About Hirayasumi
Hiroto Ikuta is 29, works part time, has no girlfriend and, strangely, no anxiety about any of it. He befriended Hanae Wada, a blunt grandmother from his Asagaya neighbourhood who shared dinner with him twice a week, and when she passed her single-story house on to him, he simply moved in and carried on at his own pace. Then his 18 year old cousin Natsumi arrives from Yamagata to attend art school in Tokyo, serious, shy and quietly dreaming of drawing manga. Her worries rub against his calm, and the little house fills with neighbours, old friends and small, warm problems. Hirayasumi is a slow, kind slice of life about doing your best at an unhurried pace, set between Asagaya and Koenji in Tokyo. Production +h. animates, Kei Suezawa directs and writes, Naoyuki Asano designs the characters and Kaori Sawada composes the music. VIZ Media co-produces, and the series premieres on Netflix worldwide and NHK General in January 2027.
