Tsubaki Biyori
Summary
Ever since Tsubaki Tarou, who lives alone in the city, was coincidentally reunited with his childhood friend Hiraiwa who is now divorced (with a child), his life started to subtly change. Tsubaki naturally integrates himself into Hiraiwa and Fumio's family, slowly adding colour to their lives. A heart-warming story depicting the warm interaction between people and their tender lives.

















... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
