About My Little Monster

Meet My Little Monster (となりの怪物くん), a comedy, romance and slice of life anime by Brain's Base (2012). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Standoffish, reclusive Shizuku Mizutani cares far more about earning stellar grades than cultivating friendships. But her opinions on friendship and relationships begin to change when she runs into habitual truant Haru Yoshida, who happens to have a rather fearsome reputation.

Another thread: Like Shizuku, Haru’s reputation has made it difficult to make companions. Yet through their budding friendship and stirrings of attraction the unlikely pair learns to understand one another, the world around them, and the tenor of their own emotions.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Haruka Tomatsu as Shizuku Mizutani and Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Haru Yoshida. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Brain's Base, so the studio's house style defines how My Little Monster looks and moves on screen. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. A 7.2/10 score points to a dependable, well-liked series. Voice casting, including Haruka Tomatsu as Shizuku Mizutani, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2012, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
