 Publishing company Kadokawa announced an anime adaptation of Shimesaba's Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. (I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home.) light novel on Thursday.  SynopsisOffice worker Yoshida has been crushing on his coworker, Airi Gotou, for five years. Despite finally scoring a date with her, his confession is promptly rejected. Drunk and disappointed, he stumbles home, only to find a high school girl sitting on the side of the road. The girl, needing a place to stay the night, attempts to seduce Yoshida. Despite rejecting her advances, he nevertheless invites her into his apartment. The next morning, the girl, introducing herself as Sayu Ogiwara, reveals that she has run away from Hokkaido all the way to Tokyo. During her six-month spree, she continually traded sexual favors for a roof over her head. Yoshida, however, remains unswayed by her seduction. Instead, he has her do a different kind of work—one that entails washing dishes and doing laundry. And so, a touching relationship between a heartbroken adult and a runaway high school girl begins. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Shimesaba launched the slice of life romantic comedy novel on the Kakuyomu website in March 2017. Kadokawa began publishing the series with illustrations by booota (Shichisei no Subaru) last February and shipped the third volume on January 1 this year (pictured right). The novel series has a cumulative 400,000 copies of its volumes in print. Kadokawa's Monthly Shounen Ace magazine began serializing a manga adaptation by Imaru Adachi in November 2018. The second volume went on sale on October 26. Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. placed fourth in the 2019 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings. Kadokawa posted a 15-second commercial in June 2018, featuring voice actress Saori Hayami (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.) as the narrator.

| Should read it soon so that I didn't become filthy secondaries. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Really wasn't expecting this one tbh well, it was really enjoyable aside from that. |
| I have seen very similar synopsis in few other Hentai. Just saying. |
 |
| Oh, I'm definitely curious! A sucker for these kind of plots, quite admittedly. Hopefully, Saori Hayami will play the main heroine role by the way. It'll be a pleasure to have her soothing voice on board for this, I reckon. Here's to hoping it'll be something like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (After the Rain). Coincidentally, I've watched the live action of KoiAme earlier today so I'm craving for more of such Romance more so than normal so it's really nice to see this announcement! |

| Whoa, I didn't expect this one to get an anime adaptation. From how much I've read the manga this is just another bait with, of course, pretty female characters. |
 |
| i can't root for dirty whore female lead auto skip |
 |
tragedydesu said: i can't root for dirty whore female lead Exactly. And the other female characters are also shit. |
|
| Woah! This one will be a wild ride. I can feel all the people screaming BS about Sayo being "dirty" a "whore" and most of all "used goods" as it happened before. Well, if you can get past all the hate, this one is quite good. It has some lukewarm feels for you and also some tension moments. Hope they can convey this with the adaptation. |
| Gotta update this soon™ |
KatsutoSaki said: tragedydesu said: i can't root for dirty whore female lead Exactly. And the other female characters are also shit. At least not for now but can't say much about that senpai looks like a slut from every angle lol. Kohai is the best character for now. |
| look at those beta male care too much of female virginity who has been sexually exploited and abused. this is why no female like you either. ________________ JK Haru is a Sex worker next pls.. more those tears... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| it's a decent wholesome series, tho I have only read the manga. Hope this will turn out to be a good anime |

Yeah, I'm getting bad flashbacks from the manga comment section. Dunno what's wrong with people. |

Oh, that's the 1st ever in my life that someone told me that ur a beta if u don't like whores what an open-mindedness u got that bro sorry for being such an unlcultured swine not that I care what someone calls me lol. And when was she abused btw? |
| The problem is not the story but the wish fulfillment way it has been presented. It's not actually a well written story (such as KoiAme as @_MushiRock11_ has pointed out). It tries to be emotional and draw pity through the eyes of the nice guy main character but I cannot feel it. I have no problem with a story where the main heroine being sexually abused (monogatari series for an example is one of the best I have seen/read) but this one just doesn't have the depth in the storytelling. I will pass. |

| Wow this one's gonna be a dramatic ride if anyone's ready for it |
| This is definitely a good news for me. I've read the manga and I didn't expected it to be so good that I got hooked on it. Though probably, many boys would not like this cause the main girl is already a used goods. |
| I'm not fond of the femalle MC based from the I've read. I really can't explain why but I just don't like it. But I'll definitely watch this if its hentai. lol |
| I never heard anything about this novel, but I'm not surprised that many people have so much hype, it's another story excuse for an adult man to be near a pretty teenage girl it's like any other story of Wish fulfillment of a loser guy that good things happen to.  |

| wow finnaly f*** yeah I was totaly not expecting an anime adaptation of this one. |

And when was she abused btw? bruh, she is literally homeless (just run from home for no reason /s) and the only way she can have shelter is by selling her body. that's what she has been used, and that's what realism she has and expecting the same from MC. she desperate to keep the week ties she had because also used to get thrown away. but still, as shimanebib pointed out, i actually drop this series because is reeks wish fulfillment. but the way people pointing the heroine just because "hurr durr she is a not virgin, a used goods, and a whore" is really showing lack of empathy you can have towards woman. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
 I wonder how well this series actually does in Japan. |
 |
| I've been waiting for this to happen since day 1 of the LN release. Read the LN and WN and really loved it. Glad to see Sayu animated. |
| 「友達なんていない。人はすぐに裏切るし、学校っていうのは誰かを標的にしないとやってられない馬鹿共の集 まり。ままごとみたいな役決めて、仲のいいふりして都合が悪くなったら知らんぷり。そんな奴らと仲良くした いとか全然思わない。」 |
| even though I just finished volume 1 but this has gotten an anime adaptation, Although it doesn't bad. |
  |
| I've read this manga back when there were only 3 chapters up iirc. I liked the manga art so I kept up with it and will definitely watch this when it airs! hopefully they get a good seiyuu for Sayu. Its not everyday that we get a sexually abused/used female main character in the spotlight. |

She was willingly exchanging sex for shelter, it's not called being used, it's called prostituting herself. And people has right to have dislike for people who prostitute themselves. Just like they have right to do for any other reason. "She was rude that one time to my parents" "Leave her!" is okay, but "I'm not into females who prostitute themselves" is "How dare you! Accept her or...!" But if you accept prostitution as work, then you have no right to have problem with her clients. They did nothing wrong. She offered sex in exchange for letting her stay night and they accepted the deal. As simple as that. this must be said by people who never search for work from the outcast. you can't search legal protected works without Identification card. and for underage, that against the law to work without parents permit, which exactly what she didn't want and no one want to employ her either. the only one who will employ those are shady stuff, like it or not. the fact that she only have to prostitute herself is already better than most people without ID card tend to do (drugs, smuggling, organized crime, extortion, scam, ect.) does that mean she completely innocent? not really, but no, she is not a "bad/whore/slut" girl just because she has been selling her body. sometimes, it's not because she is dreaming to be prostitute, rarely anyone want such risky job with no future. but life doesn't always give you a choice. |

So every girl who ran from home in Japan is automatically forced to become prostitute? I never said that she is bad. It's her decision, I don't dislike or hate sex workers. But that don't change the fact, she is in fact sex worker/prostitute. My only point is, it's valid point to not want someone like that as his/her partner. You can don't like someone for any reason you want, because it's your own decision. If you are willing to have partner which was selling their body, then it's fine. But it's also fine if you don't. if they didn't have relative they can rely on, usually much worse. and the shame culture of japan made it even harder to be upfront about it. and my post is for the one who being judgmental towards them, i don't understood why you replay me if we are on the same pages. if it's preference, sure. it's FOR them. but if MC is fine with it, i don't see the reason why they outcry over it, unless because they can't self-inserting, which is even worse. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| oh boy, these are confusing times. |
| I read the first 10 chapters, and I've already decided to watch this when it airs Everyone's basically hating on it just because they're ignorant lol |

You have zero knowledge of the novel, but still comment here just to get a false sense of superiority? Where is the wish fulfillment thing coming here? Could you speak the same if the roles were reversed? What exactly is a 'good thing' here? You mean an unknown girl suddenly taking refuge in a busy man's house is a good thing? This is not some peculiar ecchi/harem series where such things are fetishized. |
