Nijiiro Days follows the colorful lives and romantic relationships of four high school boys—Natsuki Hashiba, a dreamer with delusions of love; Tomoya Matsunaga, a narcissistic playboy who has multiple girlfriends; Keiichi Katakura, a kinky sadist who always carries a whip; and Tsuyoshi Naoe, an otaku who has a cosplaying girlfriend.
When his girlfriend unceremoniously dumps him on Christmas Eve, Natsuki breaks down in tears in the middle of the street and is offered tissues by a girl in a Santa Claus suit. He instantly falls in love with this girl, Anna Kobayakawa, who fortunately attends the same school as him. Natsuki's pursuit of Anna should have been simple and uneventful; however, much to his dismay, his nosy friends constantly meddle in his relationship, as they strive to succeed in their own endeavors of love.

Where it came from
Rainbow Days, or Nijiiro Days, began as a manga series by Minami Mizuno before being adapted into a 24-episode television anime series by Ashi Productions in 2016. The series focuses on the daily lives and romantic entanglements of four high school boys, shifting the typical shoujo perspective to highlight male friendships alongside their burgeoning relationships. Its production was driven by a desire to capture the lighthearted, episodic nature of adolescence, emphasizing comedy and the awkward sincerity of first loves.
The adaptation was directed by Tomihiko Ohkubo and Tetsuro Amino, who sought to maintain the pastel-toned, soft aesthetic established in Mizuno's original illustrations. The series was generally received as a refreshing entry in the slice-of-life genre, praised for its relatively low-stakes narrative and the distinct chemistry between the main protagonists. By focusing on the group dynamic rather than a single dramatic conflict, the show successfully carved out a niche for viewers interested in character-driven storytelling.
