It sounds weird when I say "Thanks, Shitty Snipers!"
But yeah, that.
And what @Deoxyribo9 said. Sheesh, what were people expecting to happen?
Really, there's no excuse for crying Usagi Drop -- the guy was not in loco parentis to her, she was incredibly freaking explicit throughout about her romantic ambitions and it was extremely obvious that her will was an unstoppable force of nature. Situation was just not comparable.

Thank you very much for completing the series Shitty Snipers! Haha lovely ending
*useless rant ensues*
HAHAHA how many time should I see "Usagi Drop ending" comment in this kind of story. Ever since Usagi Drop ended, every effin' age gap when the man knows the girl from kid there are people forcing fatherhood-route eventho from the start it is hinted it won't go that way. AND HERE!? Seriously did people who think so just read description then read last chapter? Do people really cannot see the difference between these kind of series and Usagi Drop oh mother of cow in heaven. If this kind of series ended with them being parent-kid, THAT'S when you say "OMGGG it went Usagi Drop", cuz it betrays (if this even the correct word) the whole premise planted in all previous chapters and thinking taking 180 degree turn in the ending is a brilliant idea.

Let me join the chorus: There is no1 parallel to Usagi Drop here. And, let me tell you, Usagi Drop's sins are not just one or two either. There are many, and they come all at once, having the ultimate result of reading like a hastily and badly written fanfic that was somehow adorned with Unita Yumi's drawings.
1 Well, almost none. See below, in the spoiler.
So don't tell me that Dangan Honey "went Usagi Drop". I'd give it a 5% similarity at most.

Let me begin, then. To clarify, the whole "adult man ends up in a romantic relationship with a girl he's known since she was a child" won't even be addressed; I maintain that it can be done well, and is therefore not a sin. (Case in point: Dangan Honey.) No, there are much more important things to discuss. Such as:
[ol]
[*] Firstly, there's the fact that that many people (myself included) were shipping Rin with Kouki and his mum with Daikichi. But who cares, that's easily forgivable.
[*] Then there is the time-skip itself. I remember reading and thinking "Wait, did I miss a few dozen chapters or something?! What happened?!". There is no introduction to it, nothing to let the reader know he hasn't missed something. Still, this too can be forgiven.
(If there is one faint parallel one could draw with Dangan Honey it's this one, because the time-skip was abrupt and had no fore-shadowing from previous chapters. But here it was at the very least passable, because its introduction let us know what was going on.)
[*] There's the fact that Daikichi was acting as Rin's parent and guardian for all those years. This ups the creepiness quite a bit. But we're still within the forgivable zone as far as I'm concerned; at its fringes, but still within it.
[*] There's the fact that the narrative had established several things from the beginning, only to awkwardly throw them out the window when it became suitable. No prior fore-shadowing, no doubts expressed at the beginning, nothing. Just "Everything you know is wrong". This is very hard to forgive, but a manga that was otherwise amazing could have saved it. Maybe.
[*] And lastly, there's the absolute most unforgivable thing about Usagi Drop: It retro-actively turned the entire pre-timeskip arc non-wholesome. See, the original premise was "This girl is family, and someone should take care of her. Daikichi manned up when no-one else would." Post-timeskip, the premise magically becomes "Guy gets suckered into caring for his grand-dad's mistress's bastard and remains single into his forties as a result." This cannot be forgiven.
