Billed as a ‘heartwarming tale about finding ourselves and each other through adversity’, this change of pace from the studio best known for action anime like My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is adapted from a short story by award-winning author Seiko Tanabe.
Here’s the synopsis: “Insisting on being called Josee, a character from her favourite book, Kumiko Yamamura is stubborn, unruly, and not even her thick Osakan accent can hide the sharpness of her tongue. However, she’s also trapped in a home ill-prepared for her disabilities and hidden away from a world she’s been told is full of hostile ‘tigers’. When she literally falls into the arms of aspirational college student Tsuneo Suzukawa, however, the two start to see the world and what they want from it in a whole new light.
