any idea if Dragon Daddy pulls an Usagi Drop?

@jampodevral Judging by her other works, I'd hazard a guess that the author would agree with you about that particular trope being, as you said, "ick".

I'm intrigued with the series but I'd like to know (if possible) if it gets gross before I get too invested
Oh, bite your tongue. We don't talk about the time skip in Usagi Drop - LOL
In all seriousness, this is really a super cute story, but it also has some minor similarities to a story about another Olivia: Olivia Waldstorm from Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

@elkensteyin We don't WANT to talk about it. But every time we get a sweet story about a character raising a kid, we now have to ask the question. Because no one wants a betrayal like THAT ever again.

I do find it fascinating how Usagi Drop has apparently traumatized anime/manga fans so deeply.

Not me, I'd be happy to find such stories, but there's a dearth of anything officially licensed. There's For My Daughter obviously. But they weren't related. Or even the same species...
But at least it's a bit better on the manga side, though about only thing officially licensed is Koi Kaze from ages ago. Siscon Ani to Brocon Imouto ga Shoujiki ni Nattara is one of my favorites among never works, it's cute, good art, heart-warming, not too long, ticking all the boxes. Though I really don't expect it to ever get licensed... -

Siscon Ani to Brocon Imouto ga Shoujiki ni Nattara
Siscon Ani to Brocon Imouto ga Shoujiki ni Nattara is kind of different. There are no real surprises there. You go into that manga knowing what you'll get. Even "For My Daughter" was OK, since he's not that much older than her and they are different species and such.
However, Usagi Drop was bad. First, he's much older than her (not a faux pas in and on itself), but it really had no reason to go that route, and in many people's opinion, completely destroyed a great SoL manga.
-
@elkensteyin I always wondered if the author felt pressured to do it for Otaku sales. Because it felt like it came from nowhere.
-
@salientmind if that was the case, then it definitely backfired on him, as s2 of an anime was never green-lit due to the massive backlash.
If Usagi Drop had come after several other similar stories, such as Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai! or OreImo that went to and popularized the incest route, then that would be understandable, but this was a precursor to all of them. So I really have no clue why he made such a blunder.

Since this topic has been addressed, and we are starting to drift a bit I will go ahead and lock this topic.
If anyone wishes to continue discussing Usagi Drop, feel free to open a new topic.
Thank you
