Usagi Drop by UNITA Yumi

Summary.
When Daikichi returns home for his grandfather's funeral he meets an unfamiliar child in the garden. Later, his mother explains to him that Rin is grandfather's illegitimate daughter! The presence of the child causes embarrassment to all relatives and nobody wants to adopt her. Daikichi, annoyed by such attitude, decides to take care of her himself. How will the cohabitation between the bachelor and the quiet Rin evolve?

Comments.
I adore this story for its realistic plot.
Daikichi is adorable in his earnest attempts to raise Rin despite the fact that he has absolutely no experience with children and the hardships the face due to public opinions. Rin herself is quite a subdued child, and it takes a lot of effort on Daikichi's part to pull her out of her shell.

This manga has been realeased in English at long last under the title "Bunny Drop." So please support the mangaka by purchasing a copy :)
