Trailer - Bunny Drop (Usagi Drop)

The official website for SABU’s Bunny Drop has been updated with a full trailer.

Based on a josei manga series by Yumi Unita, the film stars Kenichi Matsuyama as a 27-year-old office worker and bachelor named Daikichi who notices a little girl named Rin (Mana Ashida) at his grandfather’s funeral. He soon discovers that she’s actually the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather by an unknown mother, and that there’s really no one else around to care for her due to the social stigma attached.

Unwilling to place Rin in care as other family members urge him to, Daikichi instead decides to take on the responsibility of raising her himself. Although Daikichi is a bit clumsy at first due to his inexperience with children, he does the best he can as the unorthodox relationship he has with his 6-year-old half-aunt slowly evolves into one of a father and daughter.

Showgate will be releasing “Bunny Drop” in Japan on August 20, 2011.
