As Rin experiences the ups and downs of being a teenager, she begins to ponder what it means to be family. In her exploration of that question, she takes it upon herself to track down Masako, her birth mother. Masako, now engaged and pregnant, is about to start a new family of her own. But with Masako's feelings of guilt over her treatment of Rin, she can't bring herself to tell Daikichi of the recent developments in her life. So when Rin and Masako end up meeting face-to-face as a result of Rin's legwork, will the mother-daughter relationship that's been all but nonexistent till now end in fireworks?
As Rin and Daikichi embark on a new kind of life together, this collection of vignettes takes a trip down memory lane: Snapshots of Daikichi's chaotic life immediately after taking in Rin, his evolution from bachelor to parent, and his growing understanding of his duties not only to Rin, but also to his parents. Kouki's childhood with Rin, his time as a young delinquent, and the story behind his scar. Masako's struggles with the decision to give up her child, and her fateful meeting with her future husband. Like looking through an old photo album, these unique stories of the unlikely pair of Rin and Daikichi and their friends and family are colored into exquisite detail in this final volume of Bunny Drop!
Ten years have flown by since that fateful day when Daikichi first met Rin at his grandfather's funeral. While Daikichi may be still much the same-though perhaps a bit balder and a few pounds heavier-the wise-beyond-her-years Rin has blossomed into a smart, capable, and well-adjusted teenager. But as the trials and tribulations of high school and adolescence descend in full force upon the pair's cozy household, confusion plagues Rin as her relationship with her childhood friend Kouki begins to change into something different. Will Daikichi, who put his own love life on hold to take care of Rin, actually be able to provide her with the guidance she needs?!

Could Kohane be starting to develop an interest in cosmetics? This "makeup Cinderella love story" is the latest work from Mari Yoshino, author of Peach Heaven!
Reconnecting with her biological mother and her new family has put Rin at peace with her unfortunate beginnings. Now, becoming a big sister is cause for happiness for the levelheaded young woman. But despite this closure, all is not roses. The world around her seems obsessed with romance-Kouki still vies for Rin's affection, Reina jumps between relationships, a classmate shows his interest in Rin herself. Yet for Rin, love isn't turning out quite the way it's supposed to. Trapped between her head and her heart, will Rin be able to sort out her feelings before someone else picks up on them to disastrous effect?

And ultimately, through the perspectives of both Haruko and the other parents he meets through Rin's school, Daikichi gradually begins to comprehend the many meanings of parenthood...
