Black hair and pale yellow skin. Tanaka is no less than a weird ghost. He is the lazy guy who is listless everywhere. Sleep and rest are his foremost priority. Then how does he get by?
Ohta: The Reliable Best Friend
Tanaka’s dependable friend, Ohta, is always by his side. Despite his tall, intimidating frame, Ohta is incredibly kind. He’s the ultimate best friend and, arguably, perfect husband material. He’s skilled at cooking, always ready to help, and can literally lift Tanaka with ease, what more could you ask for?
A Life of Laziness
The anime revolves around Tanaka and Ohta, showcasing their everyday high school life. Tanaka has an uncanny ability to fall asleep anywhere, anytime. A cozy spot in the classroom? Nap time. A quiet corner? Perfect for a quick snooze. His laziness is on another level.
At home, it’s no different. Tanaka’s little sister handles most of the household tasks. She looks almost exactly like him and, like everyone else, has grown used to his listless nature.
The Cast of Characters
The show also introduces a delightful cast of supporting characters:
- A short girl with long hair
- A tsundere blonde girl
- A sophisticated classmate with a crush on Tanaka
- Tanaka’s and Ohta’s sisters
- Their high school classmates
Why You Should Watch
Tanaka-kun is always listless and is one of the slow-paced, slice-of-life anime, which you will enjoy due to its chilling vibes and the somewhat relateable Tanaka, who is lazy and listless beyond measure. I would recommend this anime as anyone and everyone can enjoy it.
