> Slice of life is a very strange genre. Defined by the portrayal of regular everyday life, it has uneventful mundanity as its narrative center. As such it completely lacks any form of conventional dramatic structure; there is no goal driven by a conflict, and no act division led by buildup and catharsis. Like an anti-narrative mode it embraces a seeming plotlessness, resulting from a meandering non-directionality and a lack of high-stake events. Indeed, it goes against pretty much everything normally recognized as fundamental facets of engaging storytelling. With such unconventionality at its core, one would assume that its market is limited to the realm of obscure avant-gardism, with a small underground cult following as its only audience. But such is not the case. Ever since the emergent waves of iyashi-kei and nichijou-kei in the late 1990s to mid-2000s – not to mention the exploding popularity of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) – slice of life has been one of the most prevalent and defining staples of modern anime and manga. Why is that?
> Based on empirical information from forum threads that discuss topics like “What is the appeal of slice of life?” and “What makes a good slice of life show?”, it examines the basis for enjoyment for fans and consumers of the genre. The information from these threads is diverse and varied, but can generally be comprised into three main categories: relaxation, characters, and relatability.
