Reviews

A comforting and realistic showcase of the meaning of family, with the merits and challenges of raising a child.

A heartwarming near masterpiece, with an unfortunate catch-22 of an ending.

Usagi Drop is "food for the soul" for any person that wants something warm to watch I highly recommend this!
