Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway (light novel)
| It starts out great, with the main character taking care of a high schooler who ran away from home. He acts mostly as a father figure, helping her sort her life out. … aaaaand then yeah it becomes about what you’re concerned about. |
| Nah it’s not really about that, but it doesn’t matter because the show just falls off in the end after introducing some really badly done family drama. |

kickstar said: pretty much what this guy said about the show is trueIts kind of like the opposite. The high schooler falls in love with the adult MC. But its not really a romance anime. The relationship between both the characters are more like Father-Daughter not bf-gf. |

Tonethebone said: I’ve heard great things about this show, but I’m not into the whole adult dates a high schooler thing. Is that what this show is about? Not exactly. Hige no Soru is about two people who are lost in the world, one is struggling with living simply to work while the other can't understand the struggles and crulties of becoming a young adult. The two give each other a reason to live, hence how it takes on romantic connotations as the story goes on but that certainly isn't the focus unless your really not paying attention😅(the clues in the name of the show 'I shaved and took in a highschool', the title is litterally telling you this is a show about finding a reason to live better) I've got a spoiler free section on my review both here and on the YouTube's if you want the longer answer👍. Squidcub3000 said: Yep what first commenter posted. At first seemed like it was going to show sensitive subjects (that sadly often happen irl) in a very mature and different way than I expected going in. But then by the end 25 yo in love with 15 yo 🤡 Deane said: It starts out great, with the main character taking care of a high schooler who ran away from home.

With respect these are all some pretty shallow takes, in terms of romance, what about it do you find so hard to believe that two people giving each other a home and a reason to live, falling in love - so outraging?😅😅. And there nothing forced about the drama, the opposite in fact, it's well foreshadowed, within our understanding of the characters involved and enacted on in a reasonable manner Both with the drama and the romance they are well written, sincere and within the logic of the involved characters. Not liking something doesn't make it bad, just means it wasn't the story you wanted to see. Hope that helps👍👍. |

Great answer, glad to see someone else in this thread actually got the heartfelt and kind messages of the anime😅. By the way if you put [spoiler] and then [/spoil€r] around an answer it adds the proper hidden label😉😊👍. |

| People really like to overreact at these stuff What's the big deal in dating a high school girl if you have her consent ? Do you think disliking this would make you look noble |
I love Monogatari Series |
| Not even close.. it's about a girl who ran away from house and did ecchi stuff to live in men's house until she meets a man who is a good person and the story revolves around him teaching her right and wrong in society and making her go back to her house.. a really wholesome father daughter relationship with Japan's social issues mentioned |
Stawberry Milk Supremacy  |
| technically it’s the other way. she falls in love with the 'old' guy. |

Do you think disliking this would make you look noble I don't think it's a case of people thinking disliking it to make them look better, the problem was how they presented it. It started out with a story about a kind man trying to fix a broken girl. She sold her body to multiple people to get there and forgot that her life has actual value. First half of the show is mostly about this: MC acting as a father figure and helping her get her life together... But then he falls in love with her. I don't think the problem was the adult dating the highschooler. It's anime, and if the high schooler is mentally mature, then I don't have a problem with it (for example, I really enjoyed Gal Gohan, which is about a high school girl in love with her teacher). The problem for me, and I imagine for most people, is how the story wasn't about that in the beginning. The story is set up as a wholesome romance/drama where Yoshida helps Sayu fix her problems and becomes a better person as a result, but then it devolves into a story where every single girl falls in love with him just because he's slightly nice, and a single speech from him fixes most problems. I also think that Sayu's backstory and family drama was terribly written, but well you could say that's subjective. With all the mentions of fate the story was giving us, I was pretty certain that Yoshida would end up with Sayu in the end. I just think the execution was terrible. |

But to me it never seemed like the boss lady actually loved him. She was just messing around because his life was kinda interesting. If you look back at it you'll realise that |

If you look back at it you'll realise that I disagree, I think she did love him but just "felt it wasn't meant to be", meaning Yoshida was 'fated' to be with Sayu. If she hadn't rejected him, he wouldn't have met her, so I think it was meant to be fate. That's just my opinion though, and if you interpreted it different that's completely ok :D |

But people who like the show will defending this show regardless all of that. You better watch it yourself and then decide it yourself. At least 3 ep could give you a grismp of what this show could present.

As I put it in my own post above There really is nothing unusual about them falling in love. The entire show revolves around them fixing each other lives, Yoshida is fu*ked at the begining, he's just better at hiding it because that's what adults do. It not being clearly a Romance at the start impressed me if anything because that's how romance works in the real world more often then not. Not one look and both fall for each other but as a slow over time sort of thing. I Tottally get it if you didn't like that but it doesn't make it bad or a bad ending, the set-up was plenty there and if anything the drama is well foreshadowed, with-in what we know of the characters and complete possible so as you mentioned yourself it's a subjective issue, not one with the quality of the writing.👍👍 ((Also can we all keep in mind that when we say 'romance' we are literally referring to Sayu's crush and one after credits scene that can easily be interprited as two people happy to see each other after 2 years. They never even hold hands or kiss for god sake😅😅)) |

Tonethebone said: I’ve heard great things about this show, but I’m not into the whole adult dates a high schooler thing. Is that what this show is about? He likes her. He just resists because she's jailbait. Harem ending at the conclusion. Worth a watch in fast forward. But not at normal speed. tobythesandwich said: The show went downhill and then ended super poorly. This being a big reason of course. Should’ve just had him bang the high schooler sooner rather than giving us the father figure schtick which made the final result kinda creepy. That being said, probably the show I’ve rated lowest of all time. He seriously should have laid the pipe within 30 minutes of meeting her. Then they fall in love, the end. Or they fall in love, and he outright tells her he wants to bang her but will go to jail until she's old enough. No father schtick. |

The show set out a strong premise with some interesting characters in the first half. Then shat on all of that in the second. In short, if you like being disappointed it's a recommended watch. |
