What We Think

Kokoro Connect is refreshingly non-woke. It’s focused far more on classic coming-of-age and relationship drama than on ideological messaging or identity politics. Fans of non-woke storytelling will find little to complain about.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kokoro Connect keeps its focus on character-driven drama rooted in genuine emotional struggles. Diversity and identity are not forced, and the show avoids tokenism. Instead, narrative weight is given to personality, growth, and relationships, rather than modern ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship, vulnerability, and budding romance are explored earnestly, with no apparent agenda undermining family, masculinity, or morality. The series actually supports healthy self-reflection and maturation, sticking close to timeless coming-of-age themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show does focus on teenagers’ emotional lives, it doesn’t attack or mock alternative worldviews. Characters have internal conflicts and diverse personalities, avoiding any imposition of a singular modern ideology.
