About this title

Synopsis

When bachelor Daikichi Kawachi attends his grandfather's funeral, he is surprised to find a mysterious young girl alone in the garden. To his astonishment, the shy and reserved girl, named Rin Kaga, is believed to be the illegitimate child of his late grandfather. Due to the shameful circumstances related to the little girl, no one in the family is willing to take her in following her father's death. Infuriated by the coldness extended to an innocent child, Daikichi announces that he will take care of Rin himself, despite his young age, single status, and lack of parental experience. Usagi Drop follows the story of Daikichi and Rin as they try to find happiness and purpose to their fateful meeting. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Daikichi is a 30 year old bachelor who has a tendency of scaring away both women and children. Whilst he doesn't exactly mind that he scares children, as he isn't too fond of young people, he seems to be lonely as a single man. At his grandfather's funeral, he meets a newly orphaned illegitimate child, named Rin. In a fit of anger at his relatives' cold shoulder to the girl, he announces that he will be the one to take care of her. Daikichi now finds himself in the role of father, and must adjust his life accordingly. Daikichi doesn't have much motivation aside from getting to work each day. When his grandfather passes away, Daikichi feels sorry for the unwanted child that is left behind and takes her in. A bachelor and inexperienced with kids, he has a lot to learn so he can care for Rin properly but with his laid back personality and honest hard work to give her exactly what she needs, Daikichi learns as he goes. His patient, awkward, gentle and straight forward nature works perfectly opposite to Rin's shy wit. He is constantly learning as a new parent but you can't help but love him for each mistake he makes.
