A comforting and realistic showcase of the meaning of family, with the merits and challenges of raising a child.
A heartwarming near masterpiece, with an unfortunate catch-22 of an ending.
Usagi Drop is "food for the soul" for any person that wants something warm to watch I highly recommend this!
A heartwarming tale about a man raising a child and all that comes with being thrust into parenthood.
