Makura no Danshi (枕男子, "Pillow Boys") is an original anime series that uses a first-person perspective for the viewers. Each episode features a different boy with a different "type" interacting with the viewer. The goal of the series is to "heal the tired hearts" of the viewers, making them feel comfortable no matter what their day has been like.The series clocks in at 12 short, 5 minute episodes, and also includes 12 short after stories with the DVD set. As it stands, Crunchyroll added the series to its 2015 summer lineup, minus the bonus episodes. | |

Take Our Word for It | |
| Makura no Danshi / int_1ec3eb0a | comment |
Take Our Word for It: Kanade Hanamine, the focus boy of the 3rd episode, is said to be a pretty good violinist— but the viewer is left to their own judgements about this ability, since his violin solo isn't heard at all when he plays it. Taken to ridiculous levels since this performance takes place right in front of the viewer's face. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: Merry, as it turns out, is some kind of shapeshifting spirit, as we see in the last episode. On the official Twitter, Merry is followed around by two cute looking blue and pink sheep. As it turns out, they're spirits like Merry is. | |

| Makura no Danshi / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: The twelfth and final episode has the viewer return to a situation with Merry and run through his day, and after wishing the viewer sweet dreams, he turns into the sleeping sheep the viewer saw in the beginning of the first episode. The only real difference here is that he greets the viewer as a Vague Age young man in the first episode, and as a child in the last. Either way, the viewer ends up falling asleep with him in his adult form. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits: None of the boys in the opening are actually shown sleeping, save for Merry. Even besides the lack of sleeping, viewers who see the opening would be forgiven for expecting it to be a Yaoi series or a more risque Otome of some sort, what with all the scantily dressed men and camera pans that focus on their muscles. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| Makura no Danshi / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: For a show about sleeping with the audience, not a lot of sleeping occurs. While the first couple of episodes and almost certainly the last one has the viewer going to bed with the episode's focus, others are more of character studies with only the viewer only going to sleep near or after the end of the shorts. One episode has a guy even bring a sleeping bag, at nightfall, and nobody sleeps. | |
