Jitsu wa Watashi wa (Actually, I am...)

One day after school, Asahi Kuromine stumbles upon the truth that Youko Shiragami, the girl he has a crush on, is actually a vampire. According to her father's rules, Youko must now quit school in order to keep her family safe. However, Asahi does not want her to go and promises that he will keep her true nature secret. Unfortunately, this turns out to be easier said than done, as Asahi is a man who is easy to read and is unable to keep any secrets to himself.

And this is only the beginning of his troubles—more supernatural beings enter his life, and he is forced to protect all of their identities or face the consequences. Jitsu wa Watashi wa follows Asahi as he deals with his new friends and the unique challenges they bring, struggles to keep his mouth shut, and desperately tries to win Youko's heart in the process.

Have you ever heard of or watched the famous Twilight? It's a serious romance story between a human and a vampire. If there's an opposite version or vibe of it, I think this is the one, but seriously hilarious.

So this anime was part of my getaway animes since 2015. Jitsu wa Watashi wa or Actually I am is a supernatural romantic comedy show about a love story of a human and a vampire. I just found this anime somewhere on google, and seriously, I didn't regret a bit watching it. Heck, I watched this anime numerous times and I never get tired of it.

The story ... was somewhat cliched. It's a story of a timid, yet honest boy named, Kuromine Asahi. He was known as "the leaky basket" by his friends and classmates because he can't keep a single secret. He's 100 percent honest. Even his secret that he had a crush on the mysterious Shiragami Youko and he planned to confess to her. But all things didn't end well when he found out Youko's secret that she's a vampire. She had a condition to her pops that if some people found her secret, she was going to drop school. But Asahi can't keep a secret so he swore with all of his heart to protect it. And the funny thing is, his confession was a failure. Because he ended up being her friend, which isn't a bad thing.

Even though the premise was generic, the comedy and the humor sold me off. Especially when the other characters had unique personalities and characteristics. There's an alien, a perverted werewolf, a childhood friend wearing talking glasses, and a demon principal. All those women were a pain in the ass for Asahi because he couldn't keep a secret and how the heck is he supposed to keep it from everyone? Which the characters lead to a series of unfortunate events and how they would solve them. The funny thing about this show was the unexpected situations. And of course, the romance between the characters bloomed in their relationship with Asahi. I know Asahi will end up with Youko but I still ship him to Mikan or Nagisa. I haven't read the manga but the last episode was a cliffhanger and unsatisfying.

The animation was decent. Surprisingly, it was animated by TMS Entertainment, known for its romantic comedy animes, especially shoujos like Fruits Basket. The art from the manga was not good but the animation style was improved. The expressions of the characters were solid, especially the humor expressions. It gave a good romantic vibe.

I like the music and I didn't know it was composed by Nijine or Akito Matsuda. Akito Matsuda is good at composing music from light-hearted romantic comedy and I like the variations of HOLOGRAM insert song. It was cute and sweet, as well as funny. The OP was decent but the ED was forgettable. Heck, I haven't heard the ED since the first I watched it.

The characters were solid. I like the uniqueness of the characters, especially Mikan. Although she always bullied him she kept her secret for a long time that she's in love with Asahi. She always supports his back. Other characters were good as well. I found Youko's speaking was a bit annoying, even her being air-headed. Asahi is a good character, as well as his development in how hard he tried in keeping secrets. The principal was kinda annoying though.

Overall, this show was hilariously funny. The show had its best parts and some boring parts. But despite its flaws, in the end, I still really enjoyed it. If you want a supernatural rom-com about vampires, I might recommend this show to you. This is so enjoyable than you ever know.

Mixed Feelings

A romance anime that initially delivers a slightly different proposition. A boy who doesn't know how to lie discovering the secret of a vampire in his class.

During the anime more secrets of other characters are presented, and until then the anime was very fun. However, from episode 6 onwards, the plot begins to decline and what was fun in the anime began to take a backseat.

The introduction of some characters from episode 6 made the anime quite disappointing with the direction it took, along with its ending, which opens the door for a second season, but does not bring the feeling that the story has ...

Your typical go nowhere harem, just trying to use strange characters as part of the harem to make it interesting, and failing badly.

Where we normally have one clueless male typically as the MC, instead we have a bunch of clueless people, all in love with the same guy, and sometimes a is trying to help b, or b thinks a likes c.

It's obvious and see-through who the show wants someone to be with, as the comparative air time, Though the characters are a bit unique, there is no depth to them, they are generic in thinking and it gets boring quick and is ...
