hii!! here are some of my favorite slice of life jdrama that should match 🫶🏼🫶🏼 (in no particular order)
- nichiyo no yoru gurai wa... is about the unlikely friendships and the love we find in the small things. it's a story about how joy is possible, a reminder that there's joy to be found even in the most unexpected places and the most hopeless moments
- brush up life is a heartwarming comedy about life, friendships and time travel. it's hilarious, clever and has SO much heart
- hot spot is silly, cozy, and clever. it's essentially about a group of middle-aged friends gossiping while the most absurd stuff happens in the background
- tengu no daidokoro is a quiet and sweet slice of life about connection, family and self-discovery. two lovely seasons that feel like the warmest of hugs
- koisenu futari is tender, compassionate and incredibly dear to me. it's a nuanced exploration of asexuality, love and the meaning of family (subject to change)
- fune wo amu is a beautiful celebration of language, of the immense power of words in the face of distance and time. it's incredibly beloved to me and my favorite adaptation of the original novel
- kashimashi meshi is all about the joy of a shared meal with the people you love, how the dinner table brings us together and warms both our stomach and hearts
- ichiban suki na hana is a thoughtful show about the conversations of four people who don't fit into conventional relationships. quiet, introspective and so personal it'll feel like you're sharing a cup of coffee with the unlikely group of friends while reflecting on your own connections
- juuhan shuttai! is an energetic and sweet show about passion, perseverance and the people who work hard behind the scenes to bring stories to life
- konto ga hajimaru captures the bittersweetness of young adulthood, friendship and the search for purpose. it's funny, vulnerable and deeply human
- the makanai is a gentle series that celebrates food, tradition and the bonds between women. the production is stunning and it's a warm comforting watch
