SOME RULES -Follow the forum rules -Mark anything that's NSFW with a warning if you are linking directly to it, or consider using a neutral, SFW information page like myanimelist or mangaupdates for manga with NSFW content. -Support the official release! If a property has been licensed please use something like mangaupdates or the publisher's page for info links rather than linking to scans. -Spoiler policy: Be considerate of other readers and if a chapter has just come out, use spoiler tags for plot stuff or any big surprises. Likewise, if talking about an anime please don't reveal plot details from the manga before the show gets to them.

PotU posted:usagi drop, yo Should we have a public service annoucement to like, not read the end of this one? I didn't put it in the OP deliberately so as to not get into that, but Usagi Drop is both a good and a terrible dad manga and I didn't know how much everyone wanted to delve into that. The anime is cute at least.

Yeah but none of that poo poo is in the entire first half (nor most of the second) it's a wonderful story of a family forming out of some unusual circumstances. Thankfully the anime is literally just the first half and you can completely ignore that the author lost her drat mind.

I'm still mad about Bunny Drop. idgaf tho. The anime is crazy good.

Yeah the anime is totally worth watching and you're getting the best part of the story that way. Probably instead of "don't read ever" maybe "read at your own risk" but whatever. I never finished it myself; at the time I was reading it, it was still being released and I stopped following it somewhere midway so I never went very far into the part after the timeskip.

Despite the emote I get the feeling that the anime ending right before the timeskip was deliberate. It's the weirdest thing, since the entire rest of the manga doesn't seem to be aimed at...that sort of crowd.
