Himouto! Umaru-chan — Season 1
By day, Umaru is the picture of teenage perfection: a bright, popular, and effortlessly charming sixteen-year-old who’s the envy of everyone in town. But behind closed doors, the dazzling façade melts away. Her older brother, Taihei, holds a secret – the real Umaru is a devoted homebody whose days are blissfully consumed by sleeping, gaming, endless TV marathons, and mountains of junk food washed down with cola. While she effortlessly wins over the world outside, it's Taihei who quietly shoulders the responsibility of keeping their little secret, and handling all the chores that come with it.
The weight of responsibility settled on Taihei’s shoulders, a constant burden stemming from his younger sister, Umaru. Her penchant for chaos was legendary; each day brought a fresh wave of destruction to his apartment, accompanied by drama…
She presented a carefully curated facade to the world – Umaru's public persona. The apartment gleamed, her usual distractions tucked away, all in preparation for inviting Ebina, her classmate and neighbor, over.

Winter at the Doma household meant languid days spent beneath the kotatsu. Umaru reflected on the year past, while Taihei attempted to collect on a promise she had made to him.
The aroma of burnt cookies hung in the air, a testament to Kirie's culinary endeavors. Ebina wrestled with melted chocolate, striving for a confectionary triumph. Meanwhile, Umaru, as usual, delegated all food preparation to the perpetually…
She was fortunate in her ailments; her microbes, mirroring her own indolence, possessed a remarkable lack of vigor. Yet, they showed no such leniency to her brother. Later, Taihei recalled a day at the arcade, a decade in the past.
A shared craving sparked an unexpected connection between them. The council within Umaru's mind buzzed with fervent debate over the ideal treat, while Taihei sought to ignite Kirie's anticipation for the coming summer.
The prospect loomed: a gathering of Umaru’s disparate friendships, culminating in a highly anticipated beach trip. It seemed inevitable that her carefully guarded secret would be exposed.
