review 1: It took me forever to pick up Usagi Drop. I've been hearing about how good it is pretty much since it came out. And yet, I never felt like I wanted to read it. I started it yesterday out of pure desperation (I've read almost all the good manga available in languages I know by now...

review 1: Review after completion of series, volume notes to follow:1) Rin is slowly developing as a character and it's fun to see it. 2) Slow pace is actually growing on me as this is a slice of life manga and the point is...well looking at life. 3) The stuff about the mother is a bit ann...

review 1: It was endearing to see how worried Daikichi was to let Rin walk to school without him. Of course she was with Kouki who proved himself to be quite the protector! I really hope something happens with Nitani, Kouki's mom because I just think she's the sweetest and perfect for Da...
