    Quality slice of life!

    In the first episode, I really thought this would be another throw-away fan service series. Oh how wrong I was!

    This is a really good anime, touching on some serious themes that are usually brushed over in other series. And it does it well! It's emotional and heartwarming, has interesting characters and the music and animation is stellar. It's an all around pleasure to watch, and a must watch for any slice of life fan.

    Really Wholesome

    Well Higehiro is my favorite anime of this season. It is undoubtedly Worth watching even if slice of life is not your thing mainly due to the unique and amazing character of the protagonist Yoshida. His kind-hearted, caring soul and his selflessness are features we can even greater appreciate due to the fragile with a tragic past co-protaginist Sayu. Overall it is a as the title states a wholesome story.

    By far my favorite anime

    This quickly became my comfort anime. It's definitely underrated and worth watching! I love Sayu and Yoshida's relationship dynamics. The plot is very good and I really hope there is a season 2. Would love to see where the series could go.
