But our hero has his luck: Nagisa Kubo, the best girl in his class, is aware of his existance. Junta Shiraishi leads a very quiet life with his "curse" of being invisible to everyone they don't notice him on his classrooms, they don't see him buying stuff.even on his school photo the poor dude was left out because they thought he was absent during that day when he was clearly visable on the photo. ![]() All romcoms have their MC stand out on one thing and our little guy doesn't I'm a person who speaks from the heart, words are not my thing so please, bear with me on this one. Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai is an example of money that can be used elsewhere. ![]() You give it a cute artstyle to hide the subtle imperfection to trick people into thinking this is quality. The Romcom genre is one of the most exploited genres to make a quick buck: Introduce the worthless MC, pair him with the best girl of the school and stuff 24 minutes with overused tropes. It won’t blow your mind, but if you’re into this genre I would recommend it. Sure, it’s “another one of those” slice-of-life high school romcoms where the girl's feelings towards the male lead are obvious to the oblivious male lead, but I never once thought “I wish these two would just hurry up and confess to each other already” which in my opinion, is a sign of a good “another one of those”. Honestly, that whole episode is this show's biggest flaw.ĭespite some questionable writing decisions, overall, Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible is a very wholesome show with a lot going for it. Her elder sister Akina is funny and very good at getting under both her sister and Shiraishi’s skin, but she’s a bit too willing to get hammered and make advances on Shiraishi (a minor) which feels very out of character for her, uncomfortable and out of place in this very wholesome anime. ![]() Kubo’s family are a little more of a mixed bag. We learn more about Shiraishi through his pure, innocent and wide-eyed little brother who thinks his big brother is just the coolest when he does superhero poses for him. The visual gags stand out as fantastic thanks to the show’s (and the manga it’s adapting) simple yet strong and beautiful art and animation adapted by secretly underrated Studio Pine Jam. Kubo and Shiraishi’s interactions are very wholesome and the gags and goofs are fun thanks to some incredible (sub) voice-acting talent and a surprisingly beautiful soundtrack. The story is very light-hearted and charming. ![]() Although, her being the only person who can notice him suits her just fine, and can you guess why? That’s right, she does have a very obvious crush on him for some reason. Of course, the only person who can see the seemingly invisible Shiraishi is classmate and desk neighbour, Nagisa Kubo who is endlessly fascinated by Shiraishi’s lack of presence to others around him and gains gleeful entertainment out of watching him interact with a world seemingly parallel to his own or the world's reaction to his presence whenever he goes out of his way to be noticed. people around him, to the point where his classmates believe he's an urban school legend, is very funny and the show gets a lot of mileage out of that premise. However, just because it is “another one of those” doesn’t mean it’s not good, and the central gimmick of the protagonist, Shiraishi is such a nothing nobody of a background character that he might as well be invisible to the Between all the slice-of-life high school romcom’s about cute popular girls poking and prodding lonely, insecure and gloomy protagonists out of their shells that you’ve probably watched in the past couple of years, I wouldn’t blame you if you looked at Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible and thought “Yep, that sure is another one of those”, which it is, just to clarify.
