Oddly enough, from the Fall 2019 anime season, Hōkago Saikoro Kurabu or After School Dice Club is a series with the specific aim of providing a wider lens of a world unfamiliar to most.Ĭentering around 3 girls: reserved Miki Takekasa, the bubbly Aya Takayashiki, and aspiring game creator and class representative Midori Ono – they decided to form a group of sorts dedicated to the amusement and play of analog games. To this day I still do look wistful to online shops researching weird (and often obscure) board games and other types that I would have probably played and even might of have enjoyed today if I still had something a respectable group to do so with. Sadly, where card games were a large part of my childhood, as I grew older, it became less of a staple, preferring the instant gratification of game consoles and computers that helped fill the void of a shrinking social circle. From various type of card games only nerds and geeks of a certain vintage would recognize and understand to making up stories and reveling in fantasy worlds inspired by video games and the like, I certainly can say that my childhood has been one where the social interactions I built came from face-to-face meetings rather than behind some interface. Growing up in a time where the analog and digital realms occupied my days in equal measure, some of my most vivid memories would have to be from the tactile side of things. After trying out a German board game, Miki soon understands the kind of fun she had been looking for: playing various games after school along with the friends and acquaintances she makes from her newfound pleasure. On their way home, Miki and Aya see their class representative Midori Oono entering Saikoro Club, a store specializing in board games. Miki discovers wonders she had never seen before, opening a way to change her withdrawn life. One day after school, she crosses paths with her classmate Aya Takayashiki, who takes her on a little adventure. However, she wants to know what “fun” really is, waiting for someone who could help her understand its true meaning. Miki Takekasa is an introverted high schooler who does not socialize with her classmates. Title: Hōkago Saikoro Kurabu (After School Dice Club) 4 girls discover the world of analog and tabletop games.
