Himouto! Umaru-chan
What is Himouto! Umaru-chan?
Himouto! Umaru-chan is a comedy slice-of-life series that premiered in summer 2015 as a 12-episode TV series. The show follows Umaru, a 16-year-old girl who maintains an impeccable public image as a brilliant, kind, and admirable student, while secretly living a completely different life at home. Behind closed doors, she abandons all pretense of responsibility, spending her time gaming, watching television, eating junk food, and lounging around while her older brother Taihei handles the household chores.
The series' central appeal lies in this contrast between Umaru's carefully cultivated persona and her true lazy nature. It's a relatable comedy for anyone who behaves differently in public versus at home, played for laughs as her long-suffering brother discovers and must contend with her secret habits. The humor comes largely from watching this disconnect play out across everyday domestic situations.
The series has finished airing, so all 12 episodes are available to watch in full. This makes it an ideal choice for viewers looking for a complete, bite-sized comedy that can be watched over a short period.
Umaru is a renowned beautiful 16-year-old girl, living with her elder brother Taihei. She's a perfect little sister: Popular, smart, kind-hearted, everybody admires her. So who would believe Umaru keeps a certain secret? Sleeping, gaming, watching TV, eating junk food, drinking cola… that's almost all she does at home, leaving all the housework to her brother.
