Non Non Biyori
To the average observer, Asahigaoka might appear like an ordinary village; however, five students of varying ages occupy the only class in the only school in this small town, so no day in this village can ever be considered boring. Renge Miyauchi, a first-grader, brings wit, curiosity, and her characteristic phrase, “Nyanpasu!” to the classroom. The Koshigaya family consists of the quiet ninth grader and older brother Suguru, the diminutive eighth grader Komari, and the mischievous seventh grader Natsumi.
This lively and vibrant group of five classmates is completed by Tokyo-raised fifth grader Hotaru Ichijou, who appears overdeveloped for her age and thus exudes a sense of maturity. Non Non Biyori is based on a manga by Atto that chronicles the everyday lives of a group of close friends who engage in harmless fun and frolic while battling the challenges of living in the countryside.
