Some dark humor for drink: you just found out that your daughter is not related to you by blood. You feel -
a. absolutely enraged
b. relieved of burden
c. completely apathetic
d. estatic and horny
e. tastless because it doesn't count as incest anymore

Usagi Drop is especially disgusting because unlike works that attempt to feed you shit from the get-go, it starts off as a mindful and soothing experience, bringing out the wonders of everyday in a slice of life manner: two misfits complete each other in a father-daughter relationship, the protag ultimately realizing that to raise a child was not a sacrifice for him at all. Then timeskip, ... then what?

The kid has daddy issues and the protag just simply decided that it would be a good idea to date a person who he raised from child to adult?

It felt like all previous sections were simply an illusiory tactic for you to unexpected get a mouthfull of the shit that lurks after, and all that was good about the work is twisted and contorted into an unfamilar mess, taking the shape of a vicious smile that is the malice of the author and the demographic that the end alludes to. There is no 'the first half was still a 9 in my heart though', and in the wise words of Aizen 'the [insert work] you knew never existed to begin with'.

And yet though I knew in retrospect now that the ending completely nullified everything before it, granting it a score of 1 in my rational heart, I still couldn't let go of what I originally thought it was, and unable to rate it a 1, I compromised.

Born to eat shit, forced to abstain.
