Usagi Drop

Complete | Unita Yumi | 2005 released

Slice of Life // Childcare // Single Parent // Family // Cohabitation // Guardian Relationship // Age Gap // Smart & Strong Female Lead // Time Skip ו•× 79 y.o. grandpa had an illegitimate child!? - Daikichi (30): "So mom...that makes her your little sister then! Which makes her my aunt..." haha what a bizarre family circumstance! ➸ Heartwarming slice of life story about a man who decided to raise a little girl on his own. The core of the story is exactly about the hardships a single parent has to go through, raising a kid. The story highlights also other realistic issues about particular family circumstances, such as divorce, adoption, abandonment of a child, reencounter with birth mother etc. In particular, ch 1-24 (adapted into anime and live-action) are about Daikichi raising Rin, putting his life into it and making sacrifices for the little girl. Then after a 10 years time skip, the story takes a certain direction, which not everyone may welcome. Personally, I loved this story, because it's so sweet, especially at the beginning: little Rin was simply too cute! I liked it till the end. I was curious to see the development of their relationship. But at the same time, I'm not completely satisfied with the ending, as I wanted to see more about how their future will be. [Spoiler] It's not incest: Daikichi's gandpa adopted Rin, but he wasn't her father, so Rin and Daikichi aren't related by blood. Well, it may still be unconfortable if you think about the fact that Daikichi, after raising Rin as a daugther for 10 years, becomes the young girl's love interest...and also their huge age gap, but imo the story was pure and sweet till the very end (and actually there isn't even a little kiss)! Also, Daikichi was conflicted about it and said that he never thought about Rin in that way, so I don't think of him as a perv who raised a little girl just to think of her in a sexual way later! He isn't that kind of man! Of course, this is my opinion, but I think that if one takes it for what it is, a fictional story, overall it's good and nice to read.

ʚ(())ɞ "Go ahead and open your eyes. You're not the only one in pain..." - Great dramatic story! I think everyone could read it, because it carries a beautiful message. By the way, I really liked the meaningful words from the author...after all, no one can explain better than the author herself what she wanted to convey - http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/tomorrow/mf/v01/c000/4/ - and I think she did a very good job. > I'm glad that in the end Aya was able to stand back up again thanks to Nayu-chan and Issei-kun, who both knew well the pain of losing loved ones. After all, Yuu died to save her life and that tells how important she was to him. So she has to keep on living and treasure the life Yuu saved. If she threw that life away, then Yuu's sacrifice would have been for nothing...Thankfully, Issei-kun and Nayu-chan were able to fill the hole in her heart and make her understand the value of life. Together, these three people healed each others' hearts and that's truly beautiful!
