Rilakkuma and Kaoru
On Netflix
A gentle, whimsical stop-motion slice-of-life about an office worker and her impossible roommate, built entirely on warmth, acceptance, and the comfort of small domestic moments.
Kaoru's unexpected new roommate is Rilakkuma, a bear with a zipper on its back that spends each day just lazing around -- but is impossible to hate.
