In the future with advertisements projected on clouds, rampant prejudice towards anyone outside the mainstream, and surveillance technology monitoring actions and words, students fight back with pranks and sit-ins.

Unfortunately, the scope, vision, range, and dialogue of Happyend is rather limited. I enjoyed some of the pranks, the friendships, and the characters watching strangers from a distance and imagining conversations that they might be having with each other. However, beyond such things, there isn't much going on. It is an intriguing theme of loyal friends vowing to face the future together, but there needs to be more depth.
