MAL Summary: Ichikawa Kyoutarou may look like a shy and reserved middle school student, but deep within his heart is a bloodthirsty killer. His ultimate desire is to see his classmate Yamada Anna’s beautiful face writhing in pain before he ends her life. But this fantasy may never come to fruition, as Ichikawa starts to see an entirely different side to Yamada. Often seeking refuge in the library, Ichikawa frequently runs into Yamada. It is during these encounters that Ichikawa realizes his model classmate is actually an airhead who can never read the room. As they spend more time together, the boy cannot help but feel not only a sense of endearment toward the very girl he wishes to murder but also a desire to protect her at all costs. Is it possible that this sudden change in Ichikawa’s perspective could lead to something more? --- The Spring 2023 was a very strong season for anime adaptations of excellent manga series: Skip to Loafer, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia and Boku no Kokoro Yabai Yatsu (s1) all aired at the same time, and all received attention, thankfully. The current series has not only received a second season (currently airing and being fansubbed, thankfully), but back in Spring 2023 it was also the one that received the strongest "knee jerk reaction" of the three due in part to it's slow but steady pace but largely thanks to the male MC's personality, which at the beginning was frankly kinda cringey. However this is a story of the growth of both the main characters, and once the story shifted into gear a few eps later those viewers patient enough to wait were rewarded - from that point on the series has just continued giving and giving. (The manga is the exact same, of course - though for me it's even better.) Thankfully motbob picked up the slack with releasing his own BD release of season 1, which we have borrowed from to wrap up and complete Cyan's release - using as much of the work as we had completed before it got stalled from RL steamrolling the project to a halt. So many, many thanks to him for his efforts! And once again many, many thanks to the rest of the staff for seeing this release through to the end. --- Here is the staff list: Encode: Okay-Subs (BD), A Kind Anon (WEB) TL: Simulcast SongTL: Aria, Seigyoku Timer: Asakura (1-7), Okay-Subs (8-12) Editor: Flower (1-4), Animorphs (1-12), Okay-Subs (1-12) TS: ghosen KFX: Colgatto QC: Animorphs Distro: Zohead, Zumochi
