All the time? I dont know why I even explained that since its pretty clear but there are few other things that also happens while hes being listless. Tanaka is the embodiment of laziness. Think of every trait you know about a lazy person Tanaka has it. Hes lazy introverted and dont even care to do even the basic humans needs like eating. All he ever does and wants is a peaceful lazy life where noone nothing can interrupt him from his listlessness. But alas thats just a pipe dream since he always has his friend Ohta by his side. Ohta carries him around to school Ohta helps him to eat hardtoeat foods like fish Ohta takes him to the doctor when hes sick Ohtas strong reliable caring to keep it in the words of Tanaka himself: imagehttps://i.ur.com/Vb1L6TE.jpeghttps://anilist.co/anime/21495/TanakakunisAlwaysListless/ Apart from Ohta there are other people who makes his life more miserable for him. They are: 1. Myano. She is a cute energetic chibi character whom youve probably seen in gifs like these imagehttps://i.ur.com/FtJktGe.gifhttps://anilist.co/anime/21495/TanakakunisAlwaysListless/ Myano mistakens Tanakas listeness calmness with maturity and admires him. Myano wants to be a mature woman to become a worthy companion for the one she loves. 2. Then theres Echizen or cutely put Ecchan. Ecchan is a delinquent a rowdy tomboy who likes cute things Ohtas childhood friend and spoiler alert is the one Myanos talking about. After finding that Myano admires Tanaka Ecchan goes out her way and challenges him to prove his worth of being an admirable man which as you can tell doesnt end the way she thinks. 3. And then theres Shiraishi the class rep and school idol. I think those words suffices her character but theres little more to her than just that. And by the end of her character episode she ends up falling for Tanaka. And there are other characters like his little sister Rino How do you think he can live without someone else? and his other classmates who are aware of Tanakas lazy lifestyle. There are many things to write about the Anime like the warm color pallet cute artstyle gorgeous backgrounds soothing OSTs and just the overall relaxing feel the show carries but whats really unique about the show is Tanaka our MC. Tanaka is pretty much the projection of our laziness he highlights all the pointless problems lazy people will face like not able to eat snacks just because they cant stretch their hand to grab them on table sleeping while ignoring their own hunger etc which is pretty accurate even if its for comedic effects. Hes a character whos deemed to fail as protagonist but what makes his character likeable is how hes self aware of himself and this really shows during his conversations with other characters whether it be comedic or serious. He doesnt have a character development but he has some level of character depth and understanding about his own flaws and about everyone around him. The one and only big drawback this Anime has is the romantic subplot between Shiraishi and Tanaka. The cute romantic relationship Shiraishi tries to build between herself and Tanaka comes in the way of the calm and relaxing theme of the show. Its cute and is definitely entertaining to watch but this romance is trying to build character growth or development that is forced on both the characters which feels a lot like nuisance than a cute romance. Not to mention the Anime ended without any clear resolution of the romance and just stopped A Go read the Manga ending. Summary This is a relaxing Anime with so much feel goodness that helps you just chill and might even make you fall asleep as thats the aim of an Iyashieki Anime but suffers with unnecessary romance. And finally what I want to say is BE LAZY. LIVE CRAZY Bye Bye imagehttps://i.ur.com/CbSa9hL.gifhttps://anilist.co/anime/21495/TanakakunisAlwaysListless/
