Yoshida is a 26-year-old {{Salaryman}} who's just been rejected by the woman he has a crush on. After DrowningHisSorrows, he heads home, and finds a [[{{Joshikousei}} schoolgirl in uniform]] sitting under a lamppost. She offers to have sex with him in exchange for a place to stay, but he refuses, though he still lets her sleep in his apartment for the night.
The next morning, he finds out her name is Sayu Ogiwara, and she's a [[TheRunaway runaway]] from Hokkaido who's been surviving for the past six months by sleeping with random men. Yoshida allows her to stay for the time being in exchange for doing household chores and cooking. For her part, she's confused that he doesn't want her body, and is willing to give her so much for so little in return.
''Higehiro'', short for ''Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway'' (ひげを剃る。そして女子高生を拾う。, ''Hige o Soru. Soshite Joshi Kōsei o Hirou.'') is a LightNovel series written by Shimesaba and illustrated by booota. It began serializing online in March 2017, and finished with the release of Volume 5 on June 1, 2021. Both the novels and the manga adaptation (drawn by Imaru Adachi) are published by Kadokawa, with the latter being published in ''Monthly Shonen Ace'' since November 2018. An anime adaptation by Project No.9 began airing in April 2021, and can be watched [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/higehiro-after-being-rejected-i-shaved-and-took-in-a-high-school-runaway on Crunchyroll]].

!!This work provides examples of:
* BlatantLies: Yoshida and Sayu tell Asami they are old childhood friends, but they are so awkward about it she doesn't buy it for one second.
* {{Bookends}}: The anime starts with a drunken Yoshida encountering Sayu under a lamppost on the evening of the same day Gotou turned him down. It also concludes with Yoshida, minus the drunkenness, encountering Sayu in the exact same area he first met her as he returns home from work.
* CallingTheOldWomanOut: In Episode 12, Sayu finally confronts her mother for the verbal and emotional abuse she faced for years, that caused her to run away in the first place.
* CuttingTheElectronicLeash: After running away, Sayu didn't want to be contacted by anybody back home so she hurled her cellphone into the ocean. [[spoiler: Yoshida buys her a new one so they can contact each other.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: After Gotou rejects him, Yoshida gets very drunk.
* FailureToSaveMurder: Sayu's ''[[AbusiveParents mother]]'' blames her for [[spoiler:her best friend Yuuko]]'s suicide, causing Sayu to run away from home and eventually have to offer SexForServices to survive. Her accusation is especially egregious because [[spoiler:Yuuko was Sayu's OnlyFriend and nobody else is more shaken by her death]].
* FamilyOfChoice: Rather than being a typical "romantic" {{Dramedy}}, ''Higehiro'' is about Sayu finally experiencing what it is like to have a family, with Yoshida as the stern but protective "father", Gotou as the gentle and loving "mother", Mishima and Asami as sisters she can share laughter and tears with, and occasionally Hashimoto as a supportive uncle. Through their 6 months of collectively "raising" Sayu to ''finally'' be a happy little girl, the office-quartet and Asami themselves become as close as a family by the story's end.
* FestivalEpisode: In Episode 8, Yoshida and Sayu go to a matsuri, where she uses the excuse of not getting lost to hold his hand.
* FirstLove: [[spoiler: Yoshida has a girlfriend named Ao Kanda in high school and already had sex with her during their short-lived relationship.]]
* GetOut: Yoshida and Issa appealing to [[spoiler:Sayu's mother]] to do better as a parent results in her breaking down and telling them off.
* GreenEyedMonster:
** Sayu gets jealous of any woman she sees around Yoshida. She thinks that once he gets a real girlfriend, she'll be kicked out.
** Airi, on a minor note. She shows subtle jealousy at Mishima and even questions Yoshida on their relationship after his transformation[[note]]Airi comments on Yoshida suddenly becoming neater and trying to get home on time from the guy who's always gruff and takes overtimes.[[/note]] during their second "date". She also feels rivalry to [[spoiler: Ao]] later in the series.
** Mishima also gets jealous to Airi, Sayu and [[spoiler: Ao]]
* HardTruthAesop: As legitimate as your personal problems are, you won't be able to move forward if you spend your lifetime running away from them. After months of running away from home, Sayu eventually acknowledges her hurtful past and faces it head-on.
* InnocentCohabitation: Enforced by Yoshida, even though Sayu offers SexForServices.
* {{Joshikousei}}: Sayu apparently has no clothes other than her school uniform when she meets Yoshida.
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:When Yoshida has to come back to Tokyo, Sayu declares her love for him and promises to find him after she becomes an adult. The story concludes at the point where Sayu appears in front of Yoshida again after graduation, at the spot where they first met, asking him to let her stay at his place again.]]
* MinimalistCast: The series has no more than ten named characters, with the focus of the series revolving around Sayu confronting her hurtful past head-on and growing from it.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Yoshida asks Sayu to do this when she's trying to seduce him.
* PygmalionPlot: A reversal of ''Film/PrettyWoman'' (and ''Film/MyFairLady'', which inspired said Creator/JuliaRoberts classic), wherein an emotionally immature and irresponsible girl is made into a mature and ladylike candidate suitable for marriage, ''Higehiro'' is about ''reversing'' the damage that sex has wrought upon a young woman and teaching her to be a happy little girl again.
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Kyouya Yaguchi. He genuinely thinks there's nothing wrong with dating seven women at the same time and was confused that one of them got mad at him over it. He also has no qualms taking advantage of Sayu when she was vulnerable, then pressures her to have sex with him again simply because he can. When Yoshida calls him out on it, he smugly declares that by simply keeping Sayu around, Yoshida is no different from him.]]
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Yoshida is constantly telling her not to thank him for meeting basic standards of decency.
-->'''Yoshida''': Listen up! I'm not nice. They were shit. Get that straight.
* VomitDiscretionShot: In Episode 4 when Sayu is remembering her past, the trauma forces her to run to the bathroom and vomit off-screen.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: Subverted. Yoshida has to tell Sayu not to thank him for being a good person.
