   Review: Bunny Drop

   From: usenet-2011@planetcobalt.net   
      
   At his late grandfather's funeral 30-year-old Daikichi learns that the   
   old man not only had had a lover, but also had spawned an illegitimate   
   daughter. Disgusted about his relatives' unfeeling quarreling about what   
   to do with the child, the bachelor decides to take in the 6-year-old   
   Rin (effectively his aunt) himself.   
      
   This is how Yumi Unita's manga "Bunny Drop" starts. The story follows   
   Daikichi and Rin as they settle in and face the everyday challanges of a   
   single parent.   
      
   Basically "Bunny Drop" is a grown-up version of "Aishiteruze Baby**",   
   and although Yumi Unita's style isn't as cutesy as Yoko Maki's, the   
   characters aren't any less adorable. The story is equally good, too.   
      
   "Bunny Drop" is published by Yen Press. At the time of this writing, the   
   first two volumes have been released. Volumes 3 and 4 are announced for   
   March and September 2011 respectively.
