This is honestly quite a unique anime. Daikichi actually makes contact with Rin’s mother and rather than the expected refusal to meet, she happily agrees.

Last episode on Usagi Drop,  Daikichi decided to call up Rin’s mother and, I dunno, chat with her?  I am not seeing how this will possibly end well.  I mean, best case scenario, she is like “yeah I took off because I wanted to enjoy my youth, have fun raising my child! toodles”.  And then [...]
