Usagi Drop is an anime about the difficulties of single fatherhood and manga about throwing that all in the trash. As far as I care the only thing that exists is the anime
i didn‘t even know that this story continues and oooh man am i shocked cause as a 30 year old guy back then i could kinda relate to the main guy and i really liked the path he was walking with his adopted daughter and now i have to find out THIS is how it continues? wow! the author must have the biggest fathercomplex ever! Like seriously i am speechless :O
I already hate "not-related by blood tropes" but I can at least look past it when it's just some trashy show only made for clickbait channels and weirdos. But, when you take a wholesome show about a man learning to be a father and a little girl being able to have a normal childhood in a caring household, and then slap the "inseki" tag on it... that's not okay. In fact, that's even worse.
So... I adopted you, grown with you for most of your life. You consider me a father, and I consider you my own daughter... BUT WE ARE NOT RELATED BY BLOOD! As a certain crust hater once wrote: "[...] I'm still 11 though".
I remember there was a popular light novel fantasy series that went through a very similar situation. It was about a tired veteran soldier who finds a young war orphan and decides to adopt her. Very sweet... until the last two volumes, where the girl (now as an adult) confesses her love to her adoptive father and he reciprocates. I can't recall the name of that series, but I remember the HUGE meltdown that erupted because of its ending.
I think that's Violet Evergarden? In the original show, the war veteran was her handler (she was a child supersoldier), but they formed a father-daughter relationship. He died protecting her in the same battle that she lost both of her arms, and she was still in a hospital when the war ended. This is all before the show even starts and is covered in flashbacks, with the actual show following her as she works at the letter-writing (for people who are illiterate or are struggling to get the meaning they want to across) company run by her handler's friend or brother, not sure which, and over the course of the story she integrates into society, mentally develops, recovers from her trauma, learns how normal people work, makes friends, processes her grief for losing her father figure and never getting to have an actual childhood (well, she's 14 so there's some room for childhood development, but not much). It's made blatant that she had feelings for him but him being dead and all means nothing can actually come of that. Plus there's a boy around the same age as her working at the letter company, complete with there being some horny/romantic moments between them, so even though they don't get together within the show it seemed to be implied that they would off-screen later on. So anyway, some more stuff was written about some alternate timeline or whatever (haven't subjected myself to it so unsure of details) where he survived and yep. Yeah. Gross. Turns out the writer behind it tweets things like "love is love, age doesn't matter" There were two pretty big warning signs within the show: - The handler was told he could "have fun" with her by guy-in-charge-of-super-soldier-thingamajig. I thought this was the opposite of a warning sign because he was disgusted by it, y'know a super clear "no that's not what's going on here" by the writer. Turns out many either misinterpreted it or writer did some backtracking. - There's an arc within the story about a 14-year-old princess marrying a prince who's either in his 20s or 30s. It was gross but went over many heads as an average "royalty being royalty" moment... except the part where none of the characters had any problem with this, it was framed as romantic rather than wrong, etc.
It's called: "If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord" The series literally has the word daughter, contemplate about that. Oh yeah, according to usagi drop, that's totally okay, if you are not blood related
Japanese writer challenge: Pass conditions (either is sufficient): - Presence of horny or fetishes isn't present to a degree that drags the story's quality down - Presence of horny or fetishes is present but executed well enough that it elevates the story's quality Difficulty: Extreme, or deliberately failed to appeal to pedos
Weirdly enough, I realized it's a common joke in Japanese media where a little girl character would say that she wants to marry her older relative and they would often just laugh it off. Is it cultural? Is it a common childhood phase for girls in Japan to have a dumb moment like that, and the parents treating it as just a "kids being kids" moment? Like is it the type of childhood story you tell during family gatherings to reminisce and have a good laugh? I just noticed how its a trope that appears way too much as a throw away joke that I can't help to think if its an Anime thing or just straight up a Japanese thing.
Japan has a sort of strange relationship with anything sexual from a western context. It may be a cultural meme, but it doesn't play well over here. That's the only context I have unfortunately
nah its because your suppose to marry the person you love most and usually they would tell that to their dad or something to kinda tell them that they love them the most, i always seen it as a wholesome little thing they do
Sometimes, authors just need to learn how to take the weird fetish spin-offs they get from their ideas and just chuck them into a Google Docs to be shared only with a very select few of similarly fetishy friends and just leave the main story alone. Like, goddamn lady, just because you've got a bad oyaji fetish didn't mean you had to do this to your story.
it's called an 'electra complex' for the girl to like her dad. apparently it's a psychological phenomena that actually happens and all the main points toward the phenomena was first theorized by Carl Jung who also named it that.
The ending to me is one of the most bizarre choice a human being could make for their story. I feel like even if the author made an in depth speech about why they wrote it that way. I still wouldn't understand.
I hate this type of story you just have to ruin all the wholesomeness like come on there doesn't always have to have romance in a slice of life anime did the author really think people we're just gonna let that pass

i want to say violet evergarden but i've not actually read it so... maybe??? I'm really just going off of the "war veteran" and "war orphan" here-
I think that's Violet Evergarden?

"Western" meaning a more euro-american understanding of sexuality

Oh gotcha, I just knew of oedipal complex from the legend

As far as I am concerned, the anime is the definitive version of the story. The manga does not exist. Seriously what was the writer thinking?
“usagi dropping the ball”
That's a good one
I hate this type of story you just have to ruin all the wholesomeness like come on there doesn't always have to have romance in a slice of life anime did the author really think people we're just gonna let that pass
