If you are looking for a high school anime with pure fluff and no drama, then look no more because Skip and Loafer is the definition of wholesomeness. The series introduces Mitsumi, a country girl who shifts to Tokyo to pursue higher education.
In Tokyo, Mitsumi meets Sosuke, a happy-go-lucky guy who doesn’t take things as seriously as Mitsumi. Yet, both become fast friends and make an ‘ikemen-country bumpkin’ combo. This duo is about to make their anime debut soon.
Skip and Loafer, the simple but cute manga by Misaki Takamztsu, is inspiring an anime series. I can’t tell you how excited I am about it (eeee!).
The trailer is another testament to the anime’s simplicity. It shows Mitsumi’s first day at high school in Tokyo.
Unfortunately, while indulging in her fantasies of the future, she had forgotten that she was new to the city and knew nothing about it. To no one’s surprise, she gets lost.
Thankfully, she is found by Sosuke, who guides her to school. On their way, Sosuke is fascinated by Mitsumi and decides to be friends with her.
The cast members of Mitsumi and Sosuke have been revealed:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Mitsumi Iwakura | Tomoyo Kurosawa | Otome Arisugawa (Aikatsu!) |
| Sоsuke Shima | Akinori Egoshi | Dexter (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 2) |
Studio P.A. Works is handling the animation production of Skip and Loafer and the main staff members are also out:
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director and Series Composition | Kotomi Deai | Natsume’s Book of Friends |
| Character Design | Manami Umeshita | (Stella Women’s Academy |
| Music Composer | Takatsugu Wakabayashi | Dragonar Academy |
Mitsumi is an oddball at best and spends her time striving towards her goal to better the world. She has her whole life planned, unlike some of us (me).
Skip and Loafer is a lighthearted series that will show you the delights of high school life. If you are tired of high-strung dramas and adrenaline-filled action anime, this series is the place to rest and recharge.
