Synopsis

Maeda has just moved into his new apartment to live by himself. While unpacking, a cute middle school student named Chie Satonaka suddenly appears in his room. She introduces herself as his new landlord, which pleasantly surprises him as he has never seen a landlord so young. His excitement is boosted further when the gorgeous Reiko Shirai, who lives directly next to him, also introduces herself as his new neighbor. Ooyasan wa Shishunki! follows the everyday lives of Maeda and his newfound acquaintances, where each day presents itself as an opportunity for new events to unfold and new bonds to be forged.

Audience Consensus

Audience reception is mixed, with some finding it a cute and quick way to pass the time, while others are put off by the shallow story and potentially problematic humor. The short episode length is both a pro and a con, making it easy to finish but also limiting its potential. Overall, it's considered a lighthearted but unremarkable series.

Strengths

Weaknesses

  • Story is very short and lacks depth.
