Apparently volume 10 contains an interview by the mangaka stating that she wanted to contrast Bunny Drop with her other series, Yoningurashi, where a couple raises two young kids and...that's it. I can't confirm this, since I don't own vol. 10, but I read it from this site: http://suitablefortreatment.mangabookshelf.com/2014/05/01/bunny-drop-vol-10/ |

I don't overtly mind what happened, but I do think that it was very badly and unrealistically told.
But anywho, the only single father manga that really matters in my eyes is My Girl. |

Usagi Drop is one of the very few series I prefer the anime over the manga of. After the timeskip, it goes from being a fun, cute manga into a generic teenage shoujo drama. No thanks. There's enough of those titles flooding bookstores already.
I think Otaku no Musume-san - a manga about a 30-something otaku who one day finds out he has a daughter and raises her - had an overall better ending than Usagi Drop. At least in Otaku no Musume-san they never lost focus on the father/daughter relationship, whereas a good chunk of the time skip in Usagi Drop focuses almost entirely on Rin. |

Am i the only one who got slightly irritated by the portrayal of Daikichi as this almost saintlike person who was instantly willing to give up everything for this kid that wasn't even his own? A bit more (inner) struggle would have been nice. Then there's The Evil Birth Mother who abandoned her child for her career (*gasp!*), but later gets a chance to "redeem herself" by having another kid and finally becoming a "good mother".
So with that in mind - and Daikichi's open contempt for Masako - i couldn't help but finding it pretty ironic that this allegedly flawless father figure, seems to be completely fine with getting to bang his "precious daughter" in the end as a reward for all those sacrifices he made for her... But yeah, the ending sucks. |

Kodomo no Jikan was much better and had a better ending.

This manga reminded me of a quote from Neil Gaiman's Sandman, except replace "death" with "going completely off the rails" or what have you.
"All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories—if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." |

The problem with the ending is that it destroys the entire heart and soul of the first part.
I was enamored with the story of a man raising his adoptive daughter through hardships and fun times, but with the ending accounted for, it suddenly became a story about a man raising his future wife to later have babies with her. Call me close-minded but this isn’t what I consider a fitting nor a beautiful ending. I wouldn’t complain if it was a shallow series like Oreimo, but the characters and emotions in Bunny Drop felt genuine and realistic. So for convenience sake, I just pretend there is no second half. |

Irritated by selfless love? No. If you don't get it, talk to actual parents sometime. |

Sure, because "actual parents" never have doubts or - god forbid! - negative feeling towards their kids... |

Oh please, do away with the straw man. It's not my problem if you think adoptive parents are too unrealistic. No one said there was no sacrifice or challenge involved. Done with you.

No, i said Daikichi was too unrealistic for someone who quite literally became a parent from one minute to the next, but whatever... |
