About
"A genius playing the fool, job after job"
Golden Boy follows Kintaro Oe, a top law school grad who ditches a career path to ride his bicycle around Japan taking odd jobs, from tech startups to hostess bars. Each short episode drops him into a new workplace where he plays the bumbling fool until his genius-level knowledge and diligence quietly floor everyone around him. It's a breezy, episodic 90s OVA comedy with heavy fanservice, but underneath the leering gags sits a surprisingly sincere ode to curiosity, hard work, and not underestimating people.
the satisfying twist each episode where Kintaro's hidden brilliance outshines everyone who mocked him.
you're uncomfortable with heavy, dated fanservice played mostly for comedy.
