Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory

Koushi Nagumo is a down on his luck wanderer who can barely scratch together a meal when a chance encounter brings a spark of hope. A vividly cheerful woman offers him a solution that seems to fix everything, and soon he finds himself moving into a dormitory at a women's college. But this is no quiet study hall. The goddess themed residence houses some of the campus's most unruly residents, and the deal requires Koushi to become the dormitory mother, a role that means enforcing rules while staying sane amid chaos. His new job pulls him into a revolving door of eccentric, endearing misfits who test his patience and his heart. Its humor lands on misfits finding solidarity amid chaos.

This 2021 animated comedy is created by Ikumi Hino and Masashi Suzuki, featuring Misuzu Yamada voicing Koushi and a strong supporting cast including Asaki Fukuyama, Hikaru Nanjo, Ayaka Nanase, and Chiaki Takahashi, with brisk pacing and expressive animation.
