The main characters of 3-gatsu no Lion and Houseki no Kuni try to find their place in the world. Rei was thrown into a situation he didn't choose (his dependency on shogi), and Phos starts off useless due to a condition (s)he didn't choose, in a society that requires a function from everyone. They experience how it's lonely at the top, and how much these at the top had to sacrifice in order to get there. As coming of age stories, they lay down the importance of these around you, and that yes, you have value.

As much as these shows could be considered very different from each other, they have similar themes of family and parenting. While Dragon Maid has a more laidback approach to these topics, not going too deep into family issues or the complexities of raising a child, Usagi Drop explores them with a grain of realism. Also expect from these shows many cute, funny and some heartwarming moments. If like me you have grown old too fast to the point of enjoying a parenting tale but haven't grown out of anime yet, you will like Usagi Drop for sure. If you also tolerate some moe and minor, mostly harmless fanservice, Dragon Maid yet is self-aware and honest with its audience, so you should give it a try.
