RATING: 8/10

REVIEW: 

This review is purely about the anime. Never try to find out what happens in the manga. It would just ruin the anime.

I truly enjoyed watching this anime. It was heartbreaking and adorable. In terms of plot, nothing much happened. You just see Daikichi's bond with Rin grow closer, which is a refreshing thing.  It was very entertaining to watch Daikichi try to raise Rin. The connection that they developed was very sweet. You can see how much they cared for one another. It was also interesting to see other characters interact with Rin and Daikichi. In terms of art, it was simple and refreshing to the eyes.

• I like Daikichi. He was such a selfless and kind person. He took care of Rin even though she wasn't his responsibility. He could have gone on being single, but he tried his best to raise Rin. He made mistakes, but you can see how much he tries to do his best. He truly cared about Rin, and it was wonderful to watch.
• I loved seeing Daikichi's mother. She was kind towards Rin, and it was lovely to see.
• I liked Rin. She was a responsible child. She did her best to try to help Daikichi in household chores. I felt bad for her because she lost Souichi at such a young age, and her mother left her.
• I felt kind of mad at Masako because she abandoned Rin, but she kept her second child. I get that she doesn't have the means to raise Rin, but she could have kept in contact with her.
• I wish that I never found out what happened in the manga. The ending there just seemed so creepy. I read something like this before, but the girl was mostly raised by servants. Here, Daikichi raised Rin on his own, so it seemed weird that they would fall for each other. Maybe if I read the full manga rather than just the ending, I would have been more okay with it. For now, I still wish I never found out the truth.
• The ending I wanted for the manga is for Daikichi to end up with Kouki's mother, Yukari, or for Rin to end up with Kouki. Or both.
