REVIEW: Bunny Drop GN 4

Is this a joke

Also, there is a decent amount of foreshadowing to the end of the series as early as the 2nd or 3rd volume of the manga. It's just something that I'm sure a lot of people either don't, or refuse, to notice.

Let's just be thankful it did not glorify lolicon. The ending may be strange and upsetting, but at least the actions depicted were not illegal or immoral.

But by the same token, just because some people want to read the whole series doesn't meant they should ruin for everyone who wants to have no bar of where the series ends up at.

Why should people have to use white-out and pretend that the story ends here? Why doesn't the company - in this case Yen Press - just not release the other chapters and end the story on a high note?

Probably my expectations are far worse than reality, but i don't want to destroy this wonderful story for me...so i guess i'll end it with vol.4

Also, I like the use of the series' tagline in the last sentence.

I did look up the ending, in self-defense, really. It is distasteful to Western audiences but in keeping with a lot of classic Japanese literature, including The Tale of Genji. That doesn't make it better for us, and I'm not saying that just because it has literary precedent we shouldn't express our collective disgust, but it isn't totally out of the blue.

But calling for Yen Press to stop the series before it gets to the point where it disgusts you or makes you uncomfortable is a bit over the top. Warn people, yes. But let everyone make their own decisions.

If I remember correctly, either the French or the German licensee had cancelled Narutaru due to disturbing contents in later volumes; even Dark Horse Comics stopped at volume 7 at the end of 2005, with no sign of rescue.

And how can we forget the manga cancelled because of this very forum?

That's what worries me. Luckily, it's available in French.

A forty-year-old had a high-school age wife? And who knows if they stayed chaste in the three years beforehand. Well, I suppose he's living the dream. Lucky bastard.

I have a mate who is fifty-six and has a two-year-old son with his twenty-nine year-old partner. I'm not opposed to 'May-December' relationships, as long as both partners are equal.

The problem with Usagi Drop's ending is that the two are not equal. This is where I draw the line between unusual but acceptable relationships and those that are just plain creepy and morally wrong. That's my personal opinion, but given the outrage and outright disgust in some sectors I'm hardly alone in my views.

Rin's feelings are irrelevant, spoiler[Daikichi should not even contemplate having an 'adult' relationship with her, no matter how related (or rather, unrelated) the two may be.] It's that simple.

Daikichi spoiler[should not have even given her the two years cooling down period, instead he should have shut down her fantasy right then and there.]
