by It’s a romance anime that will keep you excited from the first episode.
It’s been about a month and a half since the Winter 2024 anime started airing. To capture the hearts of viewers, the most important episode is the attention-grabbing episode. How did this highly anticipated work start? This time, let’s look back at some of the most talked about romantic comedies that have been said to have excited me from the first episode.
The second season of “My Heart’s Dangerous Guy” is also a hot topic this season.
The first season was broadcast in April 2023, and it can be said that “Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu,” based on the manga of the same name by Norio Sakurai, is a highly anticipated anime this season. This work is a youthful love story between junior high school students, Kyotaro Ichikawa (CV: Shun Horie), who is secretive and likes bizarre books about murder, and Anna Yamada (CV: Hina Hitsujimiya), who is positive and has an outstanding style. Although the two have opposite personalities, Ichikawa can’t take his eyes off Yamada when she stuffs her mouth with rice balls and hums, which is not typical of a beautiful girl.
The focus was on how the distance between them, who gradually grew closer in the first season, would develop in the second season. The second season’s first episode focuses on school life in the third semester, and Yamada tries to help Ichikawa, who has a broken arm. Still, despite their feelings for each other, they somehow don’t get along, and from the first episode.
A love story that makes you feel the exquisite sense of “Boku Yaba” unfolded. After the first episode aired, there were comments online such as, “Even though they were in love with each other, it was a development full of youth from the first episode,” and “Yamada is as cute as ever, and Ichikawa has become cool.” It seems that many viewers are already “death with respect” at the heart-throbbing development of the two. The second season of “My Heart’s Dangerous Guy” has been broadcast on 24 TV Asahi stations nationwide since January 6 and is being exclusively distributed on “Amazon Prime Video.”
“Yubisaki to Koi-ni” with its attractive soundless production “Yubisaki to Koi-ni” is based on the manga of the same name by Suu Morishita. It depicts a pure love story between Yuki Itose (CV: Sumire Morohoshi), a female college student born with a hearing impairment, and Itsuomi Naki (CV: Yu Miyazaki), a senior at the same university. In the first episode, when Yuki is in trouble because a foreigner calls out to her, she is saved by Itsuomi.
Yuki senses a suspicion that she is in love with Itsuomi, who is unfazed by the fact that she lives in a world without sound and interacts with nature and begins to be conscious of him. When Yuki went to a restaurant with her friend, she reconnected with Itsuomi, who was working there, and Itsuomi started to take an interest in sign language. On social media, the story seems to have received high praise for its careful portrayal of a pure love story, with comments such as, “Even though Yuki can’t speak, she has a rich expression and was so emotional that I cried from the first episode.” “Yubisaki to Koii” has been broadcast on TOKYO MX, MBS, BS Nippon Television, etc., since January 6, 2024, and distributed sequentially on various sites such as ABEMA and U-NEXT.
“Dosanko Gal Hanamaramenkoi” is thrilling due to the sense of distance. “Hokkaido Gal Hanamaramenkoi” is based on the manga of the same name by Kai Ishinada, which started serialization as a one-shot in “Shonen Jump+.” In the first episode, the main character, Tsubasa Shiki (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki), who has just moved from Tokyo to Kitami City, Hokkaido, is lost in the middle of winter when she meets Minami Fuyuki (CV: Sakura), a bare-legged blonde gal wearing a miniskirt. Ayane) will help you. When they meet the next day again and learn that they are classmates from the same high school, Minami suddenly invites Tsubasa out on a date at her house, and the distance between the two of them grows closer together at the pace of a Hokkaido gal who speaks a strong dialect. Seeing her suddenly so close to him physically and mentally, he must have felt “Namaramenkoi” (very cute).
After the first episode, it was a hot topic on the internet, with comments such as “Minami’s closeness makes my heart flutter” and “Dialect gals have amazing destructive power.” Additionally, this work is set in Kitami City, Mr. Ikeda’s hometown. The realistic scenery of the city is also a highlight.
