Kakushigoto

Right now you can watch Kakushigoto in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Hiroshi Kamiya sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Crunchyroll.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Kakushigoto is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Kakushigoto land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Single father Kakushi Goto has a secret. He’s a top-selling artist of popular erotic manga, but his impressionable young daughter, Hime, can never find out! Now he’s having to bend over backwards just to keep her inquisitive little mind from discovering what he does for a living. Between them, Hiroshi Kamiya and Rie Takahashi carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Kakushigoto premiered in 2020. What keeps Kakushigoto from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Kakushigoto. The tonal similarities to Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory are real, though Kakushigoto carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Hiroshi Kamiya anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Kakushigoto wrapped up in 2020 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
