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

Yup, the other reviews were right. This shit was weird.
the first half of this manga is a very touching and heartfelt display of an unwilling father coming to terms with the new responsibilities that come with raising a small child. There were some parts of the story that had me smiling from ear to ear. It was very cute. There are lots of people that complain about endings ruining a good piece of media. But normally that is because the ending falls flat, or the ending does not give them the satisfaction that they desire. This, though, is one of the rare circumstances where the ending ... Nov 7, 2021
**Attention**
If you want a 10/10 manga, then read till chapter 24 and pretend the manga ended there. If you happen to be Woody Allen, or in want of a pathetic attempt of justifying grooming, then by all means go ahead. I for one cannot accept that under any circumstances, it doesn't matter whether they are related by blood or not. The pre time-skip manga was so wholesome, the characters were so well drawn out and nuanced, the relationships were so layered, that's it's almost impossible to believe that the post time-skip was written by the same author. It's as if he had an agenda to destroy everything he ... May 15, 2020
Okay so I am going to spoil here but I feel it is necessary to spoil here because otherwise you may make the same mistake I did and fall in love with the story only to be crushed with disappointment. If you can't stand stories with incest themes or large age gap couples then DO NOT READ THIS. There is technically no blood relation but I still found it appalling. If you don't mind this then go ahead and read it and don't read this review any further because it has severe spoilers
I started reading this after I watched the anime and thought that cute ... Mar 8, 2021
The best thing about Usagi Drop is that everyone knows about it and its finale thus you don’t necessarily have to hold back in what you say when you talk or write about it, but I’ll try to do it anyways while I cover both versions.
There are a good bunch of manga and anime about someone taking care of a child all by themselves but Usagi Drop has the unorthodox approach and quick progression of having a thirty years old man adopting his illegitimate 6 years old aunt, the kind of stuff that makes you raise an eyebrow and check the source out of curiosity ...

This is definitely one of the most disappointing works I've seen or read until now, though it's not like I absolutely hate the adolescent part, without it I might've given this a 6 or a 7.
Now, I can relate to the awkwardness of how to behave near a child in order not to set a bad example, in that regard it was done pretty well, the problem is that without it the writer doesn't have anything to show off, being (at least at the time) weak on most fronts. I wasn't engaged, enjoyment was few and far between and I didn't learn much of anything at ... |
