Synopsis

When bachelor Daikichi Kawachi attends his grandfather's funeral, he is surprised to find a mysterious young girl alone in the garden. To his astonishment, the shy and reserved girl, named Rin Kaga, is believed to be the illegitimate child of his late grandfather.

Due to the shameful circumstances related to the little girl, no one in the family is willing to take her in following her father's death. Infuriated by the coldness extended to an innocent child, Daikichi announces that he will take care of Rin himself, despite his young age, single status, and lack of parental experience.

Usagi Drop follows the story of Daikichi and Rin as they try to find happiness and purpose to their fateful meeting.

I just finished this manga recently and probably unlike a lot of the readers here I knew the ending before the series began. It actually deterred me from reading it for a long time, after reading the series I think this series has been treated quite unfairly. This series simply put is a masterpiece if you understand what the author is portraying and who the audience is. Adapting this series into anime set unrealistic ideas of what the author is trying to portray.

Usagi drop is one of the rare josei series to receive anime adaptions. Josei manga targeted towards older women, and usually ...

Mixed Feelings
Warning: Massive ending spoilers ahead. I'm very sorry but that 6 up there can't be properly explained without delving deep into spoiler territory.

I wish Usagi Drop had 2 separate entries, one being the start and one everything after the time-skip, starting in chapter 26. It's for one very simple reason. Usagi Drop is a prime example of how a great concept can still run off the rails badly. It's a masterclass in turning what starts as a warm, cute and fuzzy story into a catastrophic failure of a 'romantic' drama.

The gist of the premise is that Daikichi (a man who couldn't more obviously be unhappy ...

So I got into this anime not knowing what to expect.
It was a very warm and bright story about a not so ordinary family that started when daikitchi decided to adopt an orphan relative and raise her as his like his own child.
It was a beautiful story about the struggles of parenthood and how being a single parent is!

Naturally when the anime ended you'd want to see more of it so I went and read the manga. (I wish I didn't)

(The score is not 1 just Cz the first half was amazing)

It was ok at first even after the timelapse!
But at some point ...

Interest Stacks
