It was not as bad as people say it is

So, many people who have seen and loved Usagi Drop definitely aren't a fan of the manga due to its not well received ending. OF course I have heard of the ending before watching the anime which ended up being one of my all time favourite anime. Then I wanted to witness the ending myself and so I did.

The story goes like the anime up until the 4th volume so in the 5th volume there is a huge time skip. Around 10 years or so where we see Rin attending high school with familiar faces ... such as Kouki. New people also arrived to the scene. Many of Rin's new friends questioned why Rin isn't attracted to Kouki since he is hot and very athletic but according to Rin because he is just a friend. At this time we also see Rin's mind develop and the effect of puberty and such. Rin starts thinking who he really is attracted to. To this he can only think of one man and that is his Guardian Daikichi. And this was the point where most of the hate towards the manga start to appear. Before that happening it was more smooth sailing.

First, The secret gets accidentally spilled by Kouki who first realized what was going on. Then of course Daickichi doesn't really believe Kouki. Rin kinda asks Daickichi how he feels about this but to this Daickichi says that it is impossible due to how he sees Rin. Some more build up happens and Rin asks again if it is okay and to this Daickichi says that give him 2 years until Rin graduates. Since he must first think of it and maybe Rin will find someone else. Does this happen? No, sadly enough. After the 2 years Rin hasn't changed her mind and Daickichi just accepts the thing that happened. Of course they don't get married instantly. After all this we see their life as a couple.

giving it a 9 and saying i have mixed feelings is kinda weired huh
well basically i personally liked the story since from the begging it was set to go towards that ending (in hints and stuff)
understading those hints meant you were ready for the story to finalize but a lot of people didn't expect it that dosen't change the fact it's good
it will get annoying after chapter 25 to 38 something but after that it's good so that beeing said do give it a read knowing the feelings of it of course
mixed feelings because some will say this is shid and ... some will say it's good it's not for everyone that's for sure

Yup, the other reviews were right. This shit was weird.

the first half of this manga is a very touching and heartfelt display of an unwilling father coming to terms with the new responsibilities that come with raising a small child. There were some parts of the story that had me smiling from ear to ear. It was very cute.

There are lots of people that complain about endings ruining a good piece of media. But normally that is because the ending falls flat, or the ending does not give them the satisfaction that they desire. This, though, is one of the rare circumstances where the ending ... TRULY ruins the manga. The ending isn't just dissatisfying, it completely recontextualizes everything that happened earlier in the manga and gives it a sour taste.

If you somehow haven't been spoiled of the ending and want to experience a cute found family type of story, watch the anime and pretend the manga doesn't exist. Truly.
