My Girl

an older man having to look after a young girl, for different reasons. The two have very similar stories, but perhaps a different mood to how they tell them. My Girl seems a lot more like it has many morals to share with the viewers, while usagi drop seems to be more realistic in terms of drama, and comedic. Both are good reads.
Both series are about a man who meets and raises a young girl he hadn't previously known to exist after the death of her parent -- in My Girl it's his daughter whose mother has died, in Usagi Drop it's his late grandfather's child. Very much the same slice-of-life-ish 'children raise you' kind of series.

Both stories feature the father-daughter relationship between a little girl (already past the age of 5) and a business man who had no knowledge of her existence. The relationships are also taboo socially. In Usagi Drop, because she is not really his daughter, and in My Girl, because he'd have to have been 18 when she was conceived.
The main difference between the two mangas is their over all feel. Usagi Drop is rougher than My Girl. The interaction is less subtle and the characters are less complicated. Even the art style has more hard edges and thick lines. And the main character is gruff

Both are very similar: a man taking care of a little girl.
The story was very similar to the moment that Rin grew. Almost everyone likes the anime more than the manga (Usagi Drop). If you are one of these people, then I'm sure you'll enjoy My Girl.
