Their meeting was pure chance. Remember him and the other vampire chose the first person that they saw. He just happened to find a young child scrounging for food. Ye it's tragic what the girl is going through but their meeting is more of fate then purposely choosing her. Vampire is taking advantage of the situationGoddamn! What about the fucking child! Every comment is hahah Grooming!!!! Look at the child's life. 9 years old. Her mother has abandoned her, no friends or family, unable to take a bath and scrounging for scraps. She was going to die. Her self esteem is so low she wants to be food for a vampire, thinking she can do nothing else to repay the kindness.
It is sick and twisted that the vampire is taking advantage of it. There is no feel good here, nothing funny or to laugh at or go ohhh sexual innuendo. It's just tragic.
I feel like people that cling to Usagi Drop to call out other series that kind of touches on the same~ish topic are just looking for attention from others, I've seen it before on UchiMusu and Happy Sugar Life.All these people screaming "Usagi Drop", "Usagi Drop", don't seem to understand exactly WHAT was it that made the series so infamous in the first place, all they remember is a child falling in love with their caretaker.
Well people get all icky when a child falls in love with an older person especially if the child is in love with their caretaker. I understand the reasoning but at the same time I personally don't care cuz it's a story at the end of the day.I feel like people that cling to Usagi Drop to call out other series that kind of touches on the same~ish topic are just looking for attention from others, I've seen it before on UchiMusu and Happy Sugar Life.
Like I know people are weirded out by the situation but at the same time it's like they are completely ignoring the other side of the situation where if the child is just left alone and would just die... or much worse(especially in this and the 2 other titles I've mentioned).
The problem with Usagi Drop was that for about 80-90% of the manga it was a nice slice-of-life series with the old guy and the girl acting clearly like father and daughter, with absolutely no romantic feelings whatsoever nor any kind of intention of getting together...Well people get all icky when a child falls in love with an older person especially if the child is in love with their caretaker.

It's more moral grandstanding while ignoring the kid's situation.
Also in Usagi Drop is that even grooming? Like did he raise her with the intention of marrying her or raising her to his liking?
yep, I thought he is woman before.yall focusing on different things than me, I guess. had 0 fuckin clue that vampire was a guy.
This is why I understand why people have this inherent hate about Usagi Drop... What I absolutely get annoyed with however is whenever a story is actually explicit that there is a one-sided romantic feeling from the child and people just slap Usagi Drop as an "insult" to said story.The problem with Usagi Drop was that for about 80-90% of the manga it was a nice slice-of-life series with the old guy and the girl acting clearly like father and daughter, with absolutely no romantic feelings whatsoever nor any kind of intention of getting together...
...just for the author to suddenly do a shocking swerve and asspull that the girl instantly, and without any kind of indication, wanted to get romantically involved with his parental figure, and the guy was okay with that.
THAT was why it was so shocking and upsetting.
Pretty sure most stories that involve adoptive parent x adopted child romance most of the time never really have the parent side adopt with "ill intentions" aside from some outright r18 ones... more often than not we have the same situation as in this manga where the adopted child falls for the one that adopted them.Also in Usagi Drop is that even grooming?

I agree and also agree with your other statement. It is just twisted romance. Granted here in this story it's grooming but for food sense not sexual.Pretty sure most stories that involve adoptive parent x adopted child romance most of the time never really have the parent side adopt with "ill intentions" aside from some outright r18 ones... more often than not we have the same situation as in this manga where the adopted child falls for the one that adopted them.
