About In This Corner of the World

If you are hunting for a new drama series, In This Corner of the World (この世界の片隅に) deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. In short: The story follows a young lady named Suzu Urano, who in 1944 moves to the small town of Kure in Hiroshima to live with her husband's family. Suzu's life is thrown into chaos when her town is bombed during World War II.

From there, her perseverance and courage underpin this heart-warming and inspirational tale of the everyday challenges faced by the Japanese in the midst of a violent, war-torn country. This beautiful yet poignant tale shows that even in the face of adversity and loss, people can come together and rebuild their lives.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Suzu Houjou (Rena Nounen) and San Houjou (Mayumi Shintani) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
