I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? [Season 1 Episode 25 to Episode 26]

Living with Chaos and Charm: A Review of I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? (Episodes 25-26)

If you’re looking for a show that blends absurdity, heart, and just the right amount of chaos, I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? delivers in spades. The series, which follows the mundane yet bizarre life of salaryman Tsukasa Atsumi and his cohabitation with the lazy yet deadly kunoichi Shizuri, has been a rollercoaster of laughs, action, and oddly wholesome moments. Episodes 25 and 26, the culmination of Season 1, ramp up the stakes while staying true to the show’s quirky charm.

The Premise and Setup

For the uninitiated, I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? (produced by Kotatsu and directed by Yakitomato) is a wild ride from the get-go. Tsukasa, an ordinary office worker, finds his life turned upside down when Shizuri—a pink-clad kunoichi who doubles as a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training)—saves him from a demon attack and promptly moves into his apartment. What follows is a mix of slice-of-life comedy, supernatural battles, and a growing bond between two misfits.

By the time we reach Episodes 25 and 26, the show has introduced a colorful cast of additional kunoichi, each with their own quirks, and a brewing conflict that threatens the fragile peace Tsukasa and Shizuri have built.

What Fans Are Saying

Diving into fan discussions (courtesy of MyAnimeList and other forums), the consensus is clear: this show is a guilty pleasure. Some viewers adore the absurdity, while others appreciate the unexpected emotional depth. Here’s a breakdown of the buzz:

1. “It’s a Harem Anime Disguised as a Comedy”
   Many fans note that while the show leans heavily into comedy, the introduction of multiple kunoichi gives it a harem-like vibe. One user joked, “Tsukasa’s apartment is basically a ninja hostel at this point.”

2. “The Fight Scenes Are Surprisingly Good”
   Despite its comedic tone, the action sequences—especially in the later episodes—are well-animated and dynamic. Episode 25’s showdown with a rogue demon clan had fans hyped, with one commenter saying, “I came for the laughs but stayed for the sakuga.”

3. “Shizuri’s Character Growth is Low-Key Wholesome”
   Shizuri starts as a lazy, gaming-obsessed NEET, but her gradual development into someone who genuinely cares for Tsukasa has resonated with viewers. A fan pointed out, “She’s still a mess, but she’s our mess now.”

4. “The Comedy Can Be Hit or Miss”
   Not every joke lands, and some fans feel the humor relies too much on tropes (like Ayame’s masochism or the landlady’s eccentricities). One user quipped, “It’s like the writers threw every anime cliché into a blender—sometimes it works, sometimes it’s just weird.”

5. “The Ending Sets Up Season 2 Perfectly”
   Without spoiling too much, Episode 26 leaves things on a cliffhanger that has fans speculating. A Reddit thread theorized, “That final scene with the shadowy figure? Definitely setting up a bigger villain arc.”

Final Thoughts

I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—it’s a fun, chaotic romp that knows exactly what it is. Episodes 25 and 26 wrap up Season 1 with a satisfying mix of action, humor, and heart, while leaving enough threads dangling to keep fans eager for more.

If you’re in the mood for something lighthearted with a dash of ninja flair, this show is worth the watch. Just don’t expect high art—expect a good time.

Rating: 7.5/10 – A solid, silly, and surprisingly endearing ride.
