I don't want to go on living the boring life of a celestial forever.



Momokuri is a comedy show about a newly formed couple. There was a web-only anime short series originally, but now they're making a version for TV with two 10 minute shorts making one episode. It airs on Crunchyroll on Fridays!

The Characters:



Kurihara Yuki is the Kuri of Momokuri. Kuri, a second year, fell in love with Momo at first sight, but is too shy to talk to him! Instead, she ends up stalking him, taking hidden camera photos for her "Momo-kun Photo Collection". After she reachs her goal of taking a hundred hidden camera pictures of him, she decides to confess that she likes him, and they start going out. Even after her confession, she continues to stalk him, cause the thirst is real.



Momotsuki Shinya is the Momo of Momokuri. He's a first year, and is often described as cute, even by boys. He is unaware of Kuri's stalking. He has a very straightforward personality and is easily embarassed. After they start going out, he tries his best to make Kuri happy.

The Rest


Mizuyama Norika is Kuri's friend. She often points out the stalkerish habits of Kuri.


Shizuka Shouta and Sawaguchi Rihito are Momo's friends. They like to mess around with Momo.


Sakaki Rio is in the same class as Momo. She wants to protect Momo's smile.


Usami Ikue and Shimada Yuzuki are Sakaki's friends. Shimada Yuzuki (the one with brown hair) is childhood friends with Momo's friend Shizuka Shouta. That's about it!


This is a show I heard absolutely nothing about going into this season, but I've been enjoying it a lot!

This shouldn't be nearly as cute as it is. Looking forward to the ep where Kurihara goes to jail.

Kuri is very thirsty for Momo, but also extremely pure like Momo. She'd probably wait for 1000 pictures for something as lewd as holding hands

I hope Kurihara someday realizes her dream of getting a picture of Momokun in a swimsuit, and then blowing it up big enough to cover her bedroom wall.

I love that the arc was 'holy poo poo you can't take a picture of the changing room you weirdo' leading to 'whaaaat no I'm no weird pervert. I just want a picture of him in his swimsuit for my personal files'. She's the most adorable absolute crazy person.

This show is worrying. I hope that Kurihara realizes that what she needs is serious psychological help and not more pictures of Momo.

It's entirely fitting this show that Momo-kun is the one that ends up getting lost at the festival and has to be rescued from random older girls trying to pick him up.

The older girls are basically aged up versions of the First Year girls and I expected them to be their sisters or something.

New episode marks an important turning point in Kurihara's character arc in that she had a chance to take a picture of Momo and didn't

I really like Kurihara's revelation that she spends so much time looking at pictures of Momo that she hasn't actually gotten many good looks at Momo himself.

It's a nice, sweet moment of realization.

No one ever introduce Kuri to telephoto lenses. Also lol at the final scene this week.

Truly, no one confesses like Kuri does. For good reason, mind...

The last few episodes have been great, and now I'm really curious what happens next week after that cliffhanger.

I like their relationship so much better when Momo is starting to catch on.

Kurihara's phone skills remain untouchable.

What I'm getting from this episode is that both Momo and Kurihara are kinda hosed up, but they're hosed up together so that makes it okay.

Having skipped ahead a bit, I can safely say we have not gotten off the bus to crazytown yet, and I couldn't be happier about it.

I just wish the manga translation wasn't so slow. There's 122 chapters on Comico, and Crunchyroll only has 40 of them. They seem to only be translating the physical volumes, and those come out ridiculously slowly, so it'll probably be like another six months before the manga translation even catches up to the anime.

There is much lewdness from the webcomic I want to read properly...

The manga is good yes. I'm trying to read it on Comico and only barely following, my Japanese isn't quite there.

Crunchyroll does seem to only follow the print version, and that seems to publish every 5 months. Last volume was 2 months ago, so still a long time to go before they get the next bundle of chapters. Currently they're at 40, chapter 41 is here if anyone else wants to try picking it up.

Preview:

"...senpai." "Is being perverted... contagious?"
"Huh?"
