About Hakumei to Mikochi

★ 7.7 · 12 Episodes · TV · alcohol, alternative world

Small-scale living gets a richly textured treatment in Hakumei to Mikochi, a 12-episode TV series from the winter 2018 season. Its alternative-world setting mixes anthropomorphic animals, chibi character design, cooking, alcohol, and even crime, creating a curious balance between domestic comfort and occasional unease. Anachronisms give the setting a deliberately offbeat flavor, while the manga source keeps the storytelling focused on everyday details rather than a single grand quest. Studio Lerche shapes those details into a gentle viewing experience with room for food, friendship, and strange local customs to sit beside one another. The 7.7 score suggests a warmly received, more specialized kind of charm. It suits viewers who enjoy atmosphere and unusual settings, though its quiet pace may test anyone seeking constant action.
