Hiatari Ryoukou! English Sub & Dub

About Hiatari Ryoukou!

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Hiatari Ryoukou! (陽あたり良好！) deserves a look (1987). The setup goes like this. At its core: Kishimoto Kasumi, a 15-year-old girl, was supposed to live at her auntie's house in order to go to high school since April. However, when she moved to the house she was surprised with the fact that there were already four new male pupils living in the same house.

From there, to make the matter worse, that day while she was taking a bath, Takasugi Yusaku, one of those boys, came into the bath and saw her naked. This is how Kasumi's troublesome high school days started.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kasumi Kishimoto (Yumi Morio) and Chigusa Mizusawa (Kazue Komiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 48 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
