Summary: Daikichi, a 30-year-old bachelor, encounters Rin, a 6-year-old girl he doesn’t know, at his grandfather’s funeral. Daikichi is flabbergasted when he learns that she is actually the illegitimate child of his grandfather. The other relatives pretend to have a discussion over who will get custody of Rin, all the while trying to fob her off on each other. Unable to let this pass, Daikichi impulsively declares that he will adopt Rin. Daikichi has a strong sense of justice, but he’s a blunderer, while Rin, though a little girl, has a strong mind. And so their life together begins, a road that is sure to be bumpy and will require cooperation from both of them. Can Daikichi handle both child-raising and his work? And will the single Daikichi find a partner to make his new family complete? (official summary from Crunchyroll.com)

When the grandfather of the family finally passes away, he leaves behind a 6 year old daughter that nobody knew about. No one really wants to take care of her... so Daikichi steps in. A 30 year old bachelor, he knows nothing about kids or girls, but knows that Rin deserves a home. He opens his heart to her, and she opens his to him. This show shows them becoming a family, negotiating all the obstacles that come with single parenthood and not being directly related. It's sweet, it's loveable, and it's absolutely adorable!

Violence: Rin and her friend lose a tooth, and you see a little blood dripping. That's it.

Problematic Theological Themes: Daikichi's grandfather never married the woman who had Rin, though he did offer it. She turned him down. Rin's mother also (apparently) has no problem giving Rin up, though there are small flashes of remorse.

Other potentially problematic themes: There are three swears at most in the anime, none worse than the 'd-word'. Daikichi and Rin go to a company party where there is some drinking.

A charming show, from the first episode to the last.
Be sure to watch for the after-credits segments in each episode.
There are several scenes that feature events related to Eastern religion. There is also a little bit of blood in the show, though the only instances I remember were when two of the children had baby teeth come out. There is also some alcohol and tobacco use, and a few mild swears.
Rin's mother and father had an inappropriate relationship, and this is mentioned several times.
