This is really cute and really promising... But I had the ending of the series spoiled for me and it squicks me out so hard. Might only read the first four volumes and pretend it ends there.
One of the most wonderful manga I've read in a while. Such a simple story, yet so touching and beautiful. The ending may be disagreeable to some people, but I didn't really think it was that shocking. It was unexpected of course, but not shocking. I recommend this to everyone, it's adorable, sweet, and just wonderfully drawn.
I'm going to warn you in advance - this series seems very cute and wholesome, and it honestly is, up until about the last three or so volumes. If you decide to read this series, I think you should know that it ends with incest. If you want to see specifically what I mean, click the spoiler box. Towards the end of her high school years (before she graduates), Rin decides she wants to marry Daikichi. I was, understandably, pretty alarmed at this turn in the story because up until that point he was pretty much her father and I saw their relationship as a parent-child relationship. I was even more disgusted when he said yes!! It was the absolute worst ending to any manga I've ever read.
This was so adorable. I really can't wait to read the next volumes~ <3
Very simple art, but the story is a complex one that covers parenthood, the true meaning of family, and the importance of sacrifice. That, and Rin is precious. I love her to pieces.
This is a super cute story about a 30 year old man who takes in his dead grandfather's adopted daughter (that no one in the family knew about). It's a really sweet story and very well drawn. There's a little bit to be learned about daily Japanese life in here as well. The relationship between Daikichi and Rin is pretty special.
I just finished the first book of Bunny Drop. It's a heartwarming story about a man who ends up inadvertently adopting his grandfather's lovechild because nobody else will take her. Although the back story is a bit odd (why would his grandfather be hiding a love child from the family and taking such poor care of her?), the story chooses to focus on the relationship between the girl and her new father, and the girl going through loss.
It's emotional without trying too hard, which I really enjoyed, and it shows different aspects of the story that I might not have thought about, were I telling it. I just put the second book on hold at the library and I can't wait to keep reading!

My first Manga, but I wonder if this is representative of the genre...the main character, Daikichi, is 30 years old, a professional on the fast track in a tough business. I thought most Manga characters were teens. The other main character is his...aunt, Rin, five or six years old. Seems as if Grandpa was a randy old goat and fathered little Rin at an advanced age.
Imagine the family's shock to find little Rin, silent, shocked, alone, when they come for Gramps' funeral. Everyone has a reason why he or she cannot take Rin, and why she should just be dumped in an orphanage. Even with no experience, Daikichi volunteers, and the results are eye-opening.
He discovers how much single parents (and mothers) sacrifice. How hard it is to find good child care, to rearrange your professional life to include quality parenting.
One of the beauties of this book is to watch the relationship develop between man and child..and to see his internal monologue as he tries to negotiates instant fatherhood -- of your own aunt! And to fit back into the dating scene as a parent. Some funny moments. I grew to love them both.
The book ends with a cliffhanger discovery as Daikichi attempts to learn something -- anything -- about Rin's absent mother.

*3.5 stars*
An adorable yet meaningful first volume that was really enjoyable. (: I will definitely be reading more of these if just for the comedic intents and great characters, especially that of Rin and Daikichi.

This was a very sweet and odd story!
After Daikichi's grandpa passes away, the family discovers he had a six year-old daughter named Rin. While the family argues over what to do with her, Rin seems to be attaching herself to Daikichi and he. in a fit of frustration, decides to take her in. Daikichi is described as an "overgrown teenager of a man," but I didn't see him that way. He's a 30 year-old man with a steady job, lived alone before Rin, and is inexperienced with women and children? But he's independent and pretty capable of raising her despite his inexperience. It's clearly challenging, and the story did not hesitate to show how hard it is to be a single working parent. But it's also very rewarding for him, as Rin grows to trust him more and helps him to become more responsible.
