“Every so often in the anime world, a highly specific sub-genre appears out of nowhere, dominating the airwaves for a few months or years before it disappears back into the realms of niche. For the last few anime seasons, it’s been “cute boys and their daily (sporting) lives”, a sub-genre close to my heart and one that’s been responsible for the likes of FREE!, Starmyu and Prince of Stride.
Rainbow Days is Minami Mizuno’s charming addition to the fray, following the lives of four friends – Natcchan, Mattsun, Kei-chan and Tsuyopon – as they navigate the trials and tribulations of ordinary high school life.”
