Season overview
Himouto! Umaru-chan is an animated comedy series that centers on the dual life of Umaru Doma. In public, Umaru is a renowned and beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who is widely admired for her intelligence, kindness, and popularity.

The series explores the reality of Umaru’s lifestyle as she leaves all housework to her brother while indulging in her leisure activities. The show debuted in 2015 and is classified as an animation and comedy.
