Anime Review ~ Usagi Drop


This light hearted summer anime is a MUST WATCH!

Daikichi attends the funeral of his maternal grandfather. To his surprise, the old man had fathered a child with his young lover who abandoned the little girl to the old man to pursue her work.

The rest of the family members are ashamed of this and unwilling to look after the little girl. In a fit of anger, Daikichi decides he will bring the unfortunate girl home and raise her himself.

He is pleasantly surprised by the joy the little girl brings in his life and learns that as a parent - there are many sacrifices to be made. Yet he finds that these changes aren't so bad after...in fact, he enjoys it!


~*Daikichi Kawachi*~

A calm and good natured young man who adopted his six-year-old aunt(the aforementioned little girl) in a spontaneous fit of rage. A top worker in his department, he finds that he is willing to 'bend the rules' simply to accommodate the newest member in his mundane bachelor life. I can't even begin to describe how much he dotes on the girl. Honestly, I would be glad to have someone like this in my life.


~*Rin Kaga*~

A very pretty little girl. Smart and talented, she is a very sweet person to hang out with. Initially silent and withdrawn due to the early cold treatment received by her elderly father's relatives, she became quiet. After gaining trust from Daikichi, she is seen more open and friendly. Eventually, the rest of Daikichi's family members also warms up to the girl seeing how adorable she is.

This is an anime that highlights the joy and reality of parenting. Watching this, I can't wait to be a parent.

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
