Ending Cut(2022)

Ending Cut is a Japanese series following Sakoda Yui, a cheerful high school senior in a seaside town whose parents run a small hair salon. As Yui prepares for her college entrance exam, she grapples with self-doubt about her artistic aspirations. When she discovers her father has taken on a quietly profound side job—performing "ending cuts," the final haircuts given to the deceased before their funeral—Yui begins to reconsider what truly matters. The series explores themes of mortality, family legacy, and finding meaning through unexpected work, blending gentle coming-of-age reflection with the tender rituals that mark life's end.
