Kathryn Hemmann writes about Bunny Drop, realism, "literature," and feminism. Great essay but I think that she gives waaaaaaaaay to much leeway to Bunny Drop's ending (which, BTW, is NOT spoiled in the essay, in case you're concerned about that sort of thing).

That's a good essay, although I kind of have trouble taking seriously her claims that Bunny Drop is thoughtful realistic literature when I know how it ends. Granted I haven't read the manga, but if you're going to write a down-to-earth realistic story about adoptive child-rearing, doesn't it kind of torpedo all of the realism and depth when your ending is... that?

And lol Transformers movies. I have long since stopped trying to comprehend why those pieces of crap make so much money. Wtf humanity.
