Usagi Drop ( Jap. うさぎドロップ , Usagi Doroppu ) is a Josei - Manga of Yumi Unita , the 2011 as anime was filmed television series and live action.
action
The story begins suddenly with the invitation of thirty-year-old, busy and unmarried warehouse worker Daikichi Kawachi ( 河 地 大吉 , Kawachi Daikichi ) to his grandfather's funeral. He is one of the first relatives to arrive there and meets a young girl on the doorstep whom he cannot attribute to his family. During a conversation with his mother, who had already made the first preparations, he was surprised to hear from her that the girl was his grandfather's illegitimate daughter, whose existence had previously been concealed. While the family arrives, Daikichi meets relatives who have not been seen for a long time and the preparatory work is in full swing, he repeatedly meets the young girl who makes a rather adult impression on him. Eventually, her name turns out to be Rin Kaga ( 鹿 賀 り ん , Kaga Rin ). During the actual funeral ceremony, it becomes apparent that Rin has great feelings for her late father and that she knows him better than the rest of the family. Nevertheless, the relatives argue about who should take responsibility for Rin. Everyone tries to reject them as much as possible and the conversation tends to turn in the direction of Rin to a home when Daikichi takes heart and decides to take her in, although the entire family advises against it.
So the actual plot begins with Daikichi having to change his entire life relatively quickly. After all, he can't just drop Rin off somewhere or leave her at home while he goes about his work. So he looks around as quickly as possible for a preschool that Rin could take on for the time being. He finally succeeds. Still, a lot is changing for him. So he has to come to terms with slipping into the role of a foster father and has his hands full with Rin at home, who also surprises him again and again. However, he also has to shorten his working hours because preschool closes early and Rin is always the last one waiting for him.
Over time, however, this settles in and Daikichi tries to educate Rin as best he can - and he keeps asking himself who is educating whom here. At work and in his free time, he tries to get in touch with mothers of younger children in order to get advice from them. After all, he stumbled into this situation head over heels and still has a lot to learn. He cares about many everyday things like reporting to government offices, looking for a school and so on. Through Rin he also gets to know new people. Among other things, Rin's friend and later school friend Kōki Nitani ( 二 谷 コ ウ キ , Nitani Kōki ). In addition, Kōki's mother Yukari Nitani ( 二 谷 ゆ か り , Nitani Yukari ) is single after a divorce and is also thirty years old. Since the very decent Rin and the over-excited Kōki get along very well, there are always moments when the two adults come together and a breath of future love is in the air.
On the other hand, the search for Rin's mother, for whom there are initially no clues, is quite different. All Rin knows is that she was a cleaning assistant in her father's household. However, she does not know her name and there is no trace of the deceased's will either. Ultimately, however, this falls into Daikichi's hands because his grandfather had packed it between the documents at Rin, knowing full well that whoever genuinely cares for Rin would find it. Finally, the name of the temporary worker, Rin's biological mother, can be found in the will. Her name is Masako Yoshii ( 吉 井 正 子 , Yoshii Masako ). At a meeting that she agrees to, it turns out that she has left her daughter on her own initiative. She is pretty cold-blooded and always a bit evasive when it comes to Rin, because she is aiming for a career as a mangaka and she would not have time for Rin. However, Rin is not informed about this and Daikichi keeps the meetings a secret out of consideration for her.
After initial doubts that Daikichi would be able to deal with Rin, his family gradually turns to him again and learns to accept Rin.
