The workplace comedy Ojisan and Marshmallow is now streaming in its entirety on Crunchyroll. The series centers on Habahiro Hige, a middle-aged office worker whose singular passion for Tabekko Marshmallows makes him the target of relentless, affectionate teasing from his 24-year-old colleague, Iori Wakabayashi.
Produced by Creators in Pack, the show leans into the 'love status quo' genre, finding humor in the persistent age-gap dynamic and the absurdity of Hige’s snack-focused lifestyle. At only a few minutes per episode, it is a low-commitment watch that relies on quick-fire slapstick and the contrast between Hige’s oblivious nature and Wakabayashi’s bold attempts to win his attention.
Beyond the initial 12 episodes, the release includes the 'Hige-san and Marshmallow' OVA, effectively rounding out the entire adaptation of Rekomaru Otoi’s manga. It serves as a lighthearted, episodic palate cleanser for those looking for a character-driven comedy set outside of a high school environment.
