But the bachelor lifestyle is soon to change when young Yuzuyu enters the picture. This five-year-old cutie has been abandoned by her mother, and is to be taken care of by none other than Kippei! Unfortunately for the both of them, Kippei has no experience raising a child, so the learning curve will be quite steep...

add recIf you liked the relationship between Ruu and his "parents" then you'll like the way Kippei learns to be a good parent of his new "daughter."
Daa! Daa! Daa! is a cute and sweet series dealing with issues of how a baby who has been flung across the galaxy could miss his parents, and how his earthling junior high foster parents take care of him.
Aishiteruze Baby is a more serious and grounded family story with a hormonal male teenager who is appointed to take care of a girl who's barely five years old.
Both series are about teenagers growing up by the events brought about by a child unwittingly left to their care. These makeshift families makes for strange ones, but are still family nonetheless. If you like kids and the slice-of life genre with a little bit of romance, you'd surely enjoy these.

Hime-chan no Ribbon
Hime-chan was a normal girl who had all the troubles of that age. Even though she had a tomboy nature, she envied her older sister's beauty and had a crush on an older boy. She dearly wished, as many do, for something to give her the chance to grant her wishes. Soon, something did. Hime-chan came into possession of a magic ribbon, that gave her the power to change into anyone she wished. With that, she transformed into her sister - but found out a few things that she wasn't prepared for.

add recDaa Daa Daa and Hime-chan's Ribbon both have a blond and whiny protagonist realizing her feelings of love for the one closest to her. I find that both anime go through dilemmas of the same kind, with a side of magic. Almost anything is possible in Hime-chan's Ribbon as well as Daa Daa Daa - this certainly makes things fun. I really enjoyed the magic and character aspect in Hime-chan's Ribbon.

add recBoth Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Daa! Daa! Daa! (UFO Baby) are loosely-plotted supernatural anime. Both of them consist of daily school life, a slow romance, and oppressive female and calm male leads which brings me to think that if you liked DDD you'd love ZHnY (and vice versa).
