How to say "Slice of life anime"?


How do I say "slice of life anime/manga" in Japanese?

I've tried looking this up. Perhaps it is only english speakers who categorize
anime this way?




I don't think there's a direct translation of "slice of life" into Japanese in
the context of Anime genres, however I think `空気系{くうきけい}` would be a close
candidate. This genre is also sometimes called `日常系{にちじょうけい}` (See also the
Japanese Wikipedia article for
[`空気系`](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A9%BA%E6%B0%97%E7%B3%BB)).

It means something like "atmosphere type", and refers to Anime which doesn't
have any dramatic developments or ongoing plot, and basically consists of
everyday life. A lot of them are based on `萌え4コマ` (or [4 cell
Manga](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonkoma) with
[`萌{も}え`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_%28slang%29) characters).
