Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern

Set in Taishō-era Japan in 1918, 17-year-old Benio Hanamura refuses to be boxed in by tradition. Loud, stubborn, and proudly tomboyish, she’d rather practice kendo and scramble up trees than behave like a “proper” young lady, spending her days in high-spirited mischief alongside her close friends Tamaki and Ranmaru.

Determined to choose love on her own terms, Benio soon finds her wishes at odds with her family’s expectations. As wartime pressures close in, she’s pushed to navigate difficult choices that test her independence, her relationships, and what she truly wants from life.
