Where it came from
Slow Start was produced by the animation studio CloverWorks and aired in early 2018. It is an adaptation of the four-panel manga series by the artist Yuiko Tokumi, which began serialization in 2013. The series follows Hana Ichinose, a girl who begins high school a year late due to missing her entrance exams, and chronicles her gentle efforts to bridge the gap with her peers.
The anime was directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto, who aimed to capture the tranquil, slice-of-life atmosphere central to the original manga. CloverWorks employed a soft, pastel-toned color palette and detailed character designs to emphasize the series' focus on emotional growth and quiet camaraderie. Upon its release, the adaptation was noted for its polished animation quality and its faithful, steady pacing, garnering appreciation from fans of the 'iyashikei' or healing genre of anime.
