Thirty year old bachelor Daikichi takes in his grandfather's six year old illegitimate daughter. Will they be able to juggle growing up, school, and work together?

This is a learning experience for the both of them. Sometimes you can't tell who is raising whom. So far all around this is just an incredibly cute homey story.

Bunny Drop, v.1 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v. 1 by Yumi Unita - 198 pages

Daikichi goes home for his grandfather's funeral and discovers that his grandfather had a love child.  Nobody in the family seems to want the child, so Daikichi takes Rin home to raise himself.

I really enjoyed this manga.  It's a great story of a guy willing to change his whole life to make sure that a young girl is raised right.

Bunny Drop, v.10 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.10 by Yumi Unita - 204 pages

The final volume of Bunny Drop is a collection of short manga stories that take place over the course of the manga -- from when Rin first went to live with Daikichi to when she is in college and married to Daikichi.  The idea that the two of them get married still bothers me.  Although with the final short story seems to lead to it being more of a platonic relationship.  Daikichi still seems to view Rin as his child that needs to be taken care of.  A very weird relationship.  The other stories I really enjoyed.

Bunny Drop, v.9 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.9 by Yumi Unita - 214 pages

This volume continues the story line of Rin's love for Daikichi.  Daikichi finds out about her feelings and tells her to wait for her to grow up.
I am still disturbed by how this manga is ending.  This volume feels like it is the end - however there is one more volume.  I'm going to read the final volume hoping that the relationship ends quickly.

Bunny Drop, v.7 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.7 by Yumi Unita - 210 pages

Rin decides that she would like to meet her mother.  Yet, she doesn't want to hurt Daikichi and wants to stay with him.  Will he be okay with the meeting?  And how will the meeting go with Masako?
I thought this was a pretty good volume of the story.  It seemed perfectly natural for Rin to want to meet her mother while wanting to make sure that Daikichi was not hurt by the meeting.  I also liked Daikichi's reaction.

Bunny Drop, v.6 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.6 by Yumi Unita - 214 pages

This volume mainly deals with the relationship between Rin and Kouki.  It tells the story of how the rift between them came to be and why a true relationship will never work between them.
I'm still loving the series.  Unfortunately, now I have to wait until I can get the final four volumes of the story.

This continues the story of Daikichi and Rin - the child he took in after his grandfather died.  The second through fourth volume cover the first year that Rin stays with Daikichi.  Volume five jumps ten years to when Rin is starting high school.
I am really enjoying this series.  I'm going through them very quickly.  I can't wait to finish the series.

Bunny Drop, v.2 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.2 by Yumi Unita - 204 pages

This continues the story of Daikichi and his "aunt" Rin.  He decided to take care of Rin after his grandfather's death.  No one in the family knew  of his grandfather's love child and he is the only one willing to take care of her.  It completely changes his life.
This volume deals with the discovery of Rin's mother, Rin starting school, and Daikichi's workplace.
I am really enjoying this series and can't wait to continue reading it.

Bunny Drop, v.1 by Yumi Unita

Bunny Drop, v.1 by Yumi Unita - 208 pages

Daikichi and his family are shocked to discover that his recently deceased grandfather had fathered a small girl.  Nobody in the family wants to deal with her, so Daikichi takes Rin home with home.  Now he has to figure out how to take care of Rin while still working.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel.  In fact, I immediately put the next five volumes on hold as soon as I finished reading it.  I thought the reactions of Daikichi, a man known for not liking children, were realistic to the situation.  I'm also looking forward to the mystery of Rin's mother.
