This series is acclaimed for being realistic when it’s quite the opposite. The reason is simple: its author relies on cheap, superficial drama with stereotypical characters. Just give them internal conflicts—no matter how absurd and unrealistic they are—the important thing is to provoke a feeling of false empathy for them in the viewer. Obviously, by using drama or cruelty you’ll create the illusion of depth and a sense of “realism,” but in reality, it’s just another element used to generate emotional impact, not the real concept of realism.
Apparently, we’re supposed to feel sorry for the MC, who happens to be a blond, very attractive, and
...
very tall guy—practically a magazine model—but who, of course, and for the sake of convenience in this story worthy of a cheap shoujo or romance, feels lonely and unloved. There’s nothing wrong with that; we all have insecurities regardless of how we look. However, the reasons behind all this are absurd and childish, worthy of a Disney movie.
The protagonist is “hated” and “exiled” from society because of his appearance—more specifically, because he’s “intimidating.” This is defended with the excuse of Japanese cultural norms, but let’s be realistic: if such a guy existed in real life, he’d be a total ladies’ man. Yet in this series, people supposedly despise and shun him. The character plays the noble role of a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued, but it’s just a typical, classic way to attract a female audience. The fact that he lives constantly depressed and pensive also makes no sense. I don’t want to sound heartless or lacking empathy, but his reasons are pathetic. He feels lonely, yet he has a great group of friends who care about him and put him first, and on top of that, he has an excellent mother who talks to him whenever she can. Where do these “emotions” even come from? It’s easy to see the author’s intentions with this character: it’s just a vague attempt to make us pity him and create a cheap emotional hook for the viewer—the typical, necessary approach for works of this kind, especially in romance.
Now let’s move on to the female protagonist of this story, who is, without a doubt, the idealized male stereotype for a romantic partner. She plays the same role as the male lead, only reversed—in this case, designed to hook the male audience. I don’t have a problem with that; again, these are crucial elements to grab attention in a work of this kind. But I had never seen/read a series so blatant about it—it doesn’t even try to hide its intentions. They’re so obvious that it’s almost uncomfortable to watch.
Allow me to explain: the female lead is extremely kind from the start. There’s no hint of distrust, and they cover this up with the cheap excuse that she knew him before and “that’s just how she is.” However, in every shot, every drawing, or setting where this girl appears, she’s given the necessary focus to stand out. It’s a desperate attempt by the author to make sure you notice her, pay attention to her, and adore/worship her. There’s nothing practical, creative, or innovative about her character, but somehow the author wants us to love her for no reason. And it’s so blatant—they just show it outright, with some generic lines in the background but first-class lighting and camera shots.
In short, she’s a very generic character created solely and exclusively to please the viewer. This series plays the same card over and over, trying to “teach” you things by generating cheap drama and “deepening” its characters with shallow emotions that lack real meaning—precisely because we know nothing about them, or the situations behind them don’t warrant such an uproar or emotion. Even so, it works—and works very well—thanks to the huge fandom behind it.
Don’t expect incredible chemistry or realistic interactions between the two leads. Nothing happens beyond the usual romantic tropes—pointless blushing and exaggerated expressions. I had the same problem with the manga, and I hoped the adaptation would change my perspective, but it only confirmed it. There’s no seduction behind their interactions, making their relationship and exchanges feel forced and unnatural.
If you’re looking for top-tier romance, you’ll be disappointed. The work does have good elements, such as introspection, which—despite feeling quite forced—is still eye-catching in a romance story. But the romantic aspect is awful and unrealistic.

This story portrays a facet of human nature in a way that is both cruel and beautiful. What could lead a person to commit such acts as murder or suicide? If you struggle with mental health issues, this is definitely not recommended. There is no black or white in this story—absolutely everyone is a victim.
It’s a tale full of symbolism and foreshadowing. The innocent tone it presents is irritating and unsettling, yet it mirrors childhood—a stage that represents hope but also cruelty. This story shows how innocence is corrupted in such a raw way that it becomes uncomfortable to watch, yet you can’t look away.
Once
...
you’ve been a victim of human cruelty, it becomes impossible to empathize with those who hurt you. The reason is clear: you become blinded by egoism and blame others for your suffering. It’s a trait we all share as human beings and something we can’t avoid. Takopi's Original Sin shows you the other side of the coin—the side we’re unable to see, because in the end, we’re all victims.
Every action has consequences. When we are hurt by others, when our freedom is taken from us, we become filled with resentment and hatred. We want everything that torments our happiness to disappear. Our morality becomes corrupted, and all we seek is inner peace.
What’s portrayed in this story can be interpreted in many ways depending on your personality and what you consider morally right. By touching on such delicate and cruel topics, it naturally sparks controversy and may even cause you to question your own morals. An emotionally cruel yet fascinating journey that will make you reflect.

A story with the perfect balance between fiction and reality. A love letter to romance and a masterpiece of its genre.
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu is quite popular, but still not sufficiently recognized due to its subtlety and brilliance. Rather than being seen for its true concept and excellent writing, it is perceived as a “cute” and calm series. However, there is much more than meets the eye—its genius and insight do not lie in the message it tries to convey, but in the connection between its protagonists and what bonds them to each other.
At first glance, it might seem like a generic story:
...
a very attractive, model-like, and popular girl becomes involved with and falls in love with an asocial boy with psychopathic tendencies. What kind of pathetic otaku fetish is this? That’s usually the first thought that comes to mind, and given its extreme and strange introduction, it’s not very convincing or pleasant to watch, especially because of how rawly it portrays teenagers and their real behaviors. Instead of resorting to fiction, it turns to reality, which can be uncomfortable—especially in the first three episodes.
But therein lies its greatness and brilliance: what initially appears to be a fetishistic and pathetic story gradually transforms into a tale of real connection—a natural story that turns that initial fetish into something genuine and believable. What is the author aiming for by portraying such negative and uncomfortable yet realistic behaviors?
The answer is simple: change. The series seeks to portray teenage rebellion, insecurity, and the transition to adulthood. At first, this might not seem to be the case, as the series doesn’t delve into these concepts explicitly. But it works on them subtly. Why? Because it aims to present that realism by showing the process in a credible, banal, and indirect way. It avoids overt emotional depth to preserve the fact that these are teenagers—not unrealistically mentally mature individuals.
The author’s intention, I repeat, is not to tell or teach us something. His goal is to show the process in such a way that it reaches us—touches the viewer’s heart. And he achieves that wonderfully.
Now that we understand the foundation of the writing and why it’s so underestimated, let’s move on to the relationship between the protagonists and how the author, through his ingenuity, transformed an impossible, fantastical relationship into one that feels realistic and meaningful. I’m not talking about a new form of writing or something revolutionary—it’s something that already exists: seduction.
Love is psychological. Most of us have a void inside that we’re unaware of, a void we hope someone else will fill. Normally, we leave that process to chance—it’s the most common approach. While exploring the unknown is part of us, not everyone seeks the truth, because it terrifies us. So we let someone else do the work. With that in mind, let’s see how this relates to the protagonists:
Kyotaro Ichikawa, the male protagonist, is captivated by the female lead’s beauty. However, that’s something superficial and devoid of emotion. At first, it’s simply sexual interest. But over time, we come to understand that the foundation of his love isn’t so mundane. Doubt and fear are part of who he is, like any teenager. He hides within himself to escape reality and live in self-deception as a form of protection, creating a mask in the process. This behavior already tells us he lacks something crucial: self-confidence and the fear of being judged—his greatest insecurity.
Part of his so-called "psychopathic" behavior is nothing more than a smokescreen. Behind what he tries to project and believes himself to be, he’s just a kind and shy boy—someone who longs to be accepted but is too cowardly to face his own problems. It’s easier to blame others than to confront the truth.
His love arises from that internal void—from his lack of determination, from his lack of self-confidence. All of this is caused by fear and cowardice born from past experiences. Anna Yamada has what he lacks: determination and the courage to move forward, the strength to overcome adversity without giving up. That is what truly captivates him—so much so that, unknowingly, he becomes enslaved by her charms.
Anna Yamada, the female protagonist, is a beautiful girl with a dreamlike life—she’s a model and very popular. It’s interesting how, at first, the series doesn’t portray her as such, even though she gives that impression. The author aims to portray her more realistically, showing the childish behaviors typical of a girl her age rather than the stereotypical role people would expect from someone like her.
Part of that volatile and immature behavior is, in reality, a hint of an existential crisis—a message. Appearances are deceiving. Although this is never explicitly explained, what matters is how Anna is perceived by the world. From the very beginning, it’s clear she seeks attention desperately—she wants to be recognized for more than just her looks.
When you’re attractive, you’re perceived as such—just attractive. We live in a world that judges appearances, where how you look is more important than who you are. That alone is enough for people to treat you differently. The series doesn’t openly reflect this, but it does so subtly: Anna is repeatedly praised for her looks—and only that. From a young age, she’s been cornered by this kind of treatment.
She knows she has nothing more to offer beyond her looks—something that terrifies her, because she fears people will get bored of her and leave her alone someday. She’s aware of how clumsy and careless she is. Ultimately, she wants to be accepted and valued for her intellect rather than her beauty. That’s why she desperately seeks to stand out in something and convince herself that she’s not just a pretty face. Her attraction to Kyotaro stems from that lack of validation—what she yearns for is acceptance and intellect, abilities she desires but feels she lacks.
Over time, Kyotaro realizes that Anna is not what he thought she was—she’s flawed, innocent, and vulnerable. This only captivates and excites him further. Enslaved by her charms and yet tormented by them, he believes she would never notice someone like him. This is important, because **it’s precisely that belief** that slowly drives him away from her. However, without realizing it, he is seducing her—unintentionally and precisely where it matters most.
His egoism and independence, though weaknesses, only intrigue Anna more and add the mystery needed to make the story realistic. The male protagonist never compliments her appearance until much later, when his feelings are finally reciprocated. It's not because he knows how to seduce or understands Anna well—it’s because of his insecurity and egocentrism. He only thinks of himself and whether he’ll be hurt. It’s an unconscious and uncalculated seduction, but devilishly effective.
Anna Yamada could date any guy she wanted—but that would be too boring for her, as it often is for attractive people. That’s why Kyotaro’s distant and cold behavior, combined with genuine interest, makes him even more appealing—indecipherable and mysterious. Kyotaro is an anomaly in the best way. Anna wants to eliminate that anomaly. She wants to possess him—to dominate him.
When we watch the series, we usually believe that she is the one in control of the relationship. But in reality, it’s quite the opposite: it’s the male protagonist who holds the reins. He makes it seem like she’s the one in control, but that’s just part of his unconscious seduction. There is no greater delight than making the seduced believe they hold power over us.
We think that giving everything to someone else will give us power over them, but it’s quite the opposite. If you eat the same thing every day, eventually you’ll crave something different. After all, we’re human—we live in a constant state of boredom. Emotions are what make us feel alive; without them, we’re walking corpses.
Drama is necessary in our lives, even though many complain about it. I summarized what I wanted to say, but in general, this is why the story is so realistic. The author completely understood the dynamics between these two characters and knew exactly how to get the most out of them without sacrificing their essence or the realism of everyday life. The dark psychology behind their relationship is the same reality that many relationships today are built on. We are drawn to what we lack and crave it with all our soul. After all, when we fall in love, we lose the clarity to think rationally—we become slaves to love.
If you're one of those who criticize this story by saying that a girl like Yamada would never be interested in someone like the protagonist, you're just blinded by your own insecurity. See things clearly for what they really are, and stop hiding behind silly arguments to cover up your envy toward those who actually make it. All it shows is that you don't take love and relationships seriously enough.

The beginning was incredible, but the motivation that kept me reading didn't last long. It tries to break the cliché of lack of communication, but takes it so far that its characters lose their essence, causing absolutely all of them to act the same way. Don’t get me wrong, it's a great piece of work, but it's sad to see how it tries to idealize a world without selfishness, without rebellion—a world where everything is sunshine and rainbows... If that’s what people call "realistic" in this manga, they are very mistaken.
Absolutely all of us think of ourselves, we blame others and life itself for our
...
misfortunes and failures. We all have a dark side that we try to repress in order to fit into society. In the end, we all want to be protagonists.
This manga takes the innocence of its story and characters to such an extreme that it becomes overly sweet—a bittersweet candy, a story that tries to evoke emotions but at the same time feels very artificial. Children captivate us with their innocence and insolence, because they are unaware of the world but at the same time they are rebellious, egocentric, and proud—you can't blame them.
This manga erases that fact far too quickly by selling you the idea of good communication, immediately showing it through apologies. Is it wrong to be selfish? Is it wrong to put yourself first? No, it’s not. It's something common and, at some point, inevitable. But it shouldn’t be suppressed, it shouldn’t be seen as something bad—because it's what truly makes us human.
In the end, this story is deeply rooted in the author’s view of a “perfect” world—a world where evil doesn’t exist. Just mentioning that idea already turns the story into a children's fairy tale. There’s no balance in this story. While we do seek fiction in this kind of work, a touch of reality is necessary to maintain equilibrium. There’s a very thin line between the real and the unreal, and generally, we put the unreal/fiction above reality simply because reality itself is too boring—one of the many reasons why this manga is so popular and beloved.

Solo leveling has shown once again that it is not necessary to be well written, complex or have super deep and characteristic characters, you just need constant entertainment, something very important not to bore the viewer and a great animation that is very striking to the eye.
I don't have much to say, in this season we were given more context of the story but it's still an unknown, it was certainly better than the first season but it's still the same old same old. Don't look for a super deep story, super complex characters or a teaching behind this series, turn off your brain, relax
...
and let yourself go, it's that kind of series and surprisingly it never bored me despite having a somewhat generic premise and was quite entertaining.
I would give it a 9/10 but I would be lying to myself, it was simply entertaining, just that and there was no other minimally well worked element that deserves to increase the score at the moment.

My problem with Oshi no Ko has always been the same.
Being totally honest the plot that grabbed me was the unknown behind Ai's murder and aqua's revenge, despite having some weird stuff like reincarnation and not touching that topic again (For the time being) The show does a splendid job judging the entertainment world and gives way to an interesting narrative where revenge is involved, but unfortunately this is a fact that is worked very little to almost null in the series, although it does a great job showing us a realistic perspective of how it is lived inside, I feel that the “real” plot
...
of the series is not executed correctly, also it uses the typical love triangle as a dramatic means and although there is nothing wrong with it, I think it is not appropriate when we talk about a possible revenge and a murder behind, even so I think my problem with the first season was precisely that since the series seemed to give more importance to the silly love dramas than to the narrative that mainly caught me.
In this season it seems that there is more of the same, the truth is that I am liking it a little more than the first season and I have heard that this arc is considered the climax of the work or the best it has to offer, I think they are cooking something strong and that is why I am liking it more, I hope they focus more on the main characters (I think it will be so according to rumors, I do not read the manga) and that the plot goes where it really should go, so far it is doing things right and although it is the same as the first season it seems that this time something big is coming.
Let's see what it has in store for us later on, I

A different romance, finally something different away from the usual with a deep, slow and steady narrative.
Honestly given the direction and the way the show progresses I had high expectations on it, it seems to be one of those shows that speak for themselves and you have to give them time to get involved in their story, the main characters are the best of the show obviously and with a realistic perspective they manage to communicate and form a relationship first as step-siblings, although the idea may seem strange, after the last episode and the way they delve into the protagonists, you come to the
...
conclusion that they are very similar people and gradually you can feel that genuine bond, possibly raise my score but I have to say that I was quite impressed and exceeded my expectations with only 3 episodes, I will have to see how it will develop from now on and how the protagonists will overcome their adversities, I must say that the direction of the program is majestic although I would like your animation or character design was better, even so it is very enjoyable thanks to being one of those works that depend more on its narrative and characters than its animation itself, very surprised with the program and I hope it continues to improve.
I considered giving it a 9 but I think it's too early, if things continue as well as they have so far I will raise my rating, highly recommended if you want a different romance with a realistic perspective and narrative that promises to be interesting and deep.

I don't have much to say about it, I think that at first I applied the sono bisque doll, fan service to get attention and be in everyone's mouth, as a marketing medium that works and it's a fact, however narratively it leaves a lot to be said and it's only confirmed with the premiere of the third episode, the way in which the girl falls in love with the MC seems to me anticlimactic and unrealistic, it is a good concept but it was worked very fast and that makes it very monotonous to my taste, the cliche that I thought it avoided in
...
the beginning was reborn again (love triangle) and that little by little is condemning this work, a shame because it has a good production and character design.
Even so, I want to believe that it will improve throughout the episodes and I hope with all my heart that they don't resort to excessive or very explicit fan service or incestuous morbidness like episode 2 to fill the huge narrative gap that left long, anyway not everything is bad and it seems that they will delve into the MC and the past with his family.
Most likely I will finish it and if that is the case, I will write a better worked review.

I don't see the need to get too technical or nitpicky with this series, objectively it leaves something to be desired and that's a fact, however the way it gets ridiculous and incoherent is appropriate, this series doesn't try to be serious in the least and its narrative/story and characters make it very clear, a series to turn your brain off and not think too much about it, surprisingly entertaining given the direction of the series, the events that happened and the charisma of the characters that being generic are emblematic enough to not bore you, I was impressed how entertaining it was despite not
...
having outstanding moments talking about its characters, MC and narrative and having a somewhat fast pace and not very memorable, don't expect much objectively speaking of a work like this that in the end is nothing more than a meaningless parody of the isekai genre, recommended if you want to laugh a while.
Something I quite liked was the realistic perspective of an MC who is transported to another world, Kazuma and his hatred for not being the typical broken isekai protagonist starting from the bottom actually makes the work more interesting, in the end it's nothing more than a fantasy parody with a comic touch, very good.
Overrall: 8/10
As I mentioned its narrative or characters leave something to be desired, however the rhythm of the series makes the show more enjoyable and enjoyable, the charisma of the characters and how different they are make the show go up a level and being a parody show you can't ask for more, it fulfills its role of entertaining very well and its animation/music is decent anyway, although I think that's the least important thing really.

A calm season unlike the previous ones, although it is a breath of fresh air, the action is almost null but that last episode... is so peak.
Many say that from this point the story becomes mediocre and repetitive, I know very well that this is the case and even though it lacks narrative and story, let's remember that it is ufotable who gave life to this work, the soul and love they put into the animation is unique talking about anime in general.
- A quiet season with little action, a breather.
- it was enjoyable and even more so after that last episode.
7/10
