Sanrio Boys - S01

Kouta Hasegawa is a totally normal high school student who likes his Pompompurin stuffed animal, a Sanrio character based on a Golden Retriever, which his grandmother gave him when he was little. But when other kids accused him of being girly for liking Sanrio characters, he started feeling ashamed of how attached he was to Pompompurin. Through a series of unexpected events, Kouta ends up meeting other people at school who like Sanrio characters too: Yuu Mizuno, a flashy boy who is popular with girls; Shunsuke Yoshino, a member of the soccer team; Ryou Nishimiya, an underclassman who works as a library assistant; and Seiichirou Minamoto, the student council president. Through his new friends, Kouta learns there is no need to be embarrassed about liking Sanrio characters, and together they aim to create a play for the cultural festival to turn his ordinary school life into a sparkly one.
