Chiming in to say that I also really enjoyed Usagi Drop. I was drawn in by the first chapter when Daikichi selflessly decided to take in his grandfather's illegitimate child when nobody else would. I was expecting a comedic story after the darker opening chapter, and it did not fail to deliver with Daikichi's trials and tribulations after suddenly adopting a 6 year old kid. The second half left behind the lighthearted comedy, and ended up being what I felt was the weaker half. The time skip startled me at first but I suppose it was necessary to get the plot moving towards unraveling Rin's mysterious background, and Rin's background and the various romantic relationships just weren't that interesting. The ending also fell flat, but that's what you get for developing something like that in the last 5 or 6 chapters....... I was rooting for you Kouki! Right now it stands between 7/10 and 8/10 for me, but I'm eagerly awaiting the extra volume before finalizing the score.

Not a fan. It seemed abrupt and really uncharacteristic of Daikichi. Not a fan at all.

However it wasn't enough to spoil the series for me.

Yeah i totally agree with you. I feel the author chose the easy way for some reason, it doesnt feel like Daikichi at all :/
For some reason i really prefer the first part with Rin as a child, the second part feels way too 'shojo' for me ^^'.

I do feel like it was expected of Rin, now that I know the ending it seems a lot more obvious with lots of subtle hints placed here and there + Show Spoiler +

Defiantly Daikichi is a complete copout, I'd like to know more of what he is feeling.

It is a significant change though, the first part is from his point of view, and the second is mainly from Rins, so it is hard to know what he is thinking

EDIT: okay now as I'm re-reading more I'm just getting convinced that I was completely oblivious of Rin's reactions the first time through and it should have been so obvious
