About Himegoto

Meet Himegoto (ひめゴト), a comedy, ecchi and slice of life anime by Asahi Production (2014). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: The story follows Hime Arikawa, a boy who is being chased down by scary people. However, he is rescued from danger by the girls in his school's student council — 18-Kin-san, President Unko, and Beru-senpai.

Along the way, the pupil council will assume Arikawa's debt under one condition: "As the pupil council's dog, you will spend your high school life in women's clothes."

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. 18-kin (Yuka Saotome) and Unko (Saki Ono) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
