I will say that I became completely sold on continuing with the series when I saw the first episode entitled, White, Round, Tiny, Wimpy, and Ready. There are so many great moments between Sora and Mii-kun in the episodes I’ve watched so far that it’s hard to pick one. The way Sora fusses over Mii-kun, making sure Mii-kun doesn’t dry out or figuring out what exactly mummies eat, is endearing and just laugh out loud funny. The heartwarming friendship between Sora and Mii-kun is really the reason to watch the show. But there are those few exceptions where the entertainment you consume doesn’t always need to have such sweeping stories that have a point. I’m always drawn to plots with deep and enriching stories with characters who are unforgettable. If the extent of the show simply became a day in the life of a boy and his itty bitty mummy, I’d be okay with that. With only 4-episodes currently available on Crunchyroll and still ongoing, it’s too early to tell if How To Keep A Mummy will have a significant plot beyond the sweetness and comedy Sora has with Mii-kun. As cute as Mii-kun is Sora starts to realize that keeping and caring for a mummy is much more work than it looks. How To Keep A Mummy, based on the manga by Kakeru Utsugi, follows high school kid Sora Kashiwagi’s adventures in keeping a tiny mummy, who Sora affectionately names “Mii-kun,” after his father ships Mii-kun in a humongous coffin to their house for his son to look after. But with a combination of select scenes being promoted on social media to having an overall weakness for anything cute and adorable, I spent one weekend afternoon watching How To Keep A Mummy and it’s the surprise gem of the year so far. It’s not often that I’ll choose to spend time watching an anime I know nothing about. Sometimes you won’t have much of a premise to go on other than some short clips from episodes you saw on your social media feed. Every once in a while you’ll stumble upon an anime series completely by accident.
