    Synopsis:

    Tanaka's existence is defined by a desire for stillness. A high school student content with a life of minimal effort, he actively avoids any activity demanding exertion. His days are a constant struggle to maintain this tranquility, often thwarted by the realities of school and the persistent prodding of his supportive friend, Oota. The narrative explores the subtle tensions between Tanaka's yearning for peaceful inertia and the unavoidable disruptions of everyday life. It presents a character study focused on navigating routine and obligation while grappling with personal desires. The series unfolds at a deliberate pace, emphasizing the quiet moments and understated humor found within ordinary experiences, offering a contemplative look at finding contentment in a world that rarely allows for it.
