Where to Watch Koikimo in New Zealand

Koikimo has been quietly earning a loyal audience, 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. Yurie Kozakai leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Japanese production values give Koikimo a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. One rainy day, salaryman Amakusa Ryo is saved by a high school girl he doesn't know at the station. He later finds out that the girl is Arima Ichika. Ryo is somewhat of a womanizer and to repay her for saving him, he suggests giving her a kiss or going out on a date with her, in which Ichika tells him he's creepy. Yurie Kozakai and Toshiyuki Toyonaga lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2021.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Koikimo is a strong candidate — fans of The Adventures of the Little Prince will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
