Koikimo is the latest iteration to the slice-of-life rom-com formula that doesn’t stand out for doing something much than other anime of its kind. However, even though the premise is quite controversial and morally questionable, to say the least, Koikimo portrays a simple and surprisingly very sweet story. In addition, Koikimo is one of the few anime where wholesomeness and cute interaction will keep you wanting for another episode.
Synopsis: 27-year-old Ryou Amakusa is a capable and good-looking young man who works in a corporate office. One day, while going to work, he was saved by a high school girl from falling down the stairs, who even gave him her lunch out of concern. Later that day, they both meet again, as she happens to be the friend of his little sister, Rio. Wanting to repay her for her kindness, Ryou offers his own body to her. To which she made a creeped out face and bluntly decline his offer. However, instead of being discouraged, Ryou ends up falling for her.
For an anime of its kind, Koikimo has no real downsides when watching. Actually, KoiKimo is one to put on your list if you are a fan of the genre, that is if you aren’t opposed to the slice-of-life romance genre with an “age-gap” type story. And if you are looking for more anime with a similar theme, then look no further. Here are some anime similar to Koikimo (Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui).
