5 Calming Anime’s You Need To See That Will Soothe Your Soul

Having to deal with anxiety can be stressful and trying to find a distraction can sometimes be a difficult thing.

You get these feelings of worry and you just can’t make them go away.

I have found that, when trying to deal with anxiety, getting lost in fictional universes usually helps with the anxious feelings. With anime, there are plenty of worlds in which to lose yourself.

Here are 5 anime’s that might help you forget about your uneasy feelings.

 

#1 – Kiss Him, Not Me

Kae Serinuma is a huge fan of BL (boys love). She’s an overweight student who absolutely loses it whenever she sees any kind of friendliness going on between two boys.

When she suddenly loses a lot of weight, she captures the attention of a few of her school friends.

Now, the boys Hayato Shinomiya, Yusuke Igarashi, Asuma Mutsumi, and Nozomu Nanashima think Serinuma is incredibly beautiful.

Even Nishina Shima takes a liking to her.

All of them battle for her affection, but Serinuma would rather have them be with each other instead of her!
