If you love the humor that arises from everyday life, clumsy interactions, or the absurd entanglements of daily life, Animes of sitcom or a slice of life with comic touches are a gold mine. It is not about great battles or supernatural powers, here what shines is the human, the weird and the uncomfortable. We leave you 10 jewels that represent the best of the genre:
1. Anime: The Way of the Househusband
A former yakuza now turned into a homelander. That’s how absurd the premise is and that’s how great the execution is. Each episode is a collection of sketches where “The Immortal Tatsu” takes on the art of cooking, cleaning and caring for his wife as if it were a life-or-death mission. It’s so ridiculous it just works.
2. Anime: My RoomMate is a cat
This sweet and relaxed comedy mixes the perspective of a young antisocial writer with that of her partner who is a kitten. Each episode shows the same situation from both points of view, and the result is fun, tender and often surprisingly emotional.

The adorable is combined with ridiculously funny situations.
5. Wotakoi: Love is hard for an otaku

8. Nichijou – My Ordinary Life

9. Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

10. Daily Lives of High School Boys
As its name indicates, this anime shows us the day-to-day of a group of high school boys, but with an absurd, surreal and extremely self-conscious approach. From stupid games to existential underwear discussions, everything is material for the most bizarre comedy.
The sitcom in the anime has a special magic: it turns the simplest as a lunch, a conversation or a misunderstanding into a safe laugh. If you are looking for series that accompany you on quiet days or make you smile without the need for complicated plots, any of these titles is a great choice. And if you already saw some, well, it’s always worth laughing again.
