Synopsis

When regular salaryman Yoshida wakes up one Sunday morning after a long night at the bar, the last thing he expects to see is that his tiny apartment has a new resident—an unfamiliar high school girl.

The previous night, despite finally gathering the courage to confess to his boss and longtime crush, Airi Gotou, Yoshida was rejected. After drowning his sorrows at a bar with his good friend Hashimoto, Yoshida headed back to his home in a drunken stupor, only to run into Sayu Ogiwara, a runaway high schooler. She asked him to let her stay the night, and with his judgment clouded by alcohol, Yoshida complied.

Now, with his head on straight but with no memory of last night's events, Yoshida has Sayu explain just how she ended up sleeping at his apartment. Having listened to her story, Yoshida finds himself unable to kick her out—especially after learning that she came all the way from Hokkaido! So, despite his reservations about sheltering an underage girl, Yoshida allows her to stay, and their life together begins.

Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway... This anime is seriously one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen - it's like a masterclass in friendship and relationships.

I mean, Yoshida? He's like the ultimate dude. I'd have lost my cool like five times over if I were in his shoes, but he just keeps on trucking, always looking out for Sayu. And Sayu herself? She's like the most precious thing ever! I just wanted to give her a big ol' hug and protect her from the world.

What really got me was how the series tackled some heavy stuff ...

TLDR: Had a pretty good beginning but quickly became mediocre

Story 6/10
The story is about a runaway girl from home. She has been running away from home due to family issues and sleeping from guy to guy in order to find a home to stay until one day she offers to sleep with the main protagonist Yoshida in exchange for a temporary home to stay. However, Yoshida's approach to this girl is different. He didn't just want to straight up sleep with the girl he wanted to give this girl a chance in the modern world to learn about life and day-to-day manners. It had a ...

If i could describe this show in one word its hypocritical. For a show that talks about the sexual exploitation of minors it sure exploits its high school student a lot.

Spoilers

As a western fan of anime one thing i hate about anime is the over abundance of incest, minor exploitation and rape culture. this is a show that seemed to try and tackle the issue of real life sexual exploitation of minors in japan. the show does this by covering the story of a high school student who runs away from home and gets exploited by men until she meets the main character. ...
