About 1-gatsu ni wa Christmas

Here is what 1-gatsu ni wa Christmas (1月にはChristmas) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama, romance and slice of life anime by Magic Bus (1991). At its core: Nobumasa is a boy who works part-time in a shoe store, where he runs into Mizuki, a girl whose abusive family life has left her unable to trust other people. Meanwhile, Nobumasa is unaware that another girl, Seiko, has a crush on him but is unable to express her feelings.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Mizuki Tateno (Megumi Hayashibara) and Junshou Fujioka (Takehito Koyasu) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
