The primary man to be put in Anzu’s face is the favored Tsukasa Kazuki, becoming all of the archetypes of the pretty-boy falling for our heroine. Second is the childhood finest good friend, Junta Hayami, coming again into Anzu’s life after not talking since center college and having gone by way of a change to turn into a star baseball participant for the highschool group. Lastly, we’re launched to the rich-boy character of Hijiri Koganei, a spoiled inheritor to a megacorporation that thinks he should purchase Anzu’s love by bringing her cats, chocolate, and video video games, changing the whole lot Riri has taken away.

Tsukasa Kazuki will get essentially the most display time with Anzu, which is comprehensible as he’s the primary love curiosity launched after Riri floods the poor man’s condominium forcing him to stick with Anzu. Nonetheless, this detracts from the characterisation of our different two Ikemen, with Junta and Hijiri barely getting any storylines to compete. Nonetheless, there’s a likelihood that that is being saved for a second season.

Romantic Killer does have heart-touching moments that we are able to anticipate from a romance anime, such because the conclusion to Tsukasa’s stalker story seeing his household points reconciled, or Junta’s background being explored as Anzu realises that she has identified him for years, and Riri has not simply picked a random man to try to get her consideration. Even Hijiri will get a heart-softening second as he takes on a part-time job in order to purchase Anzu presents together with his personal cash after she refuses his lavish advances on his father or mother’s bank card.

Nonetheless, all of those moments are completely punctuated with comedic interludes to remind us that Romantic Killer doesn’t take itself too significantly. Riri is the embodiment of this sentiment, pushing the plot together with ridiculous eventualities pulled straight out of dating-sim video games, and Anzu attempting her finest to swat the little fairy away with out seeming solely insane as nobody else can see the small wizard. The identical may be stated for Riri’s human varieties, altering to a lady when Anzu wants one other good friend to make conditions extra snug or into her male kind Rio when misunderstandings must be made for our love pursuits to make a transfer.
