About Non Non Biyori

Non Non Biyori (のんのんびより) blends slice of life by SILVER LINK. (2013). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: When Hotaru moves from Tokyo to a tiny town in the rural countryside, she’s in for some serious culture shock: the nearest place that sells comics is 20 minutes away, the nearest video store is ten train stations down the line. Even though everything’s so different, there’s something about the laid-back atmosphere that makes her feel strangely comfortable.

As things develop, while she’ll certainly miss parts of her old life, there’s a whole lifetime of experiences waiting to be enjoyed with her new companions Renge, Komari, Natsumi, and Suguru!

In a slice of life series like this, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Voice work is led by Rie Murakawa as Hotaru Ichijou and Ayane Sakura as Natsumi Koshigaya. This one is best suited to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
