Hotarubi no Migomori

Hotarubi no Migomori is a poignant and unique graduate work anime from Tokyo University of the Arts. It tells a deeply personal and surreal story about a young boy who finds himself pregnant.

Through this extraordinary premise, the anime explores his journey of physical discomfort, such as morning sickness, and the profound social prejudice he faces. It is a sensitive narrative about confronting the unknown, enduring hardship, and the transformative, isolating experience of carrying life.
