For real guys, don't spoil yourself for this series. Otherwise you end up like me, eyeing every development with beady-eyed suspicion. Is this meant to signal the awful thing? Am I supposed to read it as subtext? I refuse! :( It's a shame because without that spoiler lurking in the back of my mind I'd be able to enjoy the story more wholeheartedly. But whatever. The awful thing isn't here yet! This volume features Rin getting curious about her mother and going to meet her. I thought both Rin and Daikichi handled the situation very maturely and I liked that Rin managed to successfully navigate the intensely awkward first meeting with the power of her levelheadedness. I'd be glad to see further developments on that front in the next volume. And none on the future awful thing, kthnx bye. 3 stars

Mrgh. I have a feeling I'm not going to like where this is going...

This took me a while to finish because there was a significant drop in quality. Both the story as well as the translation. I want to finish the story, but I can’t carry on. I will probably skim through the remaining three books.
The anime will always be one of my favourites.

I first started reading Bunny Drop back in 2012 and thought it was really cute, so I bought all the volumes up to 7 (which were all that had been published in English at the time). The story and characters go a bit downhill once Rin reaches her teen years, so I actually only ever read through volume 6, but always kind of meant to go back and continue the series eventually. Cut to years later and I learned about the problematic turn the story takes by the end:
Despite that, I've had fond memories of the first few volumes and still owned volumes 1-7 for almost a decade. I needed to decide whether to keep or unhaul the manga, so I finally re-read and completed the unread portions of the manga, since there's only ten volumes. And yeah, it for sure goes downhill after volume 4, and the uncomfortable topic begins in volume 8. I am sort of glad to finally have finished the series and seen for myself how the story devolves. While I do genuinely still like the beginning of this series, I won't be rating any of them because I don't want to encourage anyone to begin reading without knowing the trajectory the story takes, and I don't really want to further support an author who would write this kind of storyline (I read the last three volumes I didn't already own through online scans).
For new readers, I would definitely suggest stopping either after volume 4 or volume 7. Both of those volumes have decent ending points without any of the weirdness of the final volumes. But also this is one of those cases where you should definitely know spoilers before deciding to start reading.
Spoiler
after being taken in and raised by Daikichi since the age of 6 Rin suddenly discovers that she loves him, and despite his misgivings he agrees to marry her after she graduates high school. While not ~technically~ incest, it's still pretty disturbing since Daikichi was essentially Rin's father for 10+ years, and there's a 25 year age difference between them.Despite that, I've had fond memories of the first few volumes and still owned volumes 1-7 for almost a decade.

Ok, so…. I read some spoilers about Bunny Drop. And now I’m worried. Really worried. I hope everyone’s wrong because I love Bunny Drop and this volume was a good one. But I’m scared what will happen..

Ce tome était moins drôle que les précédents mais on a enfin des réponses sur la maman de Rin et sur ce qu’elle est devenue après toutes ces années. Rin se pose beaucoup de questions sur la signification d’être mère et j’ai donc hâte de lire les prochains tomes pour voir si elle trouve des réponses.

I still like the series, but I'm a little afraid of where it's heading...

I was so engrossed in the story, I completely missed my trolley stop and had to circle back around. One of the best volumes yet.
