First impression: Urara Meirochou

A belly button exhibitionist girl raised in the wild by animals goes to the big city to become a fortune teller and meets other eccentric girls wanting to do the same.

Urara Meirochou: this is a fetish for someone

Gee, I wonder what the appeal of this series could be. Now obviously, this being a Manga Time Kirara adaptation this was always going to be a slice of moe/cute girls doing cute things with a bit of implied lesbianism/yuri thrown in, but still this gimmick got tired quickly. Oh, she’s raised by animals so she strips to show her belly as a sign of submission/apology. As Anime Feminist points out, it’s a bit dodgy especially since she’s supposed to be fifteen and especially when she does that to her friends.

Urara Meirochou: cute girls doing cute things

Apart from that, this is a standard slice of moe series, with each girl having her own character type: Chiya is the wild one, then there’s the shy one, the somewhat tsundere-esque one and the quietly component big sister type one. There’s a bit of sexual tension between that last one and Chiya, which may or may not go anywhere. The setting looks interesting if anything is done with it and I don’t mind this sort of series at all, if the blatant fanservice could be reigned in a bit.
