I mostly just started reading this because I'm interested in seeing the film adaptation (the kid who portrays Rin is an amazing actress), but the manga is actually really good so far. I was starting to think I don't like manga, since there can be some really messed-up content sometimes, but maybe I'm okay with "slice of life" type stuff. It was cool finding a work which thoughtfully explores non-nuclear family dynamics, and I appreciate how respectful, supportive, and non-hierarchical Daikichi's relationship with Rin is. There's a lot of depth in the kids in this story, lots going on in their heads, and I appreciate that too. The solidarity between Rin and another kid who's part of a non-nuclear family had me feeling especially happy, and I look forward to reading more! I watched the anime back when it first aired, and after watching that twice through, I finally started reading the manga. This first book is one of the sweetest and cutest that I have read. Daikichi trying his best to figure out how to take care of Rin is heartwarming, and funny at times. The art style is a bit more on the simple side, but that just adds on to the story. This is definitely worth a read, it'll make you want to read the next and the next. No worries, there's ten books in all ;)
Do You like book Bunny Drop 1 (2010)?
This story is so adorable! I just love Rin. I can't wait to continue with this series.
