Synopsis

After an eventful winter break, Kyoutarou Ichikawa and Anna Yamada reunite with a stronger bond. They continue to grow in their own ways, with Yamada taking on more challenging photoshoots and Ichikawa maturing both physically and emotionally as he tackles his affections for Yamada. However, spending time together outside of school allows for their relationship to deepen, and it becomes increasingly difficult to deny their budding romantic feelings.

Grappling with these unexpected and new emotions, Ichikawa and Yamada realize that, with the passage of time, their relationship is bound to change—and they must ultimately decide whether they wish to remain close friends or finally become a couple.

The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 was an incredible run from start to finish, and I cannot believe how far we have come since the “cringe” start at the beginning of this series. This season has provided a ton of fun, quite a few laughs, quite a few pay-offs, and some emotional moments as well. Apart from the sheer sweetness of this series, Kyoutarou’s growth has been incredible to watch, and as someone who shares some of the same traits as him, like being an introvert, some of his character growth really resonated with me, and he continues to be easily my favourite character ... in this series. It is so early in the year, but it is already an anime of the year contender for me.

I tend to like most romance anime that I have watched, but the one wall that they almost always hit is never really escaping the “Will they, won’t they?” phase of the show. Characters meander and the story progression goes at a snail’s pace, which in due time, makes the story lose its charm. A big reason for that is the caricatures and tropes of the characters that are in love. For example, whenever the main female character is a tsundere, all we see is her punching the dude or denying her feelings. In this show, there is no such annoying trope, and the dynamic between the two leads is a breath of fresh air. It’s just two somewhat socially awkward teens just getting to understand one another, without the progression being too dragged out. Of course, I also love seeing the female lead be taller than the male lead, as it is just a unique touch to the whole dynamic.

Another aspect of the series I really enjoy are some of the subtleties to the character growth. The characters feel somewhat realistic, in that they physically grow, something normal for their age of course. Kyoutarou grows a little taller, his voice deepens a bit, and Anna might be a bit excited, but it was never a huge deal. The characters understand more about one another at a nice pace. What was unknown at one point gets learned later on, such as when Anna understands how Kyoutarou would retract back into his shell when he was in certain situations, or Kyoutarou would understand how Anna would feel at a particular time. When they talk to each other, they might stumble on their words sometimes, but when it matters, they know exactly what to say. Overall, I really enjoyed how the show never got “in your face” about the character growth.

Kyoutarou has been a pretty relatable character to me to some extent, especially with his introversion. Kyoutarou's challenges with socializing and public speaking kind of resemble how parts of my life have went. I was a pretty chatty kid, but as I grew into my teenage years, for some reason I got more reserved, and I had stage fright and a fear of public speaking. Yeah, I took drama classes, and classes that required me to talk with others, but I was not, and still am not the most talkative person around in the slightest. Whenever I saw Kyoutarou talk to his inner self, while it might feel somewhat cliché, it always was executed perfectly because it acknowledges that a lot of the time, the biggest thing holding someone back is themselves. Deep down, they know they can do whatever they set their mind to, but they sell themselves short. Like people say, sometimes a person's worst enemy is themselves, so whenever Kyoutarou achieved something substantial, I was so proud of him.

As for the other characters, there aren’t any real weaknesses to the cast. Anna of course is a very cute, somewhat awkward character that put a lot of proactive care into developing the relationship further. Most of the other characters were really fun to watch, and support the main duo very well. They all know about Kyoutarou and Anna’s blossoming relationship, but they always let the two grow by themselves (save for that flash mob group), even if they would sometimes create situations where that was possible. The parents, relatives, friends, everyone in their social circle were so supportive, and happy whenever both Kyoutarou or Anna were successful, to the point where it would always warm my heart. No unnecessary family drama, no unnecessary love triangles, just friends and family being wholesome and supportive. Moeko and Kana probably had the best moments as side characters, but there is not one bad character in this series. No, not even the perverted guys. Sure, it might be a bit exaggerated, but people at that age always have something dirty to talk about.

The visuals and directing were for the most part, very solid. The blurriness does get a little much at times, but it never hindered my enjoyment. The staff did a fantastic job of really having the emotional moments hit hard. Kensuke Ushio, who worked on the music, continues to show that he is one of the best in the business right now, right there with Kevin Penkin and Evan Call, possibly Hiroyuki Sawano as well, at really elevating the show to new heights.

It has been nothing but joy watching this show every week. I never thought a romcom could surpass *Kaguya-sama: Love is War* for me, but this has been something truly special. The sheer state of giddiness I would be in before starting each episode was a testament to how much of an impact this show has had on me. Whether or not we see this series return anytime soon, it’ll still hold a place near and dear to my heart, which was in danger almost every week of watching this.

Mixed Feelings

If you've come far enough see this review you're probably wondering whether bokuyaba is actually a great romcom worth watching or just another overrated mess that won't have such a high rating in one or two years. Answering that question is surprisingly pretty easy. It comes down to one thing and one thing only : how much escapism do you want in your anime?

Throughout both S1 and S2 there's a shit ton of moments when ichikawa just goes around the school or even OUTSIDE the school, following yamada's ass because he's "worried about her" in a manner that is nothing short of stalker behavior. ... And what happens when he's finally caught in the act? Ichikawa rambles on about how he's so disgusting for doing this(which is true duh) but yamada just thanks him for worrying about her and some other anime bullshit that I don't remember cuz anime bullshit always sounds the same. Obviously not the reaction you expect from a real person. In the real world your girlfriend would want you to just tell her that you wanted to come with her or she'll say that she has her own privacy and you don't have to follow her everywhere. And there are LOTS of illogical stuff like this happening in every episode of this show that are played off as sweet or comedic. Now I can hear you practically screaming my imaginary friend that " THIS IS ANIME IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE REAL WORLD" and you know what? You're absolutely correct.

Anime as a whole is a medium about suspension of disbelief. There's a reason why we have words like anime logic because (excluding outliers like monster) only by accepting that the logic existing in anime is different from the real world you can start to enjoy the plot and characters presented to you for what they are. Problem is bokuyaba doesn't present you with anything too crazy in any area.

I will admit the animation can be stellar at times and it's pretty cool overall. Music is passable. The plot...well romcoms are never about their plot so let's skip this one and then we have the characters...ugh.

The characters here are either pretty generic or one dimensional stereotypes without any exception. I've seen a lot of praise for ichikawa's character development and I just don't agree. He gets some development sure. But There are so many other characters with the same premise that are done way better (like hachiman and gintoki imo) and compared to them ichikawa is just average. And that's the main character. Yamada is paper thin and her whole character is based on her feelings for ichikawa and her love for modeling. None of which are well explored. The remaining cast is also trash but I don't remember their names and don't care enough to look them up just to explain why they're trash so you'll have to forgive me for that. But if you've watched your fair share of anime there's nothing here you haven't seen before. There's the gyaru, the silent girl who actually cares about her friends, heroine's childhood friend , the womanizer senpai who is MC's rival and get this... THE PERVERT BOY WHO TALKS ABOUT BOOBS ALL THE TIME! IN A ROMCOM ANIME!! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So with all that out of the way. Why this show has become so beloved despite its flaws? It's the escapism. The male fantasy. And romantic moments so sweet they will give you diabetes. The most popular girl in the class who is also a model Falling for the edgy unattractive loner is a pretty sweet fantasy but everything else about this show is so half baked that I didn't really understand the hype surrounding it.(and yeah it won't have such a high rating in two years)

Funny

"peak romcom, best romcom, masterpiece romcom bla bla bla"
This show too generic and about trope "mob mc with heroine popular"

Look this, mc role mob with emocringe haircut and heroine weird with random behavior make her cringe, but everyone liked her because have big boobs lmao

This show for hallucinations people dreaming get popular girl with big boobs, and author girl have fetish shota. Her often make seggs bait scene in manga makes me feel disgusting because they are middle school.

This show looks mid compared to other anime romance middle school like Tsuki ga Kirei and Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san.

I can't see them as a couple because ...
