posted on by Adriana Hazra
Muse Asia announced on Wednesday that it will simulcast the television anime adaptation of author Shimesaba and illustrator booota's Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway (Hige o Soru. Soshite Joshi Kōsei o Hirō.) light novels on YouTube on April 5. The channel will stream a new episode every Monday at 8:00 p.m. IST.
Alongside India, Muse Asia will stream the anime in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia, and Bhutan.
The company describes the anime:
Yoshida, a 26-year-old salaryman, is on his way home from a night of drinking after being dumped by his unrequited love. He bumps into Sayu, a high school girl, who is sitting by herself on the side of the road. Drunk as a skunk, Yoshida unconsciously puts Sayu, who has no place to stay, up for a night. The next morning, he wakes up to a delicious smell of miso soup.""Good morning""
""Who the hell are you?! Why is there a high school girl in my room?""
""I asked you to let me stay in your room and you agreed. You said, 'Miso soup. Make me miso soup every day and I'll let you stay'.”
""What?! There's no way I said that!""Sayu has run away from home and has nowhere to go, so he can't bring himself to kick her out. Yoshida allows her to live with him on the condition that she does some housework. The delicate dynamics between the runaway high school girl and the salaryman are both frustrating and warm. Their mysterious life together has begun.
The anime will premiere on April 5 on Tokyo MX, BS11, and AT-X.
