Tanaka-kun is Always Listless

Tanaka-kun is Always Listless is a TV anime adaptation of the manga by ウダノゾミ, blending comedy and slice-of-life into a uniquely relaxing viewing experience. Follow the endlessly languid Tanaka and his dependable best friend Oota as they navigate everyday school life at the most unhurried pace imaginable. Joined by the lively Miyano, the composed Shiraishi, and a charming cast of classmates, the series delivers warmth and gentle humor in every episode. Produced by SILVER LINK., with direction by Shinya Kawatsura and series composition by Akemi Omode, this is the perfect anime for anyone seeking a calm, comforting escape from the everyday hustle.

Welcome to the laid-back world of Tanaka, a high schooler who has turned laziness into an art form. His uncanny ability to doze off at a moment's notice—regardless of time or place—is matched only by his unwavering commitment to avoiding any situation that demands real effort. For Tanaka, the perfect day is one where absolutely nothing happens, and he goes to great lengths to keep it that way. Fortunately, his reliable friend Oota is always nearby, ready to lend a hand whenever Tanaka finds a task too demanding to tackle on his own. Yet despite his best efforts, the uneventful existence Tanaka craves seems perpetually out of reach, as life has a funny way of throwing unexpected disruptions his way. This slice-of-life comedy follows one thoroughly unmotivated teenager's ongoing—and often hilarious—quest for total, uninterrupted tranquility.
