Picking up both of these in a heartbeat, any expected time frame for either to come out?
Not yet. I'd expect them around the middle of next year.

Usagi Drop 54-55
The father complex for Daikichi wasn't odd, but the story suddenly pushing for it as a possibility (just because they're not related after all, as if that was the issue) and Daikichi telling her to wait two years is an awful direction to take.
I was expecting him to tell her that he was still her dad, not to feed into her unhealthy delusions.

I know? Isn't it great! One of the weirdest turns I've ever seen in a manga and it almost retroactively ruins this really cute series for me if it wasn't such a ridiculous a turn to take.

Yeah, Soma's got this. After everything that happened, he had to win this anyway.
But more importantly, I want that suit that Nakiri has. I mean not only did it explode off his body, but its back together in the next panel, only to come off again later.

Usagi Drop
We see his social life changing, unable to meet with his coworkers after work, he finds himself seeing his social cycle replaced by other parents (such as the mother of Kouki, Rin's best friend, with whom he gets romantically interested), and through all of this he grows as a person.
Half way through the series there's a timeskip, and the story focused on Rin and Kouki teenager years, to be honest this is when the series becomes a lot less interesting, this is hardly an unusual subject in manga/anime, and even though there are still some interesting themes regarding the lack of two parents (such as Kouki mother complex), a lot of the time is spent on regular teenagers drama that you could find in any other mangas.
Towards the end there's a reveal of Rin having a father complex for Daikichi, which is understandable considering their relationship. But then we get the twist that Rin and Daikichi are unrelated (this never gets explained), and somehow this lead Daikichi to accept Rin feelings and the series ends with them being engaged and talking about having babies together.
There were never any hints of Daikichi having romantic feelings for Rin, we always see him referring to her as his daughter, so not only is the ending disgusting, it's not even built up in any way and comes off as completely out of character. The ending has absolutely no redeeming qualities, outside of seeing other people react to it.
I could not even bring myself to read any of the "extra stories" that involved Rin as a child. I only managed to read the last extra chapter that takes place after the ending, only to find out that everyone seems to have just naturally accepted Daikichi being engaged with Rin.
The fact that the ending tries to normalize grooming makes this one of the most disgusting manga I've read.
What started as a cute series about someone learning to become an adult, somehow ends up as a grooming story.
At the age of 30 Daikichi finds himself forced to adopt a young child of a mere 6 years old, Rin, left behind by his grandfather death.
The story follows the growth of both characters, but mostly that of Daikichi and how he has to how to adapt his life to the fact that he was now a parent.

This happens despite the fact that them not being blood-related is completely irrelevant, he raised her as a father for over 10 years, she barely remembers a life before him. This is essentially Daikichi dating his own daughter.??????? said:

With the direction it goes in, I have to wonder if the ending of Usagi Drop reflects the author's own personal romantic fantasies.

Anytime I read a series about raising a adopted daughter, I fear that it will turn into a grooming scenario. Seriously who the fuck okays that shit?

For the sake of discussion, I did actually really like the teenage bits. I think there is an appeal in watching child characters grow up and eventually deal with more adult problems. That's part of the reason I really like Pun Pun, and I do think just the fact we saw them as kids does give the teenage bits a serious edge. Also I feel like calling it "grooming" gives it a lot more credit and forethought to, what I still consider, a really bizarre end. After the other kid's big arc which feels like it should be the end, this shit comes up and, I don't know about you, but it feels so out of nowhere I almost feel like it has to be a joke or at least a "fuck you" for reading?

Usagi Drop is like a bad embarrassing memory from your childhood.
It keeps coming back to you no matter how hard you try to forget.

That explains everything. Or at least it would if it were actually true. I think adding 'don't talk to anyone about anything because they may be the princess in disguise' to the survival guide might be overkill.

It's very nice that you're friends with Mimika. Very nice. Very. Nice. On this day, war was declared. Only 1 can survive, and until the title gets changed to 'Shiori-san' I know who I'm betting on.

Author was a female right?
Part of me think she's catering to that crowd in Japan.

Or that she suffered from a father complex and was using the series for her own wish fufillment.

She's saving your life every chapter, you should probably be more grateful dude. Especially if you're facing death by tentacles of the non-sexy variety. I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

Seconded. Held off on Dungeon Meshi until now and will probably start the series with the official volumes then. Same for My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, which seems really interesting from the impressions in this thread.

The teenage years weren't too bad, but to me this manga, up to that point, wasn't about Rin, but really about Daikichi, unlike Punpun where it was always about him. It was an odd change of pacing.
It did come out of nowhere, but it makes their entire relationship toxic in hindsight. Daikichi accepting to date Rin puts his entire relationship with Rin in a very bad light.
I'm tempted to go with this as well, considering this is a Shojo I'm not sure the author was really catering to anyone but herself.

Now you know our PAIN!
Honestly, Usagi Drop ending is one good example on how to ruin a series. The story post timeskip is already weak, but then author just had to ruin it!

Oh boy! Usagi Drop reactions! This is fun. I remember reading it and basically pretending the end didn't exist all those years ago.

Alright Jun, you're starting to piss me off. You've shown in a number of chapters that you're not THAT fucking obtuse and are purposefully lying to yourself and keeping yourself in a situation you know isn't real anymore and your big solution to all this is 'IF I IGNORE IT AND PRETEND SHE'S A GUY THEN EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY FINE' so that you're THAT fucking stupid to try and remove her fucking hoodie? What did you fucking think would happen you stupid git? She has breasts did you think they stopped existing because you wanted it hard enough? FUCK
Also something something Carol something something fluffernutter sandwich,
You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead 4
This manga is way more violent than I thought it would be like...after the first chapter. Not complaining, I've read Drifting Classroom, but still seeing bad shit happen to kids this starkly is unusual nowadays. I do like the atmosphere a lot though, I think it gets horror right when a lot of manga nowadays don't really get how to be disturbing or creepy, just violent or gross. Even if this manga can get violent and gross too. Hayakawa glitching out is a new wrinkle.
Also Class Pres living this long is super surprising since she's a total bitch and keeps getting them into trouble. This chapter in particular was cool because it was almost like an SCP entry where folklore had ties to something that was actually supernatural or freaky and oh god they're getting their guys ripped out through their asses oh jesus

Okay, let's give this a shot
Uwakoi 1
Why are the main character named after future diary character? Okay... this is kinda lewd
I'm usually not a believer of the "It was so bad it retroactively ruined the rest of the series/franchise" line of thought, but Usagi Drop ending actually managed to accomplish that.

Destructive personality? Well. Can't see how this ends up being a comedy that will kill you with laughters, but I'm gonna have a closer look.

I think I was mislead. The only way this can end with me laughing is a nice boat ending.
The art isn't all that great either.

Wait, this might actually get fun.

Oh my. If they just played it for indecisiveness I would be annoyed, but this is straight up honest cheating, lying and sociopathic love triangulating.
And all three are mentally broken it seems.
Great.

What's this? A manga by Adachi that's about an idol rather than a kid wanting to play baseball?
I have to check this!
...
I should had seen this coming.
It's about an idol that switches places with her male friend (which looks exactly like her) so she can play Baseball.
I suppose at least it's not following the same plot line as Touch.
