Hige o Soru. Soshite Joshikousei o Hirou.

I binged first five episodes.......four times.........on the same day.........for the first time .Yes I'm watching Vivy, Fumetsu no... ,nagatoro and other too but this one is Truly underrated piece of work, huge respected to the writer, director, va, everyone involved in the production or in any way. The dialogues, the precision with which the scenes are written, the amount of feelings and heartfelt love put is incredible. Sayu is best girl, must be protected at all costs, Yoshida has great voice, personality, everything, I love his character. Looking forward to everything.

The episode was great. Everything fits perfectly 👌 looking forward to seeing upcoming episodes.

This anime series opens with salaryman Yoshida being rejected when he finally manages to tell a woman how he feels about her. He gets drunk and as he returns home he finds a teenage girl named Sayu sitting by the side of the road. She offers to sleep with him in return for a place to spend the night. He rejects that offer but does take her home and looks after her. He later learns that many men had accepted that offer since she ran away from her home in Hokkaido six months previously. He makes her a different offer; she can stay at his place if she does the housework and cooking. Soon a platonic friendship develops but inevitably there are some problems; society is unlikely to believe their relationship is innocent and one day somebody will come looking for her.

I enjoyed this series even more than I expected; it could so easily have turned into something sleazy but instead, thanks to Yoshida's moral behaviour, it has a purity that is heart-warming and uplifting. Our two protagonists are both likeable and fun to spend time with. Other characters are interesting too although inevitably some are less likeable; most obviously a man she had previously stayed with. The character designs may be fairly generic but they look good and suit the series. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anime fans; I hope at some point we get to find out what happens next for Yoshida and Sayu.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This quickly became my comfort anime. It's definitely underrated and worth watching! I love Sayu and Yoshida's relationship dynamics. The plot is very good and I really hope there is a season 2. Would love to see where the series could go.

Well Higehiro is my favorite anime of this season. It is undoubtedly Worth watching even if slice of life is not your thing mainly due to the unique and amazing character of the protagonist Yoshida. His kind-hearted, caring soul and his selflessness are features we can even greater appreciate due to the fragile with a tragic past co-protaginist Sayu. Overall it is a as the title states a wholesome story.
