About Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Here is what Sing "Yesterday" for Me (Yesterday wo Utatte) is about, retold in plain terms: a romance, slice of life and seinen anime by Doga Kobo (2020). What the story covers: Rikuo Uozumi has all but resigned himself to a bleak future, aimlessly working at a convenience store in Tokyo after graduating from college. His monotonous life is interrupted when the peculiar Haru Nonaka makes a lively appearance, frequently dropping by his workplace to befriend him.

As things develop, when Rikuo learns that an old college friend and crush, Shinako Morinome, has moved back into town, he reaches out to further their relationship. Unbeknownst to Rikuo however, Shinako is carrying painful memories from her past that were holding her back from accepting his feelings. Meanwhile, as Haru continually opens up to Rikuo, he discovers that she, much like him, is living by herself and aims to step out of her comfort zone into an uncertain future.

In a romance series like this, slow-burn chemistry and believable dialogue are what keep it engaging. If you count yourself among viewers who enjoy relationship-driven stories, put it on your list.
