This week’s work to be recommended is a heartwarming and moving animation, this is 2011 It was broadcast in July 2015, the animation "White Rabbit Candy" (うさぎドロップ) in the noitaminA column. The original work of

"White Rabbit Candy" is a comic drawn by Uren Tian Yumi (Uren Tian Yumi). It has been serialized since 2005 and ended in 2011. The original biography plus the external biography, all single-line editions are 10 volumes. Before it was adapted into animation and live-action movies, the popularity of "White Rabbit Sugar" was not very popular, because the magazine "FEEL YOUNG" it was serializing at that time was a publication of Xiang Chuanshe, a company with more than 60 employees. Small publishing houses, so the positioning of the magazine is mainly for young women. At that time, the sales volume of the magazine was only 65,000, but now it has dropped to more than 10,000. This kind of sales, not to mention the comparison with the big magazines of the three major juvenile magazines, which have a sales volume of over one million, is also completely incomparable with some girl comic magazines.

The cover of the first volume of the comic book "White Rabbit Candy".

has been serialized silently for many years under such circumstances without much popularity. The original author Urenda Yumi is actually only planning to draw the contents of a single book. According to her, she was asked to draw a story about a 30-year-old man living with a child when she first received this project. At the time, she originally wanted to set the age of the heroine Rin to 4 years old. Later, she felt a little too young. If it's too big, it doesn't feel like a child, and finally set a more suitable age of 6 years old. The story of

"White Rabbit Candy" is actually very simple, it is the story of an uncle living with a loli. The protagonist He Di Daji is a 30-year-old man who is still single. One day, he suddenly received news of his grandfather's death. When he rushed back to his hometown where he had not returned for many years to attend the funeral, he discovered that there was an illegitimate son of his grandpa. Little girl Lu He Rin.

When Daji opened the door, a little girl in a black dress holding a gentian flower hit his eyes. The lonely figure gave this girl a kind of elegance away from the world. When the breeze passed by, blowing her hair, Stubbornly, she was holding back the tears, her innocent and beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak, telling her sadness. This moment was the first time Daji and Rin met. On this sad occasion, it felt so beautiful.

Rin's first appearance.

Because of Rin’s special status and the gossip of her relatives, no one wanted to take her in. When everyone was planning to send her to the orphanage, Dae-gil stood up and decided to be Rin’s guardian despite the opposition of her family, and let her be with herself. live together. So an unmarried man without a girlfriend, just shouldered the responsibility of his father. In the early days of

, because she was not liked by others, her grandfather was the only one in her world who was willing to talk to her and play. When her grandfather passed away, she became withdrawn and taciturn. When I came to Da Ji’s home and lived with him, I felt Da Ji’s sincerity and responsibility towards him. She also gradually recovered the character of an ordinary little girl, and gradually became cheerful. Not only would she clean the room by herself, she would cook and stack quilts. In housework, he even regarded Daji as his closest person, although he never called his father and did not change his surname to Hedi.

Daji also regretted that he was too impulsive at first. A person who has no experience with children has to start learning how to get along with a 6-year-old. In his eyes, Rin is so cute, like an angel sent from heaven, it doesn't matter to sacrifice his work for her. Although I really thought it was Grandpa's child at first, it made the relationship between the two parties a bit embarrassing, but after learning of Rin's true identity, he felt sorry for her.

In order to be able to go home earlier to take care of Rin, Dae-gil gave up the opportunity to be promoted and chose to pay less and have more time.Yu's position, the income is enough to support the two of them. In life, he has to learn how to be considerate of each other when facing a child wetting the bed, how to coax him if he doesn't eat well, and how to meet the requirements when shopping with a child. In fact, these are nothing. The biggest sacrifice is to give up the opportunity to find someone. Originally a newcomer had a good impression of him, but when he learned that he had a 6-year-old "oil bottle", he gave up instantly. When he and Yugari Nitani had a good relationship with each other, they had to give up because they didn't want to ruin the relationship between Rin and Kouki. The two people confirmed each other's intentions, but they couldn't be together. They were so happy, but so sad. If you miss it, you miss it. When the two meet again ten years later, it's too late.

For Daji, although he is raising a 6-year-old child, he still does not know what life should be like after marriage and what kind of experience it is to raise his own child. Maybe he treats Rin more as a friend who is even better than his daughter, even though the two are more than twenty years old. He will be extremely worried when Rin catches a cold, cheer up when Rin is hit, and sincerely bless Rin when he makes new friends. In his life, Rin has become an irreplaceable part.

And in Rin’s eyes, Daji is Daji. It was when she was the loneliest and helpless, she stretched out her hand and asked gently: ‘Would you like to come home with me? That's good luck. When she came to Daji's house and lived with him, she felt a different lifestyle from before. They got up together, brushed their teeth together, cooked together, took a bath together, and played together. In front of Dae-gil, Rin would be embarrassed to say that wetting the quilt is not bedwetting but sweating. He would also happily talk about her life in kindergarten. In Rin’s heart, Dae-gil is a substitute for her father on the one hand, and on the other Her good friends are trusted family members.

Dae-gil and Rin are relying on each other while growing together. Rin’s innocence and liveliness make Dae-gil’s original monotonous life more interesting, while Dae-gil’s gentleness and sincerity make Rin feel the beauty of life. From not knowing each other to further adapting, then to facing difficulties together and having a tacit understanding of each other, the whole work is full of warmth, and a strong sense of happiness comes through the screen. All this is due to the description of the manga author Urenda Yumi, who has captured the details of life and made the small things that everyone can encounter in daily life become different because of the existence of the two.

Rin finally made his friend Yukiki Nitani.

is different from the original comics. The plots of the animation and the movie are mainly focused on the scenes of Rin's life with Daji when he was a child. The back of the comics draws out the plot of Rin when he grows up. Starting from the fifth booklet, it becomes a story of 16-year-old Rin and 40-year-old Daji. Because of their age, the thoughts of high school girls are completely different from when they were young. It is a completely different experience. For Dae-gil, he has to play the role of a father and provide advice to Rin from the perspective of his brother. Finally, As a boyfriend, he changed his attitude with Rin. That's right, at the end of the comic, the two of them came together, and the ending of the father's marriage at the beginning caused a scream of readers. Some people support it, while others can't accept it. For example, the author and I hope that Daji can be with the single mother Ergu Yugari. The original author of

Urenda Yumi was born in Mie Prefecture, Japan in 1972. After that, he studied fashion at Nagoya Junior College. After graduation, he worked in an advertising company for four years. Finally, he couldn't help his comic dreams and began to give magazines one after another. Contributed and debuted in 1998 with a short work "VOICE" published in "Young Animal". Since then, it has been published in comic magazines for older readers in various publishing houses, mainly depicting works of female youth. "White Rabbit Candy" is her comic with the longest serialization time and the largest number of single-volumes. She would receive such a project because she had previously drawn a cartoon "The Complete Experience of Childbirth" based on her experience of pregnancy and childbirth. The editor liked her to have experience in raising children, and hoped that she could follow her own The experience, depicting how an unmarried man brought a half-old child. Because the author has experience, she arranges some plots of daily life in comics, and then modifies them to make the whole story appear more real and close to life.

Urita Yumi said that she was learning that her work was going to be adaptedIt became a live-action movie, and I was very surprised at that time. I didn't expect to be adapted into an animation later, which made her extremely excited, which she had never dared to imagine before. After all, the audience of movies and animation is relatively wide. It can let more people know the original comics through the works, and then drive the sales of comics. According to statistics, soon after the animation ends, the sales of comics exceeded 2 million, becoming the "Feel "Young" magazine is a popular work. After all, for this kind of small magazine, the average sales volume of 200,000 per copy is already very powerful. If you have seen "Reprint", you will have an intuitive impression.

The animation project of "White Rabbit Candy" was originally planned by the noitaminA column of Fuji TV. The initial positioning of this column was to target audiences who don't watch animations in late night files, especially female audiences. Therefore, "White Rabbit Candy" The original work is aimed at young women, so it is very suitable to be shown on this column. At that time, when the comics were serialized, in the survey opinions of readers, Daji was loved by many female readers because of his personality and qualities. The producer who was in charge of animation planning, Tetsuya Nakatake was still a staff member of Production IG. After joining the company in 2000, he worked as "Mikako", "I want to tell you", "Sengoku BASARA", "RD Submarine Investigation Room" In 2012, he left his job and founded WIT STUDIO, planning to produce "Attack on Giant", "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" and other animations. This time the "White Rabbit Sugar" production team was formed by him, but no one thought he would choose a very young team. The main core of the

team are basically novices, and they also supervise Kamei Kenta who has made an animated theatrical version before, but it is the first time to make a TV version. The script is Taku Kishimoto, character setting and general painting supervisor Yamashita Yu, and Another producer, Keiko Matsushita, is the first time he has held such a major position. I have to say that Chu Wuzhe is also very hearted and believes in these novices. But in fact, judging from the quality and effect of the animation, what they did was perfect. Even the original author said that he admired the animators very much. Not only did they well show the essence of the comics, but also put them in the comics. Filtered again in a messy order to make it more reasonable. And she is very happy that the animation supervisor can express her original intention well. At that time, Urenda Yumi also specially provided the animation production team with clothing designs for different seasons of the year, contributing to the animation production. The relationship between

Rin and Daji.

In order to do this animation well, the production team also worked hard. Taku Kishimoto, who was responsible for the composition of the script series, was the first time that he was responsible for coordinating the entire content of the TV version of the animation. He was very stressed. He said that he had just resigned at the time, but I really don’t know what I’m going to do in the future. I don’t have any income. I still have children at home. In such a difficult period, the producer Zhong Wu Zhe, who has only met twice, also found him and said to him, “There’s a man called White Rabbit Candy. "The comics are very interesting. Go and see if you can make an animated version of the series. This is a noitaminA series." Poor Kishimoto Taku didn't even know what "series composition" and "noitaminA" were at the time. When he saw a job, he took over the job in a daze and entered the animation industry.

In order to complete the work, Taku Kishimoto read the comics of "White Rabbit Candy" many times. It was not finished yet. Fortunately, the plots of Rin's childhood were only concentrated in the first four books, so the time spent was not too much. The point is that he did not go well in writing the script of the first three episodes. The first episode wrote 10 drafts, the second episode 7 drafts, and the third episode 8 drafts. The first three episodes combined with 25 drafts made him a bit difficult, so the fourth episode The script supervisor Kamei Kantai couldn't stand it anymore. He said that after the script, everyone would have a discussion meeting to determine the general content and then write it by Taku Kishimoto, so that it would not be as hard to write multiple versions as before. In the interview, the supervisor of

Kamei Kita mentioned that he had only been the supervisor of the theater version of "The First Strike" before, and this time as the supervisor of TV animation for the first time was also his challenge. Like Taku Kishimoto, he was also invited by Chubu Tetsu. He called him at the time and told him that there was a story of a 30-year-old man living with a 6-year-old girl. Are you interested in making it into an animation? At the time, Kamei was still wondering, is it okay to think such a subject matter? As a result, when he read the original comics, he realized that it was very different from what he thought.

The cartoon head drawn by Chi Morimoto is full of childishness.

Speaking of the content of the animated version, Kamei said that because he had no children, he was afraid that he would not be able to experience the feeling of being a parent, so he could only ask the original author and the scripted Takuki Kishimoto to provide more opinions. In the process of making animation, I gradually felt the hardships of being a father, and also learned a lot about the way to get along with children. In order to better express the world of children, Kamei Mita invited the well-known designer Chie Morimoto to be the production of the opening OP. After graduating from Musashino Art University in 1999, Chie Morimoto joined the advertising company Hakuhodo and participated in the design of many well-known brands. After leaving in 2007, he founded his own studio "goen°", which specializes in designing for some companies such as Nissan Motor, Kirin Beer, and graphic design and PV production for singers and groups. In this OP, she adopted the style of crayon, coupled with colorful pictures, to create a picture full of childishness, adding style to the animation.

PUFFY is the animated guest dubbing, and the characters above are for them.

Another theme song "SWEET DROPS" is specially composed for this work, and it is the 15th anniversary song of the singing group PUFFY. It’s also because this song is too suitable for this work. Not only is it selected as the theme song of the animation, it is also the theme song of the live-action movie version. One song serves two versions of one work, which is rarely seen in normal times. . Urita Yumi also said that her favorite singer is PUFFY, and it is a great honor to be able to invite them to sing this time. And PUFFY two singers Okan Ami and Yoshimura Yumi also said in an interview that they like this work very much and think Dae-kichi and Rin are both cute. For this reason, the two of them also made guest appearances in the animation as two Dubbing of passersby NPC.

live-action movie poster, starring Matsuyama Kenichi and Ashida Aina.

Although the live-action movie was planned ahead, the animated version was finally released in July, and the movie was not released until August 20, 2011. This live-action movie, directed by SABU and starring Matsuyama Kenichi and Ashida Aina, earned more than 100 million yen in revenue within two days of its release. In the end, the total box office revenue was 510 million yen (about 30 million yuan). ). Ranked 80th in the box office list that year, which is considered a middle position. However, Aina Ashida, who plays Rin, is so cute, restoring Rin's innocence and cuteness, so many people watch this movie because of her, and then Aiya and Umo go to buy comics.

Rin and good luck together forever.

Personally, the author prefers animation, followed by movies. Comics are listed as the last because of the ending arrangement. If you are interested in this work, it is recommended to read all three versions again, there will be differences. Feel.
