Usagi Drop

About Usagi Drop

By force of circumstances, a 30-year-old single man with a full-time job suddenly starts raising a 6-year-old girl. While running each other ragged, the two of them gradually grow into a “family”. This is the long-awaited anime version of “Bunny Drop”, the extremely popular and finely crafted comic by Yumi Unita. It’s a heartwarming and entertaining work that naturally depicts child-raising experiences, but also the instantly relatable warmth and noise of being in a family.

Daikichi, a 30-year-old bachelor, encounters Rin, a 6-year-old girl he doesn’t know, at his grandfather’s funeral. Daikichi is flabbergasted when he learns that she is actually the illegitimate child of his grandfather. The other relatives pretend to have a discussion over who will get custody of Rin, all the while trying to fob her off on each other. Unable to let this pass, Daikichi impulsively declares that he will adopt Rin. Daikichi has a strong sense of justice, but he’s a blunderer, while Rin, though a little girl, has a strong mind. And so their life together begins, a road that is sure to be bumpy and will require cooperation from both of them. Can Daikichi handle both child-raising and his work? And will the single Daikichi find a partner to make his new family complete?
