Hirayasumi, 2025, series of 20 short and wonderful videos on Prime

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37810816/

Hiroto does his best to get through life with his family and friends.


Quirky and sweet
Based on a manga of the same name, the twenty, twenty-minute episodes of this comedy follow two cousins who move into a "hiraya" (a small Japanese one-level house). Both are socially awkward to a nearly debilitating degree and overly self-conscious in some matters. Yet, their defense of their individuality and support for each other, and interacting among a growing circle of diverse friends and co-workers, makes their life seem idyllic. Very cute, well acted, and beautifully written.

1. Without a trailer, how in heck can you check it out, and on Amazon Prime you have to pay for it first

Geez.

Anyway.

What have you seen that you’ve enjoyed lately? Do you have any great favorites you would like to share? You don’t need to include a trailer.

Cheers

Here is a trailer for a manga that inspired the film. Or possibly the other way around.




I found some comfort in it. Hope others may too. ( The film, not the manga. I haven’t read the manga.)
