Synopsis

To escape from the monotony of his daily life, Jouji Ema likes to count all the cute things he sees. However, this has become a difficult task at his all-boys school, with one exception: his classmate Miyoshi Hayashi. After a random mishap with Hayashi at the sports festival, the boy starts following Ema around asking him if he thinks he is cute. Ema is puzzled by Hayashi's frank yet naive attitude, but he cannot help but be drawn in by his eccentric personality.

Meanwhile, Yuuichi Medaka's school year takes a wrong step when he is seated in front of Akira Nikaidou, a gloomy boy rumored to put curses on anyone that crosses his path. Determined to get in Nikaidou's good graces, Medaka tries to befriend him, but to no avail. Just when he is about to admit defeat, he discovers that Nikaidou might not be the bad omen everyone believes he is.

I'm not a fan of the "slice of life" genre. Despite knowing this, I decided to give this anime a shot. And man, am I glad that I did. These 5 episodes were absolutely refreshing, something I'd recommend to friends (I already did)! In the past, whenever I watched an anime with the tag "slice of life", it turned out pretty boring and repetitive, causing me to lose interest easily. But this anime, with its cast made up of unique characters, and each story being portrayed originally- not following the usual highschool anime tropes, stood out. Moreover, the different ways each character viewed highschool life ...

This was an interesting little anime. I wasn't sure what would happen given Wayama's previous works but I was not disappointed. The characters seemed like kids you'd see in an actual high school. The stuff they got up to sometimes was super weird, but who wasn't super weird in high school? It was a nice short anime though I kind of wish that it had another episode. But the open ended nature of the final episode fit with all the other stories that came before it.

If you're looking for a short simple slice of life anime with a bit of humor to it, then ...

Captivated, by You — Oh look, I'm a man of stature that everyone should be fixing their eyes on...oh, why is it only that I attract quirky people?

The AniManga world is quite the fascinating medium to explore, known for not just pushing the mainstream narratives (that honestly tire the majority to no end) and sometimes pushing out works of showcase where one small effort goes a long way. And this summer season, there's certainly more than just the half-as-usual 12-episode series, from Taizan 5's Takopi no Genzai a.k.a. Takopi's Original Sin, to Shinichiro Nariie's Food Court de, Mata Ashita a.k.a. See You Tomorrow at the ...
