Plot of Season One

Crunchyroll describes the first season of Skip and Loafer as:

Iwakura Mitsumi graduated from a small middle school in the countryside and entered a top-tier high school in Tokyo at the head of the class. This child prodigy, who moved to Tokyo alone with a perfect life plan, is smart and gets good grades…but her social understanding isn’t quite on the same wavelength as others. This means that she sometimes makes mistakes, but her easygoing nature sways her classmates little by little, and all their different personalities are coming together before they know it. They meet and gradually come to know each other, and before long they understand each other well. Everyone experiences pent-up feelings and frustrations, but it is our friends who give us a chance at mutual understanding. This story may start out with some discord, but it becomes a happy school-life comedy before you know it!

Closing Thoughts….

I first came across Skip and Loafer when a good friend of mine gifted me the first volume of the manga for my birthday a few years ago! I read it right away and I was filled with immediate happiness! This story has a great blend of comedy and romance that shares the adolescence of all the characters in a heartwarming way.

Recently I decided to rewatch the series and I’m so happy I am! Skip and Loafer is a perfect comfy watch that strikes a great balance of romance and comedy that is sure to make you smile.

Skip and Loafer is confirmed for a Season 2.
