About

You can stream Kotaro Lives Alone (2022) on Netflix with a subscription.

A lonely little boy moves into a ramshackle apartment building all on his own and makes friends with the broke manga artist who lives next door.

Warmth radiates from this quiet study of unconventional family bonds found within a run-down apartment complex. It balances heartbreaking loneliness with gentle, quirky humor to show how small acts of kindness sustain a child.
