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! Kind of a boring beginning to this one, for me- I didn't feel particularly drawn in to the story and though I didn't stop, I didn't have a great desire or need to keep reading and find out what would happen next. The mist interesting part was, for sure, right towards the end, and in the last part overall it really did pick up. I didn't think I'd be going along for the next volume, but I find myself very interested after a nice twist towards the end.
What do You think about Usagi Drop Vol. 1 (2000)?
A man-child opts to take care of a little girl. Simple yet sweet. Infatuated by the art. Cute story.
