Usagi Drop

Ah!

What?

Excuse me

Ah, daikichi!

Dad!

Gimme a hand

You can see his face if you like

Long time no see

Daikichi

Mom ... That little girl?

An illegitimate child of your Grandpa

Ah, sorry, they look alike

Excuse me

So, Mom, this kid is your sister?

She's my aunt

Don't be stupid, help me instead

Sorry, I am late

Tell me Mom, what's this about?

It's fine

Indeed!

So much alike!

Incredible, such a surprise!

Scary! The spitting image

A dead ringer for Grandpa

Aaaah such a striking likeness

Oh, you look like him!

What what what, what's the fuss about?

Wow! You look so much like him

Enough already

So, what about the illegitimate child?

Her father just died, what is she doing?

Did you know about her? Since when?

When do you stop?

Behave now

Really, what kind of child is that?

You're a kindergarten educator, right?

I don't wanna come back home to more work

And now we are proceeding to the farewell ceremony

It is time to bid your farewell

What is it?

Bluebells, Grandpa used to like them

Careful

He's not waking up this time

Not this time

This is bad, this is waaaaay bad

So old, making a child

Unbelievable

Who's the woman?

Who cares!

It's sad, she's 6 ... 6

You chieh

How could you ignore it close as you were

I have enough on my plate already

How did he dare?

He was visiting her once every several months

At that time he was on his own

He was hiding it

No need for secrets

Indeed, why no tell it

He thought he would meet disapproval

Bad, waaaaay bad

So indecent ... He even joined the neighborhood council

The neighborhood council position is mine

That kid doesn't talk

Ena!

Although she's my age

It's embarrassing, it's strange

She's not strange, she can talk

Adults are talking now, take a cookie and go

Strange cookie

What kind of kid is that

Still, the mother, who is that woman?

If we knew ...

But now what comes next?

Who's gonna take care of the child?

Not us, we're busy enough with the shop

If she was a little older we'd accommodate her

And she's a bit weird

If she was a little more endearing

How did Grandpa raise her?

How about your place Sachiko?

No way, she is so small

Mom, you stay home you could take her in for a while

Out of the question, I have no spare time

Raise a kid by oneself is a hard job

How many sacrifices I did nobody knows

Poor kid is left stranded there

Still, she is family

If Grandpa is really the father

In the meantime we could send her to an institution

People should not know we need a remote institution

Do I have to inquire?

Who's gonna take care of it?

Such a worthless place is not for kids

Would you come home with me?

Hold on, Daikichi!

What's going on?

Uncle I'm hungry

What a fix!

Idiot, did I have to show off like that!?

Would you come home with me?

Did I have to say such a blunder

More?

There's rice left but no more veggies

There

* rice balls

Onigiri?

Thanks

Let's see now

Delicious!

What did you say your name was?

Rin

Rin

Me it's Daikichi

Daikichi

Safer if we hold hands

Even for a little while raising a kid is hard work

Still the hardest is for her

Her luggage, this is all she has here

Her health handbook her documents

That's it?

Really

Miss Masako

Rin? You made your choice?

Sorry, I'm not good at this

What?

They're only pants

I can't were a skirt at nursery school

Is that right

Nursery school?!

Damn!

Nursery school

How do I get you registered there?

Yep

Serves you well to show off

Tough situation, where are you now?

Gimme a break, what do you call for?

You're stuck now

Daikichi, i'll get this one

I'm fine

Really

Hey Kazumi, how does she enter a nursery school?

See you're in trouble

How about your kindergarten?

How many hours commuting do you want?

Ah, gimme a break

What?

What's this

One close to home

Nursery school or kindergarten what's the difference?

I have no idea

I can't wait any longer

Together we can overcome this

I think what you're doing is good

But I can't be that kid's mother

Three options

One 窶

A nursing school

Close to your place, but closes at 6

TWO - Chuuou Primrose nursing school

Close to your working place, closes at 7

Three - cradle nursing school

Rather far from your work but works 24hours

Which one is best?

No idea

What's this?

I like the way you live

It is not possible

I couldn't forget you

But you make me uncomfortable

Comfort kills love, discomfort is love

Arousing desire

Splendid!

Alright

Careful!

Come here

I can see it, Cradle Nursing School

Here we are

Good morning

I may be late on our schedule

It's alright

That's it, thanks for all

Damn, I am late

Don't make that face

It's impossible

I'll come to get you, I promise

Yubi kiri genman if I tell a lie I drink a thousand needles

And cut my little finger

You got the song wrong

Alright then, see you tonight, Rin

Good morning

You're late Kawachi

My bad

Oh, you're rarely late

So sorry

Mr. Kawachi, take this

The pics samples for the catalog

Take it for the noon review

Don't have time enough

Alright

Kawachi, someone for you on line 4

Yes Kawachi speaking

Yes i'll inquire right away

Yes, my pleasure

Thank you

Yes Kawachi speaking

Yes, absolutely

I think we don't have it

I am so sorry

The older item has to come front

The newer one behind

One more pointer

She had a regular meal

Surely she's not among delinquents

What's she doing now?

I need to arrive fast

It's so far that Cradle Nursing School

Now with the bag, the shoes

Daikichi, how about this?

It's tiny

Tiny?

How about this?

It's showy

This?

One more time

Really?

Let's get them all

You want this?

We arrive soon

Hang on!

Hang on!

Good morning

This is the next schedule for shop clerk training

A makeup artist is coming from China on that day

Could we make it a little earlier?

Alright

Sorry, going thru

Good morning

In case it is not in store

Then you do like this

Daikichi!

We are both ... Exhausted

Ouch!

Alright, alright

Who is it ... Mom

How is it going?

What now?

Emergency nursing

So, what?

Three more days

You idiot, I told you

What can I do?

Listen...

Daikichi

You should do something

What?

Nobody knows how many sacrifices I did!

What are you saying?

You are serious

Please transfer me in a section with no extra time

Thank you for your understanding

I see ... This is what happened

I thought about it

My working place right now I'm raising a child, it's becoming impossible

Actually, on my floor

There is no one raising a child

Is that a fact

In our company, when the child is about to come, the lady resigns

But personally, i think it's a waste

I can't accept this

We were so busy last month

Without you ...

Mr. Hidaka, please say something

Kawachi made up his mind, he thought this thru

In this predicament he drops us suddenly, it is bad

May be sudden but...

If you leave, it's unbearable

An order for immediate transfer

It happens very often

Just forget about it

Even if that kid is a close relative

What should YOU be affected?

The nursing school works late hours

And you could be helped by relatives

There HAS to be other options

Hey Kawachi, you look cheerful as usual

Mrs. Gotoh

Mrs. Gotoh, I think you live with your son

"Live with" ... He is not that big yet

My son is just 2

It may sound abrupt but

I have just been entrusted with the custody of a 6 year old girl

How are you surviving it?

When you arrived in this department

I had the same opinion as the other guys

Lately they made a daycare place for kids in the company

But here what kind of country is this

Even with a day care place

Bringing a kid everyday in the train is impossible

Absolutely

Mrs. Gotoh, do you think having a kid adversely affected your life?

This is a tough one

I am not sure I am up to people's expectations

Still ... The time spent with him is my "quality time"

What? Did I say something weird?

Sure ... You did!

Is it ready?

Wait ... Rin?

It alright for the meal?

Alright then

Your things in the bag?

Towel

Lunchbox

Coat

Toothbrush

Cup

Ok?

Your name's written here

Let's go now

Daikichi, quick, quick!

Run

I don't know exactly what Rin wants of me

But the first time when I met

That sad and lonely little girl

When I hold her hand like this nothing else matters

Is there anything more to life?

Today we have a new friend her name is Rin Kaga

From an early age they have English classes and ample teaching material

You had your kid join to such English class?

Am telling you, my wife is so keen on it

I wanted to enlist my kid with an actor agent

My daughter is just so cute

She's so cute

My daughter's cuter

Check mine

So cute

If you don't wear your hat you'll get in trouble

The string is not in set right

My father says ... A man can be careless

Daikichi is careless too

Daikichi?

Yep daikichi

It's great

Your name?

Rin

What .... ? Could this be ....?

I am fine ... It's not me

It's sweat!

Alrighty then ... sweat it is ... help me change the sheet now

Rin?

It's fine if you wake me up

It's alright, just sweat

Sweat or ... Whatever please wake me up

So? Bed wetting

She was fine ... What happened now?

Mine is still only 2

So I can't help you there

Maybe it her way of affirming her independence

Changing her clothes on her own she's embarrassed in front of you

I can see this

The kids, careful with their words say things in unexpected ways

They are refined in their expression

I remember a kid, thought he was confused

He could not find the right words

But in his emotions he was very articulate

You can't trust appearances

What do you mean by that?

Rin, you went to the bathroom?

Yes, I did

So good night

Good night

It's exactly as I left it before

Rin, you haven't been

Really, women are such liars

I thought she was just a kid

Rin, in fact you haven't been to the bathroom

What? ... You're scared?

Make sure you go before bedtime

Please go

What if I wet the bed anyway?

Don't you mind that

You're still little no need to be concerned

I did it until I was 6

Really?

Yeah like, peeeee, peeeee!

A puddle that big!

Way up to here, aaaaaaall over here!

You too will die?

You too will end up dead?

I won't die

Ever?

When, I don't know but it will be far from now

When you become a woman when you become a lady

Then I become an old lady and I die?

You don't need to worry about such matters

It's alright, for the time being we don't die

We'll be fine you don't need to worry

Rin ... Grandpa

What do you remember of him?

Quite a lot

Grandpa would wake up and half-naked start rubbing his body

And then he would sit like this cave in his belly and do that

.. Do like that and then take a pose, this pose

Like this?

Another one, he would hate opening the wrapping of an onigiri

Although you have the little arrows showing how to unwrap it

And so he would have to eat little pieces of plastic with his onigiri

Another one, with the caramel wrapping he would make a boat

Then we put them on water and blowing fuuuuu, his boat would go far

And inside the house he would run like this

Inside the house?

And while he was running he would break winds like pttt, pttt

Run and run and ptt-ptt run and run and ptt-ptt

Grandpa, where is he now?

In his grave

... And ... Here

As long as you remember him

Grandpa will stay a loooong time with you

He looks at you with care

I hope I remember

You won't forget

Run and run and ptt-ptt run and run and ptt-ptt

Should we water the bluebell?

What does Grandpa say about it?

He said "fine"

Daikichi, ... Here

What if I made a grave for Grandpa a private one for me?

It would be yours and mine

Alright

Grandpa

It's getting cold time to go

I am switching off

I hate the dark

You'll be fine open your eyes

It's beautiful

With them you can't be scared

Nighty night

Good night

Thank you

Finished

This is Daikichi and this Daddy

Daddy and Daikichi are the same person

Not at all

It's alright when a man can't cook

Why?

Daddy said so

Rin, are you ready?

Hey?

Sorry kouki

Hey, wouldn't you be Miss Rin?

You ... You ...

Shake my hand, you are the first friend of Kouki's

Shake my hand

You are a model in magazines

Gimme a minute

Fever, she has a fever

You, wait ... You know a doctor?

No

Come with me

Quick

Open your mouth wide, aaaahhh

Excellent

Aaaaahhh, a little longer

It was not the flue

I am relieved

How do you feel, Rin?

We always go to that doctor

Walk on your own legs

Alright

I didn't notice Rin had such a fever

Maybe she already had it in the morning

Your being flustered doesn't help

In such situation the parent should be reassuring

Tell her everything will be alright

Be strong Daikichi

Hey, mr. Daikichi!

Daikichi!

Good morning

You are OK?

Rin did not even drink water

Rin, are you hot?

You are hot?

When the fever stops rising better not warm her up

I am sorry, Rin

There

Ice cube

Good?

Feels good

You are alright?

Don't come here you'll catch it

Tss!

Thank you very much

I had no idea what to do, your help is precious

The fact is, I am not her father or anything

I am only family

To be correct, I am kinda her nephew

Earlier, Rin was holding on to you

Kids know who is good to them

To Rin, you are that person you are Daikichi!

For now, to her, as long as you are around, all is fine

Excuse me for a while

Sorry, I have to take the day off

Yes, it's alright

I am sorry

Good morning

Rin, he came to get you

Alright

Sorry I kept you waiting Kouki

I missed you

- Paper - stone - scissor

Let's run, let's run

Rin!

Kouki

Let's run

Daikichi help me

Who's the wolf now? .... It's you!

Don't run in the stairs

Be careful Wait, it's dangerous

Wait!

Rin

Hey, daikichi!

Ah, Uncle, hi!

Ah, isn't it incredible I just met someone by chance

In any case it's incredible

I'll tell you in detail at Grandpa's

Tomorrow, right after noon, i'll be waiting

You wanna spin more?

Sorry

Don't run

Hey there, it's dangerous

Aaaah! Daikichi Daikichi you are on time

Mrs. Sugiyama, come

This is Mrs. Yumiko Sugiyama

Hello! Hello! I am Mrs. Sugiyama

I met her by chance

You can tell her anything

Talk with her even in details about the kid

The address, all kinds of data

Your having problems

I have no problems at all

Surely you do

The foster child, the nursing school

Young folks, they can't do things right

It's not that easy to deal with a kid

What are you doing?

You can tell me anything

As I said we are fine

Daikichi don't take it so seriously

We are fine thank you

Daikichi!

Whatever happens you can call me

So then, i'll be on my way

Could you walk me to the station?

Thank you very much

Daily life must be hard

Not at all

You stopped your work

She is going to nursing school

At that age she needs care

Rin is a good kid

So, she is probably taken care of

You have a girlfriend?

Handsome as you are!

For now you're fine but when a girlfriend comes

When you go on a first date with a kid on your arms

Even with a 6yo girl the girlfriend would get jealous

You'll think of Rin as a burden

What are you leading to?

I am telling you it's not easy you don't improvise fatherhood

There will occasions for rebellion disease, lies, hurting you

After all someone would take your place

You just decided to pick up a responsibility dropped by someone else

You are seriously up to it?

How long you think you can keep up that kind of care

I have no idea but what is your business?

When she becomes a burden

Don't be ashamed bring her to us

We'll take good care of her

A modem?

Daikichi

What?

I'd like to dress my hair to look like a rabbit

Like a rabbit? They don't have hair on their head

Part it on the side?

I'd like to look like a rabbit

Rin?

At Grandpa's place ... there was a computer?

You know what a computer is?

Yes, I do

There was one and he was using it

The maid mostly used it

So he had a maid

Masako the maid

Tell me

What kind of person was Masako?

She didn't like me

She was scaring me always mad at me

I am telling you I don't like Masako

I see

OK, what do you think?

What is that?

What is it? What kind of dance?

We'll have a performance it's a private rehearsal

What, a performance?

That's why you can't see it

Health handbook, child's growth record

What's that?

Maron Seienji, Manga author real name: Masako Yoshii

Dam, find her in such a place Masako

I am gonna send her a mail

You'll have it

I have Rin Kaga's in legal custody

My name is Daikichi Kawachi

Are you Masako Yoshii Rin's mother?

Done!

Of all places!

I am, but then again ... So what?

You're getting on my nerves

Don't mess with me you bitch!

We need to talk

Of course, I'm not bringing you Rin

I need to write my phone number

Such cheek!

Hi, Kawachi speaking

Pleased to meet you

If you tell me where i'll give you a visit

Yes ... Yes ... I got it

I got it ... 4pm ... Sorry for the inconvenience

I'm so mad

There's so much grass growing, see?

What could it be, growing so thick

Hi there!

Rin ... Welcome

Hi!

Rin, why are you hiding

Hello!

Wow! That train was packed with parents and kids

Daikichi what are you doing here?

Hi ... How about greeting people?

Give her a break

Kazumi!

What a bother

I won't be long i'll back for you in no time

Be nice with your family

Kazumi, I count on you

Whatever

She'll be alright

Masako bitch I'm coming for you

So you're a Manga artist?

Did you leave Rin because of your job?

I don't consider myself her mother simply I got pregnant

I couldn't sell my art I worked as a maid there I met Mr. Souichi

At last when I got a good job I realized I was pregnant

I thought I couldn't raise a child

The pregnancy in fact was so hard

When Rin was born I found her unbelievably cute and adorable

"Unbelievably"?

I told myself I can't be a mother

But I tried to harmonize both aspects of my life

But it is so hard to lead one's life

I also have to get out evenings for business meetings

It is practically unfeasible

Well...

You have no problem at all with me taking care of Rin?

None

Exactly, how do you feel toward Rin?

She's doesn't seem important to you?

Here is your coffee

Thank you

I don't know

Now this is serious, I'm really her guardian

She's messing with me!

No motherly feeling, no sense of guilt, that bitch!

Excuse me!

I want to ask you something

It's better if she used your family name

My family name?

If she bears a different name she'll be bothered

Please

What's she thinking of ... Rin is so sad ... Smiling face

... 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

One, two, one, two, one, two,

Daikichi you're back!

Rin's performance ...

Shhhhh!

It's better if Daikichi doesn't know

Blissful ignorance

Ah Rin, your hair

Rin said she wants to look like a rabbit

Wow! Where did you get this?

It was Aunt Kazumi's

What do you think of this Rin? a woven fabric

It's cute

Isn't this exactly your size?

I was worried at first but it all went fine

Ain't that right

Tell me Daikichi, you got transferred because of Rin?

Yep

Your mother was worried

You're still thinking of what your mother said?

How many sacrifices I did nobody knows

You are so sharp in unexpected ways

There's too many unexpected problems

If I had the guts like you

I wouldn't have left your mother in such a fix

When you were born your mother kept her job

Mom was working?

She was dedicated to her job

At that time in a private business

Taking up the challenge of pregnancy and birth giving

Then she got pregnant with Kazumi still she kept her job

She exhausted her strength had to be hospitalized

She healed and got back to work

Someone else had taken her place

Her mind and body didn't take it too well

Kazumi as a baby, unlike you was soooo puny

When I remember it that one who took days off

Would come back home soon was always your mother

You're fantastic!

So then, what happened with Kazumi?

In every possible way she gave her importance and priority

So that she became that arrogant brat you know

Doing like thaaaaat, and thiiiiiiis looking better like this

Exactly, you look good that way

Dad?

What if I adopted Rin?

Is that what the other one said

For school and else it would look better if she had my name

To offer her Kawachi family name

An adoption

How does that look like?

Her feelings are what matters most

Did it ... Did it!

So how was it, Rin?

Say something

Is it OK if I visit again?

We'll be waiting for you anytime

Rin?

Would you become Rin "Kawachi"?

Rin Kaga or Rin Kawachi?

What does that mean?

I would then become your father

Hmmm, I don't think so

I'd rather be Rin Kaga

Really

You're fine as "Daikichi"

Mr. Daikichi good morning!

Let's go

Good morning ... Something's the matter?

I'm fine

Good morning

At your drawings

You seem to have fun with this

With my Mom and my Dad I went to the bowling

It was fun?

Yes it was

Draw both your father and your mother

When you're finished you show me

Until what time did you talk?

Until 2

Until 2? So much time

Mrs. Gotoh, over here

What is it?

What are you doing on the phone?

I going right now

Rin has run out!

He says Rin ran out

Rin ... Rin

Rin

I got it

I'm looking for a lost kid

A girl, 6 years old hair on the shoulder

She's wearing a T-shirt and short pants

Rin

Is this the meeting place?

Maybe here, or over there

I thought it would be close to here

Hi!

What's wrong?

What rin?

Where is she?

How should I know check her mother's place

Damn!

From here it's straight ahead

Fine

Rin is not with you?

Sorry, I'm working now maybe in 2 hours

Rin, what are you?

Daikichi just go back to your place

Rin could go back there

What can I do?

What do I do if he dies?

He's alright you'll be fine

My father died

You said he was working far away

This is what my mother says but I know he's dead

Mom comes here sometime she laughs, but in fact she cries

I know it

Dead people are put in graves

May father too is in a grave

Your father is Daikichi

No, my father was an older man

So this is where my father lies

He won't wake up anymore

He won't wake up I won't meet him

We say goodbye

Daddy, daddy, daddy!

Daddy I miss you so much, Daddy!

Daddy, daddy!

Grandpa!

- Daddy! - grandpa!

I miss you Daddy

Rin!

Kouki, where have you been?

On my father's grave

I said goodbye to Daddy

Kouki, Kouki, I'm sorry

I'm so sorry

Kouki, it's beautiful what you did

I'm sorry

Rin, I was worried

Everybody was looking for you

They're both safe they came back

They're both safe they came back safe

Kouki

Please don't wake him

Sorry for what happened today Kouki lead Rin away

Really, if something had happened

They're safe

They sleep tight

They're growing so fast

It's true

Ah, sorry about that

They're both growing so fast body and mind

I can't keep up with his pace

While we were both waiting I remembered

When his father died how Kouki was

I was upset all day, scolding him stunned all day, not uttering a word

I couldn't wake up we were late at the nursing school

I was so miserable

Kouki ended up hating me that's why he ran away

I was scolding him about trifles then feeling so bad about myself

Kouki has no one else but me

So distressed I was becoming useless

I was scared out of my wits

When I heard she's run my knees were trembling

I thought, as I become a parent I'd get tougher

But it's not the case i've turned into a coward

I asked my work mates I called my father

I realized for the first time I couldn't cope on my own

Mustering one's own strength still it won't be enough

Feeling so small and powerless naturally you're upset

Look at me offering wisdom

Not at all, it strikes home

Yet, I completely lost my self-confidence

There is no reason for that you raised a beautiful child

And so did you

Prince Kamakiri thank you for your help

Are we there yet?

It's so dark it's creepy

The storm is coming

Lightning!

I'm tired let's go back

Am the one holding the scythe of the magician

You must split the Akabana rock or the forest will wither

Beware of that cliff!

Surely, there is a risk that it will crumble

No way, if you don't help me

Aren't you scared?

In fact, I'm scared

So let's go back

But sometimes a man has to overcome his fears

Courage is not for oneself but for everyone

Let's all gather our strength and take courage

Left, right, left, right, left, right ...

I'm Prince Kamakiri I came for the rescue

Thank you

Your courage saved the forest

This is great all come now!

Daikichi!

Ouch! Ouch!

Kouki stop this!

Prince kamakiri

Thank you for the other day

You're most welcome

What does she mean?

It's private, right? What does she mean?

It's private, right?

We'll play again

What does she mean?

Kids are great how about getting married?

What are you blabbering about?!

Good morning

Good morning

What's for breakfast?

I don't know if Rin's heart has healed

But certainly Rin healed me

Ok then

Have a good day

Every morning I see Rin happy, running away from me

That extra day is here offered to us

When she sleeps by my side I'm grateful she's safely home

Since that day she ran away with Kouki and came back

She stopped wetting her bed

Good morning

Daikichi

Good morning

At some point we all grow fall in love

Get married, give birth and become parents

And kids in their turn become parents from this angle

As far as I can see the world is all fathers and mothers

Isn't it like big waves of love

You're weird, how old is Shiroko

Here too we have doting parents

Daikichi what do you think which one is cuter?

Ain't that a good thing
