About Yutori-chan

Looking for background on Yutori-chan (ゆとりちゃん)? This comedy and slice of life series by Actas (2009) starts out like this. In short: Comedy anime about the generation gaps. The three main characters represent the major generations of Japanese; Yutori (teenagers), Tsumekomi (20-30s) and Dankai (middle age).

More of the story: Tsumekomi-chan is an office worker in a toy company and supervises the part-time working student Yutori-chan. She tries to get along with Yutori-chan but her selfish behavior typical of the Yutori generation is incomprehensible.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Yutori Tanaka (Aoi Yuuki) and Shiori Tsumekomi (Kana Hanazawa) 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. The run is 25 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
