issue here is not about Daikichi having raised Rin. The issue here is really just the role each of them think each other has been playing. If both of them get married while thinking that the other person is their father/daughter, then it's MORALLY wrong (though practically it isn't). However, the role of a person can change, so are a person's perceptions. (Unless they were related by blood, which cannot be changed.) Once they've been changed, nothing is wrong anymore. The only inappropriate (but not wrong) thing, though, is that it's bad for their child. Their child would have to lose his/her father pretty early in life. But that's it. Nothing else. THOUGH...... Having said all this, while I'm saying that it's nothing wrong Daikichi and Rin get married, I really don't prefer such an ending. Because it's far-fetched, from real life's point of view. Overall, however, even though I think that the ending is acceptable, I must say I'm disappointed with the second half. It's almost like it has completely turned into another type of manga, and that's a pity. P.S. So since the second half is a huge disappointment, I'm going to treat it like it never existed, and imagine my own story for it after the first half. With all my heart, I sincerely wish that the anime, if there's ever a second season, do NOT take the path the manga has taken. Please! |

| The ending was not exactly what I was expecting but it became clear that that was kind of where the author was going after I read 10 or so chapters after the first time skip. I don't like how it ended mainly because, like most of you, I was hoping for Rin and Kouki to go out and Kouki's mom and Daikichi to get married. After thinking about it a lot though, that would have probably been just as complicated as what Rin and Daikichi are currently facing. If Daikichi and Kouki's mom got married then Rin and Kouki would be brother and sister. If they where dating then their friends and new classmates might start thinking negative things about them and talking behind their backs. So either way the story would have ended with conflicting feelings by the readers. I'm not sure why so many people think the ending was pulled out of the authors ass. A lot of the "random" content was actually already touched on in previous chapters. For example Daikichi's grandfather not being Rin's father. The whole first part of the series (before the time skip) was about the uncertainty of the grandfather and Rin's relationship and Daikichi trying to figure out if Rin was really his daughter. If you go read the old threads pretty much all of us didn't think Daikichi's grandfather was Rin's father. Somewhere along the way Daikichi gave up trying to find out and we all just go with the flow assuming Daikichi's Grandfather is Rin's father. As for the whole "How can Rin love her Father figure??". I think she made it pretty clear in the first arc that she didn't see Daikichi as a father figure. "Daikichi is Daikichi". In fact there was a chapter dedicated to that. Sure his feelings where clearly that of a father though. He raised her as if she was his own. He was with her through her awkward young years where she'd wet her bed all the way up to now, her being a young adult. Anyone in his position would see her as a daughter. But the fact that Rin hasn't looked at Daikichi as a father since the start makes it crystal clear that she was uncertain about what Daikichi really was to her. Was he a father or was he someone she could spend the rest of her life with? Ok I admit the part where Kouki's mom rejects Daikichi twice and then gets married WAS random. I think Kouki's mom was anticipating Kouki and Rin hooking up and didn't want to make a marriage between her and Daikichi make it weird for them. That and, I know this sounds bad, she was looking for someone to support her son financially through college. Daikichi clearly wouldn't be able to support two kids and I'm pretty sure Kouki's mom would have problems as well. Who would pay for the house bills and food if both paid for their kids to go to college? I do agree with what people are saying about skipping over important things in Rin's life. Like her first period (How did Daikichi deal with it? What was his reaction?), Rin's first day in High school...etc...etc. It would have been nice to see how Daikichi handled those types of things. Not to mention it would have given readers a tad more anger when the two hook up in the end lol. Everything else was pretty normal and expected. While the ending was bad I don't think it was out of the realm of possibility from the start. Like I said at the beginning though, I was really hoping for a different ending. |

| That was really...the most disappointing end it could have have. Af all the possible endings this is really the worst... :( A real shame It's like adopting and raising a kid in real life... and than fucking it when it comes to age. And Daikichi doesn't even seem to share the same feelings for Rin... This sucks she should have been together with freaking Kouki! |
       |
| It's not that I'm disappointed with the ending but there are better ending to choose from.. i'd rather go to kouki x rin.. |
 |
| Both CanHazCake's and DeathfireD's opinions made the most sense on this whole thread. It's far etched, but nowhere near impossible. I can't bother going through the details. The ending was OK but there would have been many different and better options for the end. As an anime it gets 10/10 from me, but the manga gets avg. of 7 or 8/10. I for one enjoyed it a lot despite it's flaws. But anyway; where the hell is the extra chapter? It's been about half a year since the release of the latest chapter ¯\(ò_ó)/¯ |
| I'm satisfied with the ending. I don't think i would have liked it if Daikichi married Kouki's mom. It's weird that I couldn't explain, but I have been feeling this was the way it would go. The father-daughter relationship, that was only in Daikichi's view ever since the beginning. Even Rin said so before that he's not his father; Daikichi is Daikichi . *//7//* |
 |
| Spolier alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna discuss the ending of Bunny Drop Ok now the warning is out of the way im pretty mad/ confused on the ending to bunny drop. Daikachi and Rin as a couple.........what????? The reason im confused and maybe this is just my american perspective but i dont know if that is allowed lol. Is Japan more open to those types of relationships? Also kinda mad cuz i war rootin for Koyuki lol. So what did you guys think? |
| Totally disappointed with the manga ,everything seemed too rushed and not to mention the retarded ending. Anyways gave the anime 10/10 but the manga got only 5/10. |

BoredomArrives said: I liked the ending... I got the feeling that the relationship between Rin x Daikichi was weird ever since the beginning. I mean he treated as her daughter but even then, he was so chill about it that it could be viewed more as a friendship as Rin started growing older. Rin also NEVER viewed Daikichi as her father, so it was entirely sensible that she could develop feelings for him. Also for those who keep mentioning incest, its NOT incest, because they are not related, and it was NOT AN UNPRECEDENTED PLOT TWIST that Gramps was not the father because if you guys have ANY brains at all you should have second thoughts about an 80 year old man knocking up a 20-ish year old woman and conceiving a child. Rin rejecting Kouki was perfect for me. I would have hated the two of them to be together... I mean they are literally polar opposites and work much greater as close friends/siblings who help each other out than a romantic couple with little in common. I will admit that the manga was really rushed towards the end especially with Kouki's mom remarrying suddenly and Daikichi sorting everything out within a few chapters. The author should have given Daikichi more time to sort out his feelings if anything. However, I was really happy that the ending showed how Rin attempts to repay Daikichi for his kindness by staying with him till the end. For those people whining about how the ending was rushed or whatever, the only big problem I see is that Daikichi gave in too quickly but otherwise everything made complete sense. I agree. This whole discussion seems to be along the lines of "I hate to hate". I mean honestly the ending isn't bad. The only thing that was ever weird for me is that Daichiki should've at least been made twenty years old, so that way he's not THAT old by that time all of this happens. Other than that i loved the ending, and i feel it completed the story. Also, i absolutely couldn't stand Kouki......So if Rin ended up with him then i would just dislike the series very much. Kouki's mom was ok but again each scene with either of them was a little annoying to watch. |
| Well, i thought that it wasn't THAT bad,just a little bitter?I have no problem with daikichi being with rin ,just that it kinda ruins the "pureness" of the thing. Overall,i like the manga.But since i first discovered this series by anime,i thought it would be better for my own sake,to just say that usagi drop ended at chapter 24 or episode 11 and the rest is like an alternate universe XD I would of have preferred to have a everyone is happy kind of ending and was kinda hoping for it (not that this ending was not happy just different). Like Kouki ending with rin then Daikichi with Kouki's mom. That is all (=^ω^=) |
