Raising children is a complicated but rewarding job. This is true both in real life and in anime. But what if we make it even more complicated by changing the setting, making it so one has to take care of young children in a fantasy world? Several anime have told us stories like that, including Clevatess this very season. Sometimes the biggest challenge in a magical world is not facing beasts or enemy wizards and warriors, but surviving in those environments while raising and protecting others. If that kind of story sounds appealing to you, we have some recommendations that will fit you like a glove. Clevatess RELATED: More Than a Cheap Trick — Examining the Importance of Gore in Anime Who would have thought that Clevatess , one of the most violent anime of the summer season, would feature one of the most adorable babies? Clevatess is not a hero who is forced to become a makeshift father; it is quite the opposite. He is the monster who leaves that baby homeless. However, in a totally unexpected twist, he ends up accepting the request of a dying young humanoid to protect a baby from the kingdom he has just destroyed. The baby, whom he names Luna, must prove to Clevatess that humanoids are worthy of living. However, the powerful being does not know how to raise a child, so he decides to revive Alicia, one of the 13 heroes who attacked him, motivating his retaliation against humanoids. But soon this unlikely family is forced to look for a new member, given Alicia's inability to breastfeed Luna, which forces the trio to look for a wet nurse. That role ends up being covered by Nelluru, a slave whom Clevatess ends up saving from her fate. But the group's journey will not be easy; the war and intrigues of the human world will be obstacles in their way, and the fate of all depends on how that child grows up. Will he be able to prove to the powerful beast that humanoids are worthy of surviving? Somali and the Forest Spirit RELATED: 9 of the Best Adoptive Dads in Anime In Somali and the Forest Spirit , we are once again faced with a world where human beings are victims of the power of different supernatural races to the point of being in danger of extinction. Humanity's prejudices against non-humans caused a great war that ended with them as the losers, overwhelmed by the difference in both numbers and power. In this context, a Golem whose role is that of a guardian of a forest finds a little human girl and decides to protect her until he can take her to her parents or others of her kind. Somali, the human girl, considers the Golem her father, and although he insists that he is incapable of feeling emotions, the bond he forms with the little girl gradually breaks down his shell. Together, they must embark on a journey full of dangers where the girl must pretend to be a minotaur using a horned hood. They are joined by the dwarf Oni Shizuno and his assistant, Yabashira, forming another peculiar family to follow on an adventure with a melancholic tone that teaches us the importance of accepting those who are different from us. A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring RELATED: Essential Isekai Anime on Crunchyroll, From Sword Art Online to KONOSUBA Changing the tone a little, in this isekai anime we follow Takumi Kayano, a human who is accidentally killed by Sylphyryll, God of Wind, from another world. To compensate, he revives him and gives him great abilities, while at the same time placing him in the path of two abandoned children in a forest. Upon finding them, Takumi decides to protect them and names them Alan and Elena, unaware that it is more likely that they will be the ones who protect him with their impressive powers. Beyond the circumstances of Takumi arriving in the other world and the mystery of the children's past, A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring is a light series. There are no great dangers to face, and not only does our protagonist get strong very quickly, but the two children he has to raise are extraordinarily strong (although a little shy and timid at first). As if that weren't enough, they are accompanied by three equally very powerful sweet pets, so their work as adventurers is exempt from real risks except for specific moments. It's a relaxed anime series with heartwarming moments between a father, or rather, an adoptive older brother, taking care of two adorable little ones. If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord RELATED: Why Did It Take Me So Long to Watch Buddy Daddies? Contrary to what the title suggests, most of If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord is another heartwarming story about adoptive parenthood. Great battles are not abundant, and when they do happen, they are resolved quickly. Our protagonist is Dale, a respected and talented adventurer. During a mission, he finds a cute little demon girl named Latina whose father has died. Unable to leave her to her own devices, Dale decides to adopt her and becomes her devoted father. The series focuses on the warm moments of their daily lives in which Dale strives to give Latina the best life possible. The title says it all. Dale's love for his daughter is so great that he would not hesitate to face the Demon Lord if it meant protecting her. But the greatest danger Latina faces in the series is prejudice against demons, and even that is a circumstance that is quickly overcome in this anime. The bond that forms between them is endearing, although if you want to keep that immaculate image, it is better to settle for the anime and not look much further. Delico’s Nursery RELATED: 6 Fantasy Anime to Watch This Summer Set in a Gothic and dark fantasy world, Delico’s Nursery follows Dali Delico, a vampire aristocrat who is part of the Vlad Agency within the Blood Pact Council. In the midst of a series of murders that seem to be aimed at the progenitor of the vampires (a being known as "TRUMP"), Dali, along with his team made up of elite members such as Gerhard Fra and Henrique Lorca, must investigate the case. The uniqueness of the story lies in the unexpected and chaotic odyssey that this group of vampire aristocrats embarks on. Their headquarters, known as "The Nursery," becomes a makeshift home where they must combine a high-risk criminal investigation with the protection and upbringing of both Dali's children and many other vampire children. Delico faces a double challenge: protecting his children from the threats looming over his world and unraveling the intrigues of vampire society at the same time.
