Non Non Biyori

Non Non Biyori is a slice-of-life TV anime produced by SILVER LINK., directed by Shinya Kawamo, with series composition by Reiko Yoshida. Based on the manga by Atto, the series follows Hotaru Ichijou, a city girl who transfers to a quiet rural school, as she builds heartfelt friendships with Renge Miyauchi, Komari Koshigaya, Natsumi Koshigaya, and others. With its gentle pacing and richly detailed countryside scenery, Non Non Biyori captures the beauty of everyday moments that city life often overlooks. A must-watch for fans seeking a warm, calming escape into the simplicity of rural childhood.

City life is all Hotaru Ichijou has ever known—but when her family relocates to a quiet rural village far from Tokyo, she finds herself navigating a world that couldn't feel more different. The nearest manga shop requires a lengthy trip, entertainment options are scarce, and her entire school population fits in a single small classroom. Yet despite the dramatic change of scenery, there's an unhurried charm to countryside living that gradually begins to win her over. Surrounded by open fields and fresh air, Hotaru gets ready to build new bonds with the locals she meets: the curious Renge Miyauchi, the petite Komari Koshigaya, the energetic Natsumi Koshigaya, and the quiet Suguru Koshigaya. A slower pace of life doesn't mean an empty one—for Hotaru, a wealth of unforgettable moments in this little village is only just beginning.
