“Dry girls”, these are women as dried out as shiitake mushrooms or scallops. A dry girl is a young woman who has given up on romance, saying things like, "This is the easiest way to live." On holidays, she almost always sleeps at home, wearing her high school athletic uniform, slouching around the house drinking beer while watching baseball broadcasts or DVDs. She resembles Eri Mikazu from the Japanese drama *Power of Love*. Completely immersed in a life of carefree laziness and comfort, this originally depicted the state of Hotaru Ayami, the 27-year-old protagonist in Takeshi Nibu's manga *Hotaru no Hikari*. It also mirrors the lifestyle of many young women, resonating deeply with them.
