binged watched Romantic Killer in a day on a whim and it's been sooo long since I binged a good anime.

At first I thought it was just your normal cute funny shojo anime but it was so good!! I really loved the main character of Anzu bc she is literally me - dress wise, cook wise, priorities wise (our pets, hobbies and chocolate obsession) and I also love how the characters weren't shallow stereotypes of your ideal partners. They had backgrounds and were fleshed out and they had feelings. And the storyline for Kazuki was heartbreaking and had me genuinely scared. And with the small background for Anzu's best friend Saki!!! It was horrible to see but realistic. Anzu is just the friend everyone wants and needs.

I think it was a good show and worth the watch. It's funny, it's cute, its serious, has great characters both main and side. The voice acting for Anzu was awesome in my opinion, I absolutely loved it.

I want a season 2 and I might just read the manga bc I want to know what that little teaser with Kate and her... 'new subject' leads to and also who Anzu might end up with...!!!

ROMANTIC KILLER (2019-2020) by momose wataru

[i-am-a-bad-gens]

Romantic Killer

Today I watched this manga and I loved it. It was really entertaining, funny but also serious at the end. All the cliché are broken with the heroin but at the same time it's so cliché because of Riri's tricks. For now, the end is open so everyone can imagine and hope for the « couple » they love. Anzu is strong, kind, insightful (excepted in love ahah). She is the best friend ever not only to Saki but to anyone who need it. She’s priceless, nobody can hate her ! And she loves the best things in the world : video games, cats and chcoolate.

I loved every character to be honest (not the psycho woman of course).

I quickly understood the reason of Tsukasa's behavior and i loved the duality between his « I don't care » nature and his joy from little things with Anzu and Junta. I was touched  a lot by his story. His vulnerability and fear, because he is a teenager who has suffered the toxicity of his father and of a psychopath was really well shown and it's difficult to make something so serious in a comic manga. I really love him.

The appearance of Junta was really funny and surprising. He's really cute, innocent, shy, fair and kind. He's a great character but, unfortunatly he's on of those we love but not as much as someone more contrasted. Despite of that, I find really funny that he is the one in love with Anzu for a long time and he always arrive at awkward moments.

Riri was really surprising. At first I thought he was going to be the annoying useless little thing (Like Happy in Fairy tail) but he was not. He/She was funny and i really loved him/her as the twins Riri and Rio. I became to get very attached to him/her even before the dating episode. They managed to made him funny, annoying, touching and essential. When he/she was not here, I was searching for him/her.

Hijiri is not as deep as other character but he is cute. He is a full cliché of the rich guy who elvolve. For me, he is not in love with Anzu so it's quite great to see him as an unexpected friend. I love the friendship he built with Anzu. Also he is really grateful with Tsuchiya and that's something I find really cool.

Tsuchiya is a character I love a lot even if he is not really present. Every little moment between him and Anzu make my heart pound. It's an unexpected pretender in my opinion. Maybe a lot of people didn't saw him like this but I did. He seems really kind, helpful, cute and devoted to anyone he like. He is the only adult so maybe, it could be an akward couple with Anzu, but I like to think that he is young adult so it's okay. He is not my favorite but i do really love him and it's an interessting option for Anzu.

I can't remember the childhood/rival friend but he was cute, I was hoping to see more of him.

On antoher side, I really ship a couple Saki x Makoto. Aren't they rellay cute together ? The festival scene with the toxic ex was really something. makoto is a lovely character. He is kind, funny, natural, protective and smart. Saki have the same quality, they belong so well together. Maybe you guess it but, personally I'm team Tsukasa with a real love the little moments with Tsuchiya even if he is a side character. I don't know if I want a season 2… I love the end this way !

And you, which team are you ?

about Romantic Killer (BIG SPOILERS)

ok i just finished watching Romantic Killer and it's so good wtf????????? the plot developed so much better than i was expecting at first?????? Anzu is such a good character and such a good friend????? so i need to ramble about it bare with me for a moment

the show is hilarious and i love how exaggerated the funny expressions are, but it also has some rly serious part damn im legit impressed (Anzu and Kazuki's first hug kinda got me tearing up ngl)

each of the characters is slowly developed so well. like damn. Kazuki's story is specially detailed and it caught me by surprise when they showed the flashbacks of the first episodes after we found out why he became so distant and conscious of people and everything made so much sense. and he felt so realistic in the way he reacted, his struggle to open up and every single time he started feeling anxious and panicking in public was so well done (and i wanted to take him away from the crowd and pat his head every time ugh T_T). i was just slightly dissapointed that right on the last episode he admited that he started crushing on Anzu bc after the entire season of them just being an amazing duo of friends i was so hopeful we would finally get a 'love interest' turned only best friend (bc lets admit its not like she doesnt already have enough ppl interested in her without Kazuki being one of them too). bc i was enjoying headcanoning him as aroace as i was watching :') oh well. maybe if it ends up not having a s2 i can pretend he realized he wasnt in love and he just loves her platonically a lot! if they dont give me the aroace boy i will rip it from their cold dead hands! :D

and i loved the plot twist on how Junta was actually her true childhood friend all along and she took so long to realize... his feelings were totally real awwwww and he is really a sweetheart, i like the childhood friend trope! buuuut i gotta admit im just living for the huge crush Makoto clearly has on Junta. boyo isn't hiding it very well. that scene when Makoto holds Saki's hand and takes her away from the triggering situation? that was gay x lesbian solidarity right there !

and Saki OH MY GOD SAKI. the episode focused on showing how the two of them became friends and how important Anzu is to her and the way she has always defended her and what Saki went through oh god... her story was so realistic and seeing her reaction seeing that stupid ass ex was such a realistic depiction of a kind of trauma like that. she's such a good character im so happy they developed her so well and didnt make her just an irrelevant school friend character!!! (also she's a lesbian i am not taking criticism- /hj)

i need to mention how Anzu is absolutely bisexual btw. her reaction to meeting Kazuki's sister? she literally straight up said "i'll fall for her" c'mon

and Riri!!! omg!!!! little genderfluid chaos gremlin!!!!!!!! i was so so happy that not only Anzu girbossed her way to getting them out of their punishment but she got them to permanently live on the human world AND officially made them one of the love interests??? ULTIMATE GIRLBOSS MOVE Anzu i love you so much dear. so ngl i lowkey would like seeing Anzu end up with Riri/Rio the most ksjefhskdjf badass girl x genderfluid gremlin??? so much potential cmon they literally were punished for breaking magic rules bc they care too much about Anzu that's so fucking cute skjfhsdf

and Hijiri!!!!! from a little annoying rich bastard to a little just slightly annoying tsundere rich baby!!! i really like that he's interested in her and all but ultimately he's just there working and helping her out a lot like he becomes genuinely a great friend??

so yeah. as one can tell from the immense number of written words here i have liked this anime quite a lot. binged it in a day, all at once, no regrets. i'll be happy if there's a 2nd season if it is as good as this 1st one, bc this was amazing! so glad i decided to give it a chance <3 there's even more things i could talk about here but i dont wanna write a novel chapter of a post so i'll stop here LMAO

but really, if you're into comedy, romance and some nice character development, you won't regret giving Romantic Killer a chance :)

While Hijiri might be my favorite of the guys overall, I’d still want Anzu to end up with Tsukasa or Saki - if she has to end up with anyone at all (which honestly she doesn’t. She’s great on her own). I’m sorry, Junta, I still love you too

[gingersaurus]

Anzu and Saki are Aro/Ace Solidarity

ICE-COLD MURDER WITH A SIDE HELPING OF ELEGANCE

[ausernamethatisntalreadytakenn]

So I guess the author of Romantic Killer says that there won't be plans for another season or any more chapters. Excuse me while I go be a little sad about it 😂 fanfic writers better step up their game 😞

Okay so I know the poll isn’t over yet and I’ll still write about whichever one wins but I love romantic killer so I’m going to write about it here

☆〜（ゝ。∂）

My headcannons for romantic killer

• Tsukasa brings home little cat trinkets for Anzu when he goes shopping, he put them in her room for her without saying he bought anything.

•Hijiri is a really bad singer but he thinks he’s great because no one has ever told him otherwise for fear of losing their job.

•Makoto has period products that he carries with him for his female friends if they need them, he’s never grossed out by any of it because of all his sisters.

•Hijiri’s crush on Anzu was at first sight. When She got in the car he liked her immediately, that’s a reason why he was so willing to work to win her over.

•Saki gets on average 5-7 love confessions a day, sometimes from guys who have already asked her out!

•Junta is a master at sleeping in loud or uncomfortable situations since his younger siblings come and sleep in his bed when they have nightmares.

*We’re so twin like that, I have a billion younger siblings too, (four) so falling asleep in an uncomfortable position is second nature*

•Saki once had her brother beat up a creepy older guy who was following her around, it was witnessed by others and nobody ever followed or creeped on her again.

•Anzu needs white noise to sleep at night but Tsukasa can’t stand it. It’s always a battle about who will get their way that night.

•Anzu likes the weirdest food combos, like dipping her veggies in barbecue sauce, or adding cinnamon to her soup at dinner, it’s appalling to see her eat it to everyone around her.

•Junta likes pistachio ice cream, and Anzu makes fun of it and says he’s like an old man.

•Riri is constantly having to have their wand sanitized because Anzu keeps throwing it into contaminants for casting annoying spells.

•Makoto wears perfume instead of cologne because it smells better to him

•Makoto had really girly things as a kid because they were hand me downs from his sisters

•Hijiri is a germaphobe. Once Junta sneezed around him and he stayed home from school for a week because he needed to “quarantine” himself.

I wasnt the only one who immediately thought and accepted too absurdly fast that Riri had just fucking killed that stalker girl right

my thoughts on romakira

give me season 2 netflix!!!!

[american-belgian-waffle]

The fact that we didn't get 20 seasons of the Romantic Killer's cast living their life is the biggest downfall ever

[comfied-chriterature]

Okay seriously what is it with the "straight a student popular girl adored by everyone as the most beautiful and most caring and helpful actually resents everyone around her and the pedestal she's been put on and fake smiles her way through the day" always having PURPLE HAIR??

(Also she's comphet lesbian-coded -> "Little Miss Perfect" vibes LMAO)
