The Dangers In My Heart started off a little rocky, with Season 1 mainly being concluded as "decent" at least for me. I didn't really like Ichikawa and Yamada was definitely leaning on the more generic side of female protagonists for romcoms. Solid season, nothing noteworthy however. Now in comes Season 2. Usually, you find the second season of the generic anime romcom to be more of the same shit you see in Season 1, with little development of the characters and romance. The Dangers In My Heart FINALLY nails what a sequel to an anime romcom should be, genuine progress of the two protagonist's relationship. Not the lazy fan service scene or a shoe-horned in comedic relief joke which breaks the tension when real romance is about to take place. The romance in TDIMH actually realizes and is very touching and emotional in numerous scenes. Its a breath of fresh air to see this happen and not follow the eye-rolling troupes of the many romcoms that exist.
I actually feel something watching Ichikawa and Yamada interact with each other and not feel like its some usual cookie cutter romance I've seen hundreds of times before. Season 2 stacks on top of what Season 1 laid out, and didn't simply replicate it. It's a joy to watch and hopefully you will give it a shot.
