Where to Watch Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway in the UK

Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway has built a reputation that precedes it, and right now it's all available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel. Kazuyuki Okitsu leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway operates well above the animated series average. On his way home from drinking his sorrows away after being rejected by his crush, 26 year old salaryman Yoshida finds a high school girl named Sayu sitting on the side of the road and ends up letting her stay at his place overnight. Not having the heart to put the runaway out on the streets, Yoshida allows her to stay at his place... And so began the awkward, irritable, and slightly heartwarming relationship between a runaway high school girl and a salaryman living together. Kazuyuki Okitsu and Kana Ichinose lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2021.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway works equally well for viewers who don't typically seek out animated series — fans of The Adventures of the Little Prince will feel at home. The medium is secondary to the quality.
