I really like the way boku yaba presents its characters like I’m so used to romance anime presenting the guy/girl love interest as this dreamy perfect person who can do no wrong and is smooth about everything and how everyone gushes about how perfect they are, meanwhile boku yaba doesn’t do that
It’s true that at the very beginning they show Yamada to be the stereotypical Perfect Popular Girl Everyone Loves tm but makes sense bc the story is told from Ichikawa’s POV, we see what he perceives and knows so he believes she’s like that until he (and us) learns she’s actually a silly gal vibing
Neither of them are the dreamy perfect romance interest OR at least not to us bc (to me at least) the point is that we shouldn’t find them perfect, it’s them who should find each other perfect
Also very funny to me that the literal perfect guy who is so dreamy is treated as a rival/threat, great thing to show that girls not always want the perfect guy sometimes they want a small emo edge lord boyfriend
#the dangers in my heart#not an analysis bc it’s dumb as hell just wanted to ramble a bit#also before someone says ichikawa is smooth bc of rizz or whatever#reminder this kid goes through all the stages of grief and has panics attacks before hand#the smoothness comes for a price and that price is constant anxiety#unrelated but this is also why I love romantic killer#they show the guys as dreamy too but the more you watch the more you see they either have issues#or worked through their issues to become better they weren’t born perfect#pls watch romantic killer it’s a really great anime the protagonist is the best girl ever
