While the Japanese anime industry spans all the normal genres such as romance, science fiction, and historical, there's also the concept of "slice of life," a pseudo-genre that anime fans absolutely adore. The basic idea is to present a short, ordinary phase in the main characters' lives, such as a few months of their high school career or a few months of their working life. Slice-of-life anime, or Sol, tend to be grounded, relatable, and realistic, which boosts their charm.

If anime fans want a casual, relaxing anime to watch or if new anime fans want to see what slice-of-life is like, then there are plenty of anime that are ready for their viewing pleasure. These delightful slice-of-life series help an anime fan take it easy and immerse themselves in a fictional character's quaint everyday life, and as a bonus, these series are great baseline examples of Sol for fans new to the concept.
