"Well," Shintaro said, scratching the back of his neck. "I'm glad you think so. Because I forgot to pay the electric bill and it might get really dark in a few days if I don't head to the convenience store."

Unlike the chaotic "harem" tropes of the early 2000s, or the high-stakes drama of Bleach -style shinigami encounters, Studio Apartment grounds its fantasy in the mundane.
