Hotaru, on the other hand, is unusually mature, at least on a physical level, for a fifth grader.
I have personally lost count at how many times I've let out an audible aww throughout this series.
A lot of slower paced anime, however, require you to be in the right mood before watching them, but again that is of no concern here, as Non Non Biyori will put you in that right mood, no matter what your previous state of mind.
