I could only think 'Kill me please' when he asked the viewer how her (/his) day was. I don't know how I feel about an awkward, grown-up version of Dora the Explorer.

Ahaha, glad I'm not the only one seriously creeped by this guy. During the very first scene I was all like "oh shit, I'm staring into the abyss, you know what they say about the abyss". I wouldn't be surprised if he really belonged to yandere type...

Ages ago when this was being announced I was pretty sure it will be something as "spectacular" as Sleeping with Hinako, but gosh, I actually like it! The visuals are great, the opening was catchy (I wonder if it's not too energetic for this kind of series but whatever) and dem guys... they actually have abs! And they are older than 18! They are manly! This is right my alley! Bless you, Japan! But no way I'm conversing with a guy showing up on my screen, I'm not that crazy. I'll just enjoy the view ;)

So he was definifely contradicting himself.
Maybe if it had been a little longer, it would have been a little less awkward.

I watched 15 seconds and the opening which was more than enough.

Really reminds me of Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako.

This is not really my cup of thee and for the people who think the same this must have bin awkward. But if you enjoy it, please do it is nice to see fanservice for females.

It was kinda uncomfortable to watch but he made me laugh, I guess his awkwardness was endearing. He was an innocently charming guy and his voice was cute. The implication that he stays in the house, my house, all day was slightly guilt-inducing and creepy. But I guess he is a pillow boy, not like he has anything better to do. I liked it, I like boys, I will keep watching.

It was weird and good at the same time.

For someone who is plagued by nightmares (like 80% of the nights), this thing is... right up my alley. Until now I've had mental conversation before sleep, with a couple of... characters, who would &quot;watch over me&quot; and &quot;sleep&quot; beside me. At least, it helped me fall asleep easier (usually that's also a problem). Having a thick blanket rolled beside me for something tangible beside the voice, also helps.

I should watch this before going to sleep, to expand the list of my... helpers.
(damn, that sounds weird. don't judge me)


Hey, maybe try ASMR if you haven't heard of it. Search it up on youtube, it's just relaxing sounds, people whispering and such. It sounds really weird, I know, but it's seriously relaxing. This show actually gave me some ASMR vibes, but it wasn't quite relaxing enough for me.

That was amazing. I had a bad day and this really calmed me and made me feel relaxed.

I really like Natsuki's voice here. I prefer watching these over first person Drama CDs any day because there's visuals along with the subtitles. I'm already used to these kinds of shows (rather, audios) so it didn't feel awkward at all.

Looking forward to Yuuichiro Umehara in episode 3. But ayy, Ayumu next episode will be slightly interesting.

I couldn't stop laughing because it felt super awkward. I've listened to Drama CDs before and those are fine but the idea of a dude looking at me from the screen is a little creepy. I guess I'll have to get used to it.

Actually, I did try it. But it didn't work for me. Anime is one thing, but real people whispering in my ear... was kind of funnier and creepier at the same time, and it didn't help me relax. Maybe I haven't found one that would work for me (but thx for trying to help). I do have some awesome sounds of nature though (ocean waves and thunderstorm) and it has put me to sleep a couple of times. But sometimes that's not enough, especially after really bad nightmares.

I didn't exactly like this particular pillow-boy, but the concept makes me feel more comfortable (maybe because they're not real). So I'm here for the whole thing.

Did feel a little bit awkward, especially when it zoomed right into his face every few seconds. However, it was nice to listen to (and read, because I can't understand Japanese) so I'm definitely continuing.

Ueh, at least Sleeping with Hinako was animated. The still frames ruin most of the appeal, and the audio quality sounds like a bad ASMR. Maybe that's just me from listening to too many mimikaki

This is so missing the dummyhead. I'm suffering and CR version was silent no music or clothes rustle sounds at all. (Original)
Mery might look sweet and innocent but he is targeting my buttocks. I couldn't look him in the eyes.
Is he a spirit, boyfriend, or a pillow? Who he is to me is a mystery.

Far more entertaining if, instead of imagining yourself as being the one being spoken to, you imagine some extreme tsundere and the way they react to each line.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I am watching this before bedtime and I confirm that it is an amazing remedy to those of us who are unable to sleep properly. The tender voice and the equanimous smile will guide me to dreamland like railroad tracks.

Eventually the railroad tracks will be replaced by iron tracks and I will return to my dull life as a soldier in training, but I will always remember his smile, and he will always accompany me as I fall alseep in the desert sands. He will become my prayer. I thank him. Goodnight. You have done me a great deed.

Haven't watched it, but I know exactly what it's supposed to be. It's an 'otome' thing where the character 'talks to the listener'. Kinda Like sleepy boyfriend, shukan soine, vitamin x ...etc. Its target audience is (lonely) teenage girls and women, though gay/bi guys might enjoy it too XD. So yes, if you're a straight guy, or you just don't like it when boys flirt with you, DO NOT watch this.

12 boys in 12 eps, eh? I'll bet they're based on the zodiac.

I'm almost certain i will not finish this show but for 4minutes per ep it may be one of those things i just have to watch just to see how strange they are lol. I'm more surprised it made it to animation than anything else lol.
