Daikichi, quarante ans et toujours célibataire, continue d'élever Rin, la fille cachée de son grand-père. A son âge, il n'espère plus vraiment trouver la femme de sa vie, mais il ne cesse pas pour autant de s'investir afin d'offrir à Rin un environnement stable et équilibré. Pourtant, à cette période difficile qu'est l'adolescence, Rin, devenue jeune fille, ne risque-t-elle pas de souffrir de l'absence d'une mère ? Un drôle de père est la première série à succès de Yumi Unita, une des auteures issues de la nouvelle vague du manga pour femmes. Elle aborde dans cette oeuvre, avec beaucoup d'humanité, des thèmes aussi fondamentaux que l'amour familial, l'éducation, ou plus généralement la responsabilité individuelle. Face à l'égoïsme de la société, Daikichi fera en effet passer les intérêts de la petite Rin avant les siens. Et si le bonheur passait par le don de soi ?

Un drôle de père

Having lived with his adopted daughter, Rin, for over a year now, Daikichi still considers the female mind to be far beyond his grasp! So when his cousin Haruko shows up on his doorstep with her daughter, Reina, in tow and claims to have "run away," Daikichi is faced with navigating the twists and turns of the female psyche to get to the bottom of Haruko's situation. 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...
