Miru Tights (Japanese: みるタイツ, Hepburn: Miru Taitsu, transl. "Watch Tights") is a short-episode original net anime series by Yokohama Animation Laboratory, which aired from May 11 to July 27, 2019. It is based on a series of illustrations by Japanese artist Yom [ja].
Plot
Three students of Yaegasumi High School, Yua Nakabeni, Ren Aikawa, and Homi Moegi, go about their daily lives. Their adventures are interspersed with leg and foot fetish-oriented fan service.[1]
An honor student good at studies and sports. She is not talkative, but is a good communicator and likes to tease Ren. She enjoys taking selfies and posting them on social media; she is a well-known cosplayer. She is 168 cm (5 ft 6 in) tall and wears 30 denier tights.[3]
A normal second-year high school student who tries to act cool, but is also shy and finds it hard to refuse the requests of others. She is 162 cm (5 ft 4 in) tall and wears 60 denier tights.[3] She works part-time as a waitress at a family restaurant.
A bright and bubbly student who often surprises Ren and Yua. She is driven to school and is a member of the swimming club. She is 158 cm (5 ft 2 in) tall and wears 110 denier tights.[3] In episode 10, it is shown she has a brother in junior high school.
A 27-year-old homeroom teacher (for Ren's class) who is popular among the students. She is passionate about teaching and guiding her students, but can sometimes be overzealous. In episode 7, it is revealed that Yuiko has a hidden seductive side, as she seduces a male student with an implied footjob in an attempt to get him to focus on his studies.
Media
Anime
Miru Tights was streamed on YouTube worldwide outside of Japan with English and Chinese subtitles.[5][6] The ending theme is "True Days", with Haruka Tomatsu, Yōko Hikasa and Aya Suzaki each performing a version as their respective characters. A bonus episode is included with the series' Blu-ray, which was released on August 23, 2019.[7]
The first day of the new semester is rainy, leading to Homi Moegi and Ren Aikawa's tights getting soaked. As Homi goes to get changed, she bumps into Yuiko Okuzumi, the three's homeroom teacher.
Yua Nakabeni posts pictures of herself to Twitter as a maid, bunny girl, and a nurse, before posing in a school uniform different from her own (albeit with her whole face visible, much to Ren's dismay).

Homi finds a small rip in her tights and decides to take them off in the classroom. Ren hastily intervenes, but her own tights become ripped in a more compromising location. Yua, having been in a rush, arrives to class with a rip in her tights as well. As the three change, Yua's tights rip again, causing Ren to burst into laughter and Yua to deliberately rip Ren's new tights out of anger. The three later return to class with ripped tights.
Ren begins a shift at the restaurant where she works. After the restaurant closes, she complains to her manager about the job being busier than anticipated.
Homi arrives two hours early to swimming practice, having forgotten about a change in schedule. Having undressed to just her swimsuit and tights before she realizes, she decides to take a nap in the change room and is woken up by the other students. Later, Ren tells Homi to stop flapping her skirt up and down to cool off, but Homi dismisses her request by claiming to be wearing her swimsuit underneath; it then occurs to her that her swimsuit is actually drying off in the club room.

Yua, Ren, and Homi take part in a Japanese tea ceremony with Okuzumi-sensei as detention. As Ren drinks from the bowl, Yua uses her foot to poke Ren's. Ren prepares to tickle Yua in retaliation, but fails due to the seiza position having caused her legs to fall asleep.
Noticing a male student distracted by her figure, Okuzumi-sensei tells him to stay after class. She expresses concern over his failed quiz before he wakes up in the classroom at night. Okuzumi-sensei is seen putting her tights back on, having apparently "played with" the student that evening.
Noticing Ren massaging her tired legs, Yua offers to give her an acupressure foot massage instead. Yua's massage eventually drives Ren to orgasm, while a passing Okuzumi-sensei remarks to herself that Ren should keep her voice down.

Yua and Homi study at a kotatsu together as Yua's cat lounges inside it.
A boy is seen looking at Yom's Yomu Tights (よむタイツ, Yomu Taitsu) artbook before Homi barges into his room, revealing him to be her younger brother. She beckons him to let him clean his ears, and he reluctantly obliges, being flustered by her resting his head on her lap. Internally, he blames Homi for his interest in girls wearing tights.
Ren gives Yua a stuffed toy she won at the arcade in return for Yua having given her Valentine's chocolates. In response to Yua's teasing remark that Ren herself would suffice as a present, she wraps herself in a red ribbon, accidentally tying herself up in the process.
The three girls discuss going on vacation somewhere for spring break, later ordering pizza and falling asleep together. The end credits show them having chosen somewhere in Japan as their travel destination.
Yua has Homi take photos of her for a photo book, with Ren later posing alongside her.
