Synopsis:
Never underestimate the power of marshmallows. Especially when it comes to igniting a passionate office romance with an older man! Ojisan to Marshmallow follows the efforts of office lady Iori Wakabayashi and her consistent efforts to lure her much older colleague Habahiro Hige into a romantic relationship. At 24, Wakabayashi is young and beautiful... and attracted to an old, overweight man? Her friends don't understand her preferences.
Hige's strong addiction to marshmallows is well known, and Wakabayashi does not hesitate to use them to her advantage, getting her and Hige into many compromising positions and situations. Unfortunately for Wakabayashi, Hige never seems to notice her many attempts at seduction. When will Hige finally notice her strong desire for romance? (Source: MAL)
Short Review:
Have you ever wondered if love can sprout between man &
marshmallow? Yes you have, don’t lie! Well let me tell that dreams can come
true, well at least for Hige (Main character) a middle aged man who just loves
his marshmallows almost as if he worships their very existence.
Through this innocent and sweet story, you will learn to love marshmallows as well, almost as much as Wakana (main Heroine) loves Hige while laughing at the amusing situations that take place though are mainly due to misunderstanding which can get a bit repetitive if this was a full length series, however 3 – 4 minutes per episode, the show mangers to say light hearted all the way to its conclusion with a good soundtrack mixed in to scenes well however it sadly ends in a cliff-hanger with nothing resolved, although the ending song was nice touch which helps you wind-down after each episode.
Although I must praise the series on its characters as they are fun to watch and feel very human, mainly thanks to the age chosen for them. Yes, no annoying teenagers in high-school just some funny adults that feel like real people due to well wrote dialogue and great character design that mixes well with its different art style, setting it apart from other anime, though the animation is nothing to get excited about.

In conclusion watch this if you want something different or
want a light-hearted show that’s fun to watch. Plus if you really like
marshmallows watch this.
