Iyashikei (癒し系) is Japanese for "healing", a term used for [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] created with the specific purpose of having a healing or soothing effect on the audience. Works of this kind often involve alternative realities with little to no conflict, emphasizing nature and the little delights in life.
 
Even though many [['''Iyashikei]]''' creations seem to have a strong escapist basis, the goal is not only to offer a means of getting away from daily worries, but to let the audience embrace a calming state of mind. As these works tend to involve normal people in normal situations, this trope often overlaps with [[Slice of Life]]. Other tropes often associated with [['''Iyashikei]]''' are [[Arcadia]], [[Ghibli Hills]] and [[Scenery Porn]].
 
[['''Iyashikei]]''' often involves the subtler kind of [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Compare (or contrast) [[Warm and Fuzzy Feeling]], [[Tastes Like Diabetes]], [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], and [[Happiness Tropes]]. Contrast [[Glurge]], [[Nightmare Fuel]] and [[Paranoia Fuel]]. Works adhering to this trope might functions as [[Real Life]] [[Brain Bleach]].
