Daddy Long Legs (Katsuta Bun)

There are many manga series inspired by Daddy Long Legs, but it's the first time I see an actual adaptation (aside from the anime by WMT, but they aged down the heroine and I'm too used to her being a collage girl) - and it's great! Aside from the setting, it's very faithful to the original (of course, some things had to be skipped, but it was unavoidable) and not just in the plot, but in the atmosphere, too! I'm also very happy the author decided to show "Daddy" 's perspective, too, after all, his identity is pretty obvious and nothing is lost by revealing it right at the beginning. The art is nice and fits the story well. I mentioned the setting - I think changing it was a very good idea, it gives everything an original flavour. You can really see that the author loves the novel - and so do I, so I'm obviously very biased, but I think it's good both as an adaptation and as an independent story.
