These dramas follow the journey of a young man who take on the responsibility of raising a toddler on their own. They struggle to find work balance and a proper comprehension of a child's heart and mind. Yet through the ups and downs they persist and grow as loving fathers.

Both series are about a single man bringing who suddenly ''decides'' to bring up a young girl. Though the girl in My Girl is the man's own child, the girl in Usagi Drop is the man's niece. Both are also about combining single-parenting and work. Also both are great! :)

Both are about a single man suddenly deciding to bring up young children. The difference is that in My girl the child is the man's own kid, and the twins in Marumo no Okite aren't even related to him. Both are great! :)

Both revolve around a young man having the sudden oncoming of responsibilities and a lifestyle situated within parenthood. Though it's not as comical, it still leaves an impact much similar to this movie.

Shiomi Eiji is a florist. He is a single man with a young daughter named Shizuku. One day, he invites a blind woman seeking shelter under his shop awning to come in out of the rain. A surprising tale gradually unfolds as the story of their budding love transforms into a complex web of lies and dark motives. Nothing is as it seems at first, and each of the characters is burdened with their own painful secrets.

The plot is identical. Almost too similar, to the point that Umi no Hajimari looks like a total copy from My Girl. Both main characters are young males that were dumped by their girlfriends and years later find out that the ex-girlfriend had passed away. In the funeral both of them find out that the ex-girlfriend had a secret child, a young girl, and that they were actually the father. The details on the stories diverge, but overall they look identical to me. ^^"
