Overview:
Masamune was chubby as a kid and got rejected by Adagaki. Now he’s lost weight and is determined to make her fall in love with him so that he can reject her.
Review:
What is it with these shows about people losing weight and somehow that making them super popular? Having endured Kiss Him, Not Me last season I really don’t know that I can go for a second anime in a row where a character loses weight and somehow that transforms how people see them. Not to mention, the basic set-up where he just wants to toy with a girl before dumping her is kind of repugnant regardless of how heart broken he may have been as a child.
If I ignore the premise, this first episode is still pretty underwhelming. I’m not sure what tone they were going for but what I got was pretty much nothing. We followed Masamune around at school, saw him get excited that he ran into Adagaki fairly quickly and then watched him stalk her before orchestrating a rescue. I’ll give this one more episode but odds are this one is going to hit the drop list.
Masamune-Kun’s Revenge is available on Crunchyroll.
