Higehiro Season 2 Plot

This slice-of-life anime revolves around a 26-year-old regular salaryman named Yoshida who wakes up one Sunday morning, only to find an unfamiliar high school girl in his tiny apartment room. This takes us back to the night before, which did not really go as planned and was certainly, not the most memorable one for Yoshida. Yoshida ended up getting very drunk after he was rejected by his long-time unrequited crush, Airi Gotou after he confessed his feelings to her. While heading back home in a drunken state, Yoshida runs into Sayu Ogiwara, a runaway high schooler. She asked him to let her stay the night, and with his judgment clouded by alcohol, Yoshida complied.

When he sobers up the next day, Yoshida asks Sayu how she ended up at his apartment. Sayu reveals that she had run away from her family and home in Hokkaido and has been prostituting herself to random men, in exchange for a place to stay. After getting to know her backstory, Yoshida feels sorry for her state, and thus, is unable to kick her out of his house. Thus, despite his reservations about letting an underage girl live with him, Yoshida and Sayu start living together in his apartment, and this marks the beginning of their new life together.
