Rainbow Days

Four high school friends approach romance with very different levels of confidence, turning ordinary crushes and constant interference into an ensemble comedy.

Synopsis

The Anime Lad

Natsuki develops a crush on Anna after she offers him tissues during a miserable Christmas Eve. His three friends treat this private feeling as a group assignment. Their assistance is rarely requested and never quiet. The short format keeps moving between hesitant romance and the practical inconvenience of having friends who consider every crush communal property.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Natsuki meets Anna after a Christmas Eve breakup and falls immediately. His three closest friends notice. Privacy ends. Short episodes follow awkward advances and aggressive coaching while the other boys pursue romances of their own. Four very different approaches to love create one shared supply of avoidable embarrassment.

Gigguku

Natsuki gets a sweet first meeting with Anna, then his friends charge into the situation like romance requires a committee! Every boy brings a different kind of confidence, and none of it guarantees useful advice. The short episodes keep the interference moving, so one shy crush quickly becomes a whole group comedy about friendship with absolutely no respect for privacy.

Father's Basement

The four boys begin as loudly drawn romantic comedy types, and some of their behavior deserves immediate confiscation. The compact episodes keep those traits from sitting still for long. Natsuki's crush on Anna supplies a gentle center while his friends turn ordinary uncertainty into shared business. The appeal comes from meddling friendship more than elaborate plotting.

Nijiiro Days follows the colorful lives and romantic relationships of four high school boys, Natsuki Hashiba, a dreamer with delusions of love, Tomoya Matsunaga, a narcissistic playboy who has multiple girlfriends, Keiichi Katakura, a kinky sadist who always carries a whip, and Tsuyoshi Naoe, an otaku who has a cosplaying girlfriend. When his girlfriend unceremoniously dumps him on Christmas Eve, Natsuki breaks down in tears in the middle of the street and is offered tissues by a girl in a Santa Claus suit.
