Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway

After drowning his sorrows following a rejection by his crush, 26-year-old salaryman Yoshida is on his way home when he spots Sayu, an 18-year-old runaway, seated by the roadside. He cannot bring himself to turn her away and invites her to spend the night at his apartment. Thus begins an awkward, prickly, and unexpectedly tender cohabitation between two adults—a salaryman and a runaway woman—as they navigate fragile boundaries, dependence, and the slow warm glow of an unconventional bond.
