How are you today! ^0^ I am better than I have been! I am a bit sad today, though. I will not be going to teh same high school as many of my friends...I feel sad because they are receiving their classes and the rest of us are still waiting. But I did write a review during class because we're on holiday now! The students and teachers are lazy, so we didn't do any work! Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui! ^ 0 ^ Je suis meilleur que j'ai été! Je suis un peu triste aujourd'hui, si. Je ne vais pas aller à la même école secondaire que beaucoup de mes amis ... Je suis triste parce qu'ils reçoivent leur calsses et le reste d'entre nous attendent encore. Mais j'ai écrit un examen au cours calss parce que nous sommes en vacances maintenant! Les étudiants et les enseignants sont paresseux, alors nous n'avons pas fait les travaux!
Review: Bunny Drop (うさぎドロップ), by Yumi Unita
Thirty Year old Bachelor Daikichi is chronically single and living alone. When his grandfather passes away everyone is shocked to find that the senior, who was supposed to have lived alone, had had a love child with an unknown woman called "The Helper". Six-year-old Rin takes an immediate liking to Daikichi because of his extreme resemblance to her father. No one wants to take Rin in and, being fed up with his relative’s selfishness, Daikichi decides to take in Rin. The story takes off from there at a slightly fast pace: Rin blends righ into Daikichi's life, while Daikichi tried to find an emergency day care for her. He finds that having Rin and being in the department of his work will not work, and asks to switch departments. He soon finds a day care for Rin and befriends a colleague, as well. Gotou-San is a very tiny, and very kind young woman with a two year old son- their relationship is strictly platonic from the start. His relationship with the mother of Rin's friend is not. kouki-kun's mother, Nitani, is a gorgeous woman who is kind and caring. In the first two volumes, we know that she is divorced from her husband, and works all the time. Their relationship grows over time but becomes aggravating at some points. As many manga have in common, Bunny Drop shows the creators hesitation on making any gigantic leaps. Unita-san tells an adorable story of a lost little girl and a bachelor coming together to create a father-daughter relationship, thus making a family. Unita-san’s writing is simple, but Daikichi’s long monologues don’t bore, and tell the story in an interesting and new way. Unita-san’s drawing is primitive, and leaves me wanting more at time in the story, which is why I gave this manga an eight out of ten. I would like to say that her drawing gets better from chapter one to chapter 33 (all that I have read so far. I read the volumes in Japanese and then in English. There are eight volumes out in Japanese.), but it does not. All in all, Bunny drop is an adorable little tale of two extremely different people coming together. There are three volumes out in English so far, and I would strongly encourage you to pick up a copy today. There are scanilations, but I don’t encourage them. If you DO read them, make sure to pick up the volumes to support the publisher!
Enjoy Usagi Drop and having a nice day <3
