Is the TV show Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we keep an eye on where to watch the shows that spark conversation — including the bittersweet slice-of-life Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway (2021). The series follows 26-year-old salaryman Yoshida, who, after a night of drowning his sorrows, finds runaway high schooler Sayu and lets her stay the night. What starts as a single act of kindness becomes an awkward, irritable and sometimes tender cohabitation that probes loneliness, responsibility and the messy gap between adulthood and adolescence. Higehiro leans on quiet, character-driven moments — late-night convenience store runs, awkward breakfasts, and the small rituals that shape an unlikely household — rather than flashy set pieces. If you want to revisit Yoshida and Sayu’s uneasy, oddly heartwarming routine, Stream Tracker will check whether it’s available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ in your region and how to access it. Content note: the show centers on an unconventional living arrangement between an adult and a minor and handles sensitive themes, so consider that when choosing to watch.

Synopsis

After getting drunk to drown the sting of being rejected by his crush, 26-year-old salaryman Yoshida finds a high-school girl named Sayu sitting alone by the roadside and lets her spend the night at his apartment. Unable to bring himself to cast the runaway back out into the cold, he allows her to stay—and their uneasy cohabitation soon gives rise to a prickly, often exasperating, yet unexpectedly tender bond between the reluctant bachelor and the runaway schoolgirl.
