Kyotaro Ichikawa, a boy barely clinging to the bottom rung of his school's social ladder, secretly believes he’s the tortured lead in some psychological thriller. He spends his days dreaming up ways to disrupt his classmates' peaceful lives and pining after Anna Yamada, the class idol. But Kyotaro's not nearly the troubled teen he pretends to be…and it turns out Anna's a bit odd herself!
This show, "**The Dangers in My Heart**," started out super awkward, like, way too cringey. But then, it turned into this super sweet story about two characters growing up. I actually liked it from the beginning, even with all the cringe, but by the end, it was one of my favorite shows of the season!
The main character, **Kyoutarou**, is basically the king of cringe. He's all edgy and creepy, even saying he wants to hurt his classmates (yikes!). I thought that would be the whole joke, but he actually turned out to be a good guy. He might act tough on the outside, but he's actually really good at noticing stuff and helping people, even though he's a little strange.
Each episode title has the word "Karte" in it, which is like a patient's medical file in Japanese. It's kind of like watching Kyoutarou slowly get better from his "**chuunibyou**" phase, which is basically just acting super dramatic. It's cool how they show this without just telling you. You see him slowly open up, talk to more people, and become braver. It's rare to see a character grow in such a natural way, especially in a romcom, which can be pretty predictable sometimes. Plus, it's cool that Kyoutarou is shorter than the girl he likes, something you don't see much in anime!
Then there's **Anna**, who seems perfect to everyone else. But guess what? She's kind of a goofball who does some crazy stuff that makes you wonder what she's thinking. At first, Kyoutarou puts her on a pedestal, but as they get closer, that pedestal shrinks, and even though she's taller, they feel closer.
The way the show is **Animated** is awesome too, The music is great too, by this famous composer who worked on other cool shows.
This whole show, from the awkwardness of young love to the sweet moments that made me feel all warm and fuzzy, is one of my favorite romcoms ever. I really hope these two goofballs get to have more adventures together!
