-->DAD MANGA MEGATHREAD<-- Single dads, married dads, gay dads, cooking dads, badass dads -- post about your favorite dad manga here. Good moms are also acceptable, as are surrogate dad-like figures like teachers or big brothers. As long as it's got some good family feelings it probably fits here. Manga is the thread focus but anime is also allowed, especially if it's an adaption of a manga that's been posted about! 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. Overall just try to use good judgement and don't be an rear end in a top hat about it. DAD THREAD GREATEST HITS Not sure where to get started?

If you check out the manga, read past the time skip at your own risk: After the time skip, the story becomes a romance between Rin and Daikichi.

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 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.

Nondevor posted:e: also if it's okay to include manhwa on the list, The Children's Teacher Mr. Kwon is about a yakuza becoming an elementary school teacher out in the rural countryside. Batoto stopped carrying it, but you can probably find it on kissmanga or other sites. Seemed like it was almost over as of the last update I read but it's been a while since the last one. I'm worried about Mr. Kwon. I think the dog was going to be OK though.

Eh let's not do the Usagi Drop conversation again. I think everybody probably ends up with the same trauma and it feels good to share butDavincie posted:we said don't read it for a reason Unrelated to that: I"m slowly reading Father & Son, taking my time because CR's manga updates are slow as Christmas and I don't want to run out too quickly. It's cute but the thing with the wife is a little too goofy. I had initially wondered if the gag was covering up her abandoning them, like there might be a kernel of tragedy in the joke but nope, she's just THAT lost.

Flat Heisuke is a young man who was left in charge of taking care of his little cousin Aki for a day. Being an only child who usually stays at home alone, Aki is quiet, reserved, and will go out of his way not to make trouble for others. As they spend more time together, Aki begins to grow very attached to Heisuke, especially since Heisuke's hobby is to make sweets and desserts. The quiet Aki eventually opens up to Heisuke, and Heisuke in return teaches Aki that sometimes it's all right to be selfish and say what you really want to do. I forgot I'd even followed this one and had never even read any of it, but noticed today a new chapter came out. It's more in the brotherly caretaker/older kid watches younger kid category but is worth a mention. Heisuke is amazingly dense and oblivious so a lot of the plot so far (I've only read the first volume at this time) has been around him saying or doing something thoughtlessly and then having to deal with the fallout, mostly to Aki but also to his friends at school. I think it improves as more of his family gets introduced as well; the scenes with Aki's parents at home with Aki are good stuff. Seems this was a debut manga and the author only has one other (newer) series that's currently untranslated. This one is complete at 8 volumes but only half so far is translated. Nice that a new group picked it up and will hopefully continue it.

A new one for the male lead + childcare pile King of Childcare The story follows Iku Fukuda, who likes working with kids, so he gets a job at a day care center. When he realizes there's a gap between his expectations and reality, he quits after 2 months. But Fukuda doesn't give up on his love of working with kids. Just one chapter so far but it was a pretty good starting chapter. It's by the same person who wrote Gingitsune which I haven't read but thought was pretty well-received?

Yeah it's really good. I'd been kinda bouncing around the idea of mentioning it in here but kinda left it for someone else to decide so thanks  Seems to be pretty short and getting updated regularly so it probably won't be long before it's all out, if anyone is on the fence about checking it out.
