<p>Could it be <a href="http://myanimelist.net/manga/6164/My_Girl" rel="nofollow noreferrer">My Girl</a>?</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/oeKX2.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>The guy had a girlfriend who had to travel abroad and she ended up having a kid but didn't tell him, deciding to dump him instead (so as to not burden him with a child). Then she died and the guy ended up taking care of the kid. The little girl is in kindergarten I think, so maybe 5 years old? I can't remember if it was specifically mentioned that the girl looked exactly like her mother, but they're drawn very similarly, and because he is still kind-of in love with his late ex-girlfriend, he decides to take care of the little girl.</p>

<p>There's a total of 44 chapters across 5 volumes. Later in the story, there's a sort-of love interest for the guy, and some drama between the 3 of them.</p>

<p>I remember the girl being a quiet 6-7 year old who was clingy and highly reliant on the guy.</p>

<p>the girl looked exactly like the guy's ex who either died or left him years ago which is why the guy was so attached to the little kid. </p>

<p>It wasn't a comedy manga by any means, it was more like a slice of life or psychological themed story.</p>

<p>As far as I had read, there wasn't anything sexual or physical between the guy and the little girl (wasn't a loli manga) but the two were really close and the guy didn't want to get into a new relationship because he kept thinking about her.</p>

<p>He was raising the little girl as his own child. </p>

<p>The girl kept wanting to look older and more mature so she used to steal make up and high heels to get the guy's attention</p>

<p>That's pretty much all I remember and the manga was a chaptered one so no one-shots </p>

Sounds quite a bit like *Kodomo no Jikan*. That, however, *is* an infamously skeevy loli manga. (Half the skeevy loli content is for dark psychological drama. Only half, though.)

@MattNordhoff That's the best three-sentence summary of *Kodomo no Jikan* I've ever seen.

Manga where a guy, whose girlfriend passed away/dumped him, is left to take care of a little girl and starts getting too attached
