About Ojisan and Marshmallow

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Ojisan and Marshmallow (Ojisan to Marshmallow) deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. The premise: Habahiro Hige is a simple-minded older man who works an office job and is an enthusiast of Tabekko Marshmallows. His days often consist of being teased by his 24-year-old colleague Iori Wakabayashi, who uses his obsession to her advantage: from eating them in front of his face, to buying out his favorite brand from the convenience store.

Beyond that: Although her friends cannot fathom what she sees in him, she just cannot get over his marshmallow-like, fluffy frame. No matter the lengths it takes, Iori will find a way to get his attention. Little does Habahiro know that she is attempting to seduce him into a romantic relationship with her.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.
