Synopsis:

Set within the familiar yet subtly unsettling environment of a deserted Nakano Broadway, *Hentatsu* centers on the explorations of two young women. The narrative unfolds amidst the cluttered aisles of shops specializing in anime and pop culture memorabilia, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that blends nostalgia with a pervasive sense of isolation. The girls navigate this altered reality, their interactions hinting at complex relationships and unspoken histories. The series emphasizes quiet observation and atmosphere over action, prompting reflection on memory, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and imagination. Expect a slow-burn experience focusing on character dynamics and the subtle details of a world steeped in fandom, rather than high-stakes conflict or straightforward plot progression.
