Sep. 15th, 2013 10:00 amI'M REALLY UPSET.
Okay, so my roommate brought home the first three volumes of Bunny Drop, a reasonably adorable manga about a thirtysomething dude who adopts his grandfather's six-year-old lovechild after said grandfather passes away.
It is not like Yotsuba great or anything (because nothing is Yotsuba great) but it's very charming, and does some pretty interesting stuff with exploring the actual cost in time and money of raising a child and how that's gendered. I'm especially interested in the plotline with Rin's birth mother, a mangaka who is committed to her work and does not feel capable of or interested in raising a child.
So I read the first three, and enjoy them, and I start looking into possibly getting the rest of the volumes out of the library. "Huh!" I think. "The library has up to volume 9, wonder if that's all of them? I'll go check Wikipedia --"
AND THAT'S WHERE EVERYTHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG.
( series-destroying spoilers below )
So that happened. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT FINISHING THE SERIES. The problem is I still want to know what happens with the thread with Rin's birth mother. Has anyone read this far? Is it worth reading volume 4 before fleeing for the hills?
