Cool Doji Danshi

Shiki Souma, Mima Takayuki, Igarashi Motoharu, Ichikura Hayate and Futami Shun all have one thing in common besides being a male. They're both really clumsy, not in the sense where they'd fall 24 7 but they get into embarassing situations tons of times per day. You know when your pants aren't perfectly zipped and everyone notices besides you ? That's their everyday life. You're looking for a warm and wholesome anime ? Cool Doji Danshi should be the perfect match ! The episodes are short yet always fun to watch and without noticing you'll be hooked to this cute story! The characters will all meet your expectations and if you're into Ikemen, or some cute japanese heart throbs well, this is the right one for sure! Our 5 characters have very specific personalities, we have the stylish guy Shiki Souma, Mima Takayuki the office worker, Igarashi Motoharu the popular writer, Ichikura Hayate the university student who's not so sure of himself and finally Futami Shun the atheltic guy. They all deal with their embarassing yet cute clumsiness differently and as you'll watch you'll either have a favorite or you'll love all of them ! The art is like the story, simple. But the style being a bit plain makes you want to add details to them. It's like wearing a white outfit and craving to add an accessory ! Which makes it even more endearing xD The characters communicate very well together and they have such an affectionate and adorable relationship together. It's comforting, soft and VERY heart warming. Whenever one of them feels down there's always another helping them to feel better (if not all of them). This anime is THE comfort anime. This anime soothes me and even if the plot is simple this is proof that "the simplier the better" should be more praised. It's effective and it gives what every anime should give, comfort! So if you're searching for some endearing characters and beautiful art style this is the one !

Awesome anime that is so comforting to watch. Made me laugh out loud at times and left me with a bittersweet feeling when it ended because I loved it so much I never wanted it to end. Has great messages for people at different periods in their lives and watching it feels like getting a hug. Highly recommend watching it. :) only writing this cuz the system made me do more: art style def fit the story, characters were very well-rounded even if they initially seemed one dimensional they quickly proved there was more to them than you would expect at first, characters reacted to stuff very realistically (almost too much making me feel like I related too much sometimes XD), I'd say the story seems both unique and generic as nothing much happens but a lot happens at the same time just like it usually is with slice of life stuff. I don't think it's possible to actually dislike this anime it just may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Every episode was so healing and endearing, lovely characters with a refreshing plot. I was able to see myself in several situations they faced and it left me with a relieved feeling all over. My happy place 💜 When I thought I couldn’t laugh more they showed me wrong, simply hilarious. This is great comedy that makes you rethink about how we see ourselves at the same time. Truly recommend it if you want something unique, interesting, funny and with amazing background with each character. My favorite thing about this anime is how they met each other and the circumstances they were in. Epic.

If you are looking for a series that can relax and make you laugh, then "Play it cool, guys" or "Cool Doji Danshi" is the right series for you. It is a shoujo slice of life and comic series about 5 very cool Boys and Men, but also quite awkward and messy. The plot is nothing revolutionary: Only 5 very handsome and clumsy boys and men struggling with everyday life who one day meet and become friends. Yet each episode manages to keep you glued to the screen. All thanks to 2 fundamental elements in my opinion: 1) The 5 protagonists, each with a unique personalities and a different way of living and facing their own clumsiness. Needless to say, I grew fond of each of them. 2) The not excessive length that never makes the episodes boring or heavy. However, I've lost count of the times I've wished the episodes were longer XD I will definitely re-watch this series over and over again (while I wait for them to make a hypothetical 2nd season) because it became one of my comfort series, and watching it makes me feel at peace. I recommend this series to everyone who is looking for a relaxing, funny and very sweet series :D
