Hannari Girori no Yoriko-san (2018)

Slow, slice-of-life show

This is a short, sweet show, about a writer that goes to Kyoto and meets up with a girl working in a tobacco shop. The story is told in a quiet and leisurely pace. There isn't a lot of emotion, either in the script or the actors, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's out of his element, and she has some issues from her past, and this is basically about them getting to know one another. A lot of the time we are just privy to their conversations as they walk along the streets of Kyoto. She gives him the history of the town, and you can tell that he is fascinated by what he is learning about this charming place. Since there wasn't much going on, four episodes was the perfect amount without drawing it out unnecessarily. There was a hopeful ending, not great, but in line with the rest of the show.
