What is the Omuro-ke anime movie about?
A spin-off of the YuruYuri manga, Omuro-ke now has six volumes in circulation. The original manga was initially serialized in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime S magazine in 2008 before it moved to Comic Yuri Hime in 2010. With its success, it was adapted into an anime by Doga Kobo, which handled its first two seasons before TYO Animations took over for the third installment. The manga also inspired an OVA produced by Lay-duce and was released in 2019 as part of its 10th anniversary.
Now, Omuro-ke anime movie is coming, telling the story of the three Omuro sisters, Sakurako, Nadeshiko, and Hanako. The film follows the siblings’ everyday lives when Sakurako comes home to a quiet home one day. Hanako catches her breath as she hides behind the sofa, not wanting Sakurako to find her.
However, Sakurako sees her looking comical with a magic pen on her face, making it look like a beard. As this irritates Hanako, Nadeshiko is more annoyed after learning that the ice cream she has saved for herself is gone. Nadeshiko and Hanako suspect Sakurako to be the culprit, making the situation unfair as the fight becomes two versus one.
You can read the synopsis below:
Sakurako Omuro, a first year junior high school student, is full of energy at school and at home. As the center of the three sisters, she enjoys her days even though her older sister, Nadeshiko, and her younger sister, Hanako, are disappointed in her. Sakurako was at school today and Sunaoi helped her with her homework and she came home in high spirits. However, the house is quiet and no one seems to be there. In fact, Hanako, who had returned home before her, was catching her breath in the shadow of the sofa. Hanako had a reason why she never wanted her girlfriend Sakurako to find him, but she was easily found by Sakurako and she was laughed out loud. Her Hanako's face had a magic pen attached to it, making it look like a beard. Hanako is irritated by Sakurako who smiles freely, but her older sister Nadeshiko is even more irritated by her face.
