In the first episode, you think you know what this is going to be and the personalities of the characters. As it goes, they become people you are super invested in. The series' description is a bit misleading and once you get to the 4th episode you start to get very passionate about the story.
It doesn't drag on too long and cause too much frustration, just enough to notice but then you get a payoff in many forms. The show's humor does mostly revolve around teenage situations that are actually realistic and not just obnoxious "shock" toilet-humor.
I started watching because I kept seeing it highly rated and wanted to see if it was niche or if it was for everyone. This is for everyone and its better than it has any right to be.
It actually builds the relationships in a believable way. The two main characters are multi-layered and not just one note. Every dimension to their personality has a slight variance and sometimes even contradiction, which adds to the believability and speaks to the incredible writing for the show.

Season 1 rating: 7/10
Season 2 rating: 9/10
Review for Season 2:
Wow.
This is a beautiful romance. I'm awestruck by how good this anime was, because for me, it's probably up there among the best romance anime ever.
What surprised me was how well written the romance was. Both these characters are beautifully written and grow at a great pace throughout the show. The fact that they're both inspired by each other, is exactly what makes this romance so brilliant and somewhat rare. There's also a beautiful scene where they both tell each other how they changed each other's lives and made them who they are today.
Ichikawa's character writing impressed me the most. Even in S1, his character development was the standout feature for me. In S2, it picks up right where it left off, and doesn't drop pace at all. When you look back at the start of the show, it's hard to believe that Ichikawa used to be the way he was. His character development is paced so perfectly. There's so much to admire about him - the way he thinks, the way he learns about himself, the way he always wants to be better than he is today and the way he genuinely loves Yamada.
Another great feature about this anime was its pacing for the romance. The romance moves along at a great pace, throughout the show. It doesn't slow down once. Which is again rare in romance anime.
The direction is phenomenal. With a show this well written, the direction, animation and the soundtrack should be able to match that. And it certainly did. The director also directed Teasing Master Takagi San. And I remember that even in S3, every single episode was close to a masterpiece. I'd say it's the same case with Dangers in My Heart S2. A lot of that is because of the direction. The soundtrack is brilliant too and it really stands out during the build-ups of heartfelt moments.
Although, I will say this, this anime is very dramatic with its sweet or romantic moments. So if you're not in a certain type of mood during the first watch, you could easily perceive it as over-the-top. But you might change your mind when you revisit it.
Overall though, I thought this was a phenomenal romance and it really took me by surprise.

Among the all romcom anime that I ever watched this one is the best and I am sure of it you won't regret after you watch this anime.
In my rom anime list this one is the top. They're little cringe and double minded jokes but also wholesome at the same time. There is the main lead kyoutarou ichikawa at first I thought he is a creep and also a introvert well he is a creep though. It felt uncomfortable but after some episodes I liked it in that way.
Yamada the female lead she does some funny things occasionally that made me laugh. When she show her cute side. She used the library as her secret eating place even though that was against the law. And also she is a model
the danger in my heart seems uncomfortable at first, then the series taken an unexpected turn. I am sure of it you will like it.

The dangers in my heart is one of the most realistic and grounded romance I've ever seen, it's represents the life of middle schoolers perfectly, they're a little cringe a bit horny but also wholesome at the same time. And what makes this show so good is because the development of the mc and there's an actual progress in their relationship also their interactions didn't forced and feel realistic and natural, they also don't use any generic trope like other romance anime and there's so many little details in this anime which makes the story more interesting and makes you appreciate this anime even more. This anime also has good direction, great ost and the animation is on point. One word for this anime" FANTASTIC", definitely one of the best romance anime ever.

Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
I have seen many animes in my lifetime but never felt emotionally connected with any but it all changed when I first saw Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu.
But first, to let you know I am not interested in romance-type stories I prefer animes like Monster, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Death note, etc
I just started watching this Boku no Kokoro no yabai yatsu just because I did not have any interesting anime to watch and I was bored. But when I saw it I felt nostalgia, and then felt the joy and pain all at the same time as it made me think about my feelings when I was in school and college. I believe everyone has gone through an infatuation or love stage in their life and this anime tries to make you recall that stage trust me it gives you a whole different experience which I believe will leave a soft-hearted person with tears of both joy and regret.
This anime is so wonderful, the storyline is so grounded.
I started watching this anime maybe at 12am midnight and I finished the whole season on the go, it literally took my sleep away and I could not sleep at all after watching it.
Eventually, I ended up watching from the beginning once again on the next day to understand each detail.
And the second season is also so amazing and can't wait to see more new episodes.
I thank the writer Norio Sakurai who wrote such a beautiful anime. I admire her work from the heart.
And after watching the anime I for the first time in my life started reading the manga and its the Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu manga.

The Dangers in My Heart: A Hilarious Descent into Unexpected Romance
"The Dangers in My Heart" isn't your average rom-com. It takes a hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming detour, defying expectations at every turn.
The story centers around Kyotaro Ichikawa, a reclusive teenager with a dark secret: he fantasizes about murdering the most popular girl in class, Anna Yamada. However, beneath this edgy exterior lies a nervous boy with a massive crush. What truly shines is the subversion of this initial premise. Kyotaro's dark thoughts become a comedic goldmine, a constant internal monologue that fuels the show's humor.
As the series progresses, a delightful twist emerges. Circumstances force Kyotaro and Anna to interact, chipping away at their facades. The fear of rejection and the awkwardness of budding feelings are portrayed with brilliant comedic timing. The supporting cast adds another layer of charm, with their own quirky personalities and surprising depth.
"The Dangers in My Heart" isn't afraid to tackle serious themes like social anxiety and the pressure to conform. But it does so with a light touch, weaving humor and genuine emotional moments seamlessly. The animation is clean and expressive, perfectly capturing the characters' over-the-top reactions and their subtler emotional shifts.
Here's what truly elevates the show:
Unique Premise: The dark humor surrounding Kyotaro's fantasies is a hilarious twist on the typical rom-com tropes.
Character Development: Both Kyotaro and Anna shed their initial appearances, revealing surprising vulnerabilities and hidden strengths.
Shifting Dynamics: The show masterfully transitions from antagonistic humor to genuine emotional connection.

This anime is teaches you how to love yourself and how a relationship should be actually like mutual understanding of each other feelings, emotions and taking care of each other etc. In starting it looks like an common romance type anime but soon as it goes will give so many surprises.
This anime is wholesome emotions, I just watched for timepass but become my one of my most fav anime. I already watched most of the episodes of season 2 multiple times and I am very excited for season 3 and others seasons. Really can't wait for season 3 to come.... Thank you for creating such a wonderful anime.

Author! Great! Anyone who knows this author will know this. If you know about the work "Mitsudoboe". It takes a lot of effort for an author of sexy comedies to draw romantic comedies. It is really difficult for an author to try a new genre and make it fun.
Now, let's find out what's fun about this work. First of all, it is a romantic comedy between men and women, with the protagonist having no friends and the heroine being popular. Since it is not a love battle where another man or woman comes in, the main love story is about two people, but there are many surrounding characters. Like the work "Love Com", there is a large height difference between men and women. However, there is a big difference in height in this work as well, but the starting point is different. It's not a classic story where there's someone you like from the beginning, but then you like the main character later, and there's no ideal type from the beginning. After that, it develops into liking the other person, but the impact is small. But maintaining that pace means there is no change. But it's fun... Usually, if you want a new development, a new character has to appear. However, this work creates a lot of sub characters from the beginning and shows episodes of the sub characters and the main protagonist. Still, it's fun... If you think about it, there are very few works like this. Because it is not a classic work, its freshness will stimulate you and make it fun to watch.

Where do i even start?
This is unlike anything i have watched, when you think you have it all figured out it just hits you with a curve which does not feel like its dragging the pace along, it feels ever so perfectly placed.
This is also the only romance anime where i just cannot put myself in the character shoes, i simply just want these 2 to work and these 2 only. The story is so youthful and pure, it can really strike the feels and make you think about your own high school years and how much fun that was.
Every week it makes you curse when you finish the episode and the other one is not out yet!!!
Also the character development even for the side characters is really there, and not done in a straight to your face fashion., just love its pace and how things are developing.
Hopefully we can get a S3 or a sequel in the future cause this is too good to end in 6 episodes! *currently writing this as of S2 episode 6*

I never before watched anime shows or romantic stuff either but this one was different!!!
The characters' style, the script, the flirting scenes.. everything were much better than expected and I really want a season 3!!!
Btw, I think it's cute how Yamada is the taller one.
Despite that Ichi refused to believe Yamada liked him even tho how many signs she was giving to him the whole time over and over again I think it was funny how he figured out he was wrong.
His sister was quite funny, she looks like him in appearance!!
Yamada's dad also seems cool for wanting Ichi to be his gaming buddy!

The Dangers in My Heart is... uncomfortable, not due to its subject matter, but because of its effective satirization of the inherent creepiness often found in male-led romance anime. It cleverly critiques the recent wave of school rom-coms featuring generic boys who mystically attract conventionally attractive girls through exaggerated narratives and voyeuristic direction. Kyoutarou Ichikawa, the average male protagonist, embodies the creepiness to the extreme with his lurking, antisocial behavior, and disturbing thoughts. However, the series takes an unexpected turn by juxtaposing his unsettling tendencies with moments of genuine kindness.
These anime tend to follow men who narrate about their love interests while staring at them longingly, usually as the anime's director ogles her leeringly. Is Kazuya a creep for staring at Chizuru and thinking about her? Yes, obviously. Kyoutarou Ichikawa the average male-led rom-com protagonist, with the creepiness cranked to eleven. He lurks in the dark library, avoids socializing, carries a box cutter at all times, and loves to ponder murdering his classmates. Oh yeah, he's also five-foot-nothing and shatters at the slightest confrontation. Initially, I had assumed this would be your average "loner guy gets hot girlfriend because she sees he has a beautiful heart." And it seemed that way, at first. Ichikawa's private sanctum, the library, is threatened when his model classmate, Anna Yamada, comes to secretly snack in private. Rather than announcing himself, he hides a foot away from her behind a bookshelf, and narrates his frustration and murderous desire to the viewers. But seemingly, Ichikawa can't help himself when she's in need. Like when she's crying, he kindly leaves her tissues, or readily defends her when she's in trouble with teachers. It's almost like the anime is attempting to make us overlook his stalker tendencies because he's a nice guy™... except, she doesn't actually need him. Everytime he attempts to help, it's clear she'd be fine on her own, or has already solved the problem herself. What keeps this formula refreshing is how Ichikawa's plans tend to fail in unpredictable ways.
Early on, Ichikawa witnesses a boy harassing Anna, as he is stalking her of course-but rather than step in to help, he throws his bike down a hill, landing it in a river, but effectively getting the attention of other students to draw away the harasser. Despite epicly failing to be suave, he helped Anna-at a major expense to himself. He's not smooth in any way, but his sincerity is earnest. Watching the series blindly, I worried Ichikawa would successfully rescue Anna at every turn, and make her fall in love with him. A cliche, tried and true romance trope.
In fact, it's the opposite. Ichikawa's well-meaning failures and adorable awkwardness are what endear Anna to him. Their relationship slowly develops into friendship, hinting at something more, and the ball is always in Anna's field. She has more power in their relationship, but not in an manipulative, abusive, Nagatoro-san kind of way. Considering she's an athlete and like a foot taller than him, capable on her own. Other anime about generic cringe-worthy teenage boys who somehow attract the hottest girl in their life usually treat their heroines like objects of desire. They're to be looked at, but entirely devoid of personality, conflict, and depth, Anna is the antithesis of them. The recent trend of male-led rom-com heroines may have flaws that make them 'not like other girls', such as sadism, inability to speak, teasing, but these supposed flaws fulfill a desire for some viewers. Anna is just a person-her idiosyncrasies aren't attractive qualities, they simply make her unique.
Yamada does some funny things occasionally that made me laugh out loud. Such as pulling a pound of candy out of her pocket randomly and covering other magazines with her own at the store. Sometimes she's a little ridiculously stupid. How don't you question why a random dude is always hiding in the library behind you, or wonder why he just has a box cutter on him? However, her foolishness never exists to make Ichikawa appear smarter. They're both dunces in their own ways. The perfect example of this is in a later episode when the two catch colds trying to care for one another; Ichikawa chases after Anna in the rain to return her forgotten belongings, then Anna visits his home after school, bringing him ice cream and showing her concern for his well-being. When Ichikawa passes out from a fever, Anna helps him and, in her genuine worry, cannot resist hugging him during his delirium. Unbeknownst to Ichikawa, Anna caught a cold from their heartfelt hug, highlighting her selfless and caring nature. Although I found it cute and accurate to his personality, his obliviousness to her affection may come off as frustrating for some viewers.
Ichikawa's insecurities and fear of rejection are vividly depicted, leading to his edgy behavior and rejection of Yamada's sincere care. In episode nine, Yamada's efforts to obtain Ichikawa's number go unnoticed until he realizes her intentions, but a series of misunderstandings further strains their relationship. Ichikawa's distorted belief that Yamada has been using him causes him to ignore her, until a heartfelt confrontation reveals Yamada's vulnerability and genuine affection. Their emotional connection deepens, as they begin to bridge the gap between Ichikawa's fears and Yamada's unwavering support, setting the stage for a potentially transformative chapter in their relationship. Notably, he sees Anna as above himself, however, it causes him insecurities rather than as a means to make her an ethereal, otherworldly being. The viewers see both of them as equals, mostly due to Anna's abundant screen time in the latter half and hearing her inner monologue. Also there's virtually no fan service. Even though Ichikawa is a normal, hormonal, teenage boy, the animators never sexualize Anna-and it PAINS ME to say this is refreshing.
The Dangers in My Heart anime seems uncomfortable at first, then the series takes an unexpected turn by juxtaposing Ichikawa's unsettling tendencies with moments of genuine kindness. Anna Yamada, the center of his infatuation, proves to be a well-developed character with agency and depth, contrasting with the typical one-dimensional heroines in similar anime. Yamada's flaws make her unique, while her caring and selfless nature shine through, even as Ichikawa remains oblivious to her affection. Their relationship evolves into a friendship where Yamada holds the power, challenging the usual power dynamics seen in male-led rom-coms. The absence of objectification and fanservice in the anime is refreshing, emphasizing their equal footing and focusing on their personal growth. Despite its discomforting premise, The Dangers in My Heart subverts expectations and delivers a refreshing take on recent romance anime, highlighting the importance of genuine connection and mutual respect between characters.

The Dangers in My Heart anime seems uncomfortable at first, then the series takes an unexpected turn by juxtaposing Ichikawa's unsettling tendencies with moments of genuine kindness. Anna Yamada, the center of his infatuation, proves to be a well-developed character with agency and depth, contrasting with the typical one-dimensional heroines in similar anime. Yamada's flaws make her unique, while her caring and selfless nature shine through, even as Ichikawa remains oblivious to her affection. Their relationship evolves into a friendship where Yamada holds the power, challenging the usual power dynamics seen in male-led rom-coms. The absence of objectification and fanservice in the anime is refreshing, emphasizing their equal footing and focusing on their personal growth. Despite its discomforting premise, The Dangers in My Heart subverts expectations and delivers a refreshing take on recent romance anime, highlighting the importance of genuine connection and mutual respect between characters.

Very fantastic drama. Anime succeeded in imitating feelings /emotions of childhood boy having crush or in love with girl. All episodes are very good. Nice Romance, Story, Characters.
Personally I like it very much. It feels easy to bond with the characters. Also you get connected to the feelings and unintentionally expressing emotion about each other in romantic relationship.
The Dangers In My Heart Season 2 explores the evolving connection between Yamada and Kyotaro. This season delves into their interactions, introducing new characters that play a role in expanding their relationship. It's a journey filled with laughter, warmth, and occasional awkward moments.

The characters development was good and the romantic scene was great. The series strikes a balance between dark humor and heartwarming moments. Ichikawa's macabre fantasies are often presented in a comedic light, contrasting with the more tender and genuine interactions between the characters. Overall, "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu" is a compelling anime that offers a fresh take on the romantic comedy genre. Its mix of dark humor, heartfelt moments, and relatable character development make it a standout series worth watching.
In the end I would recommend it to everyone thats want an romance anime.

He Dangers in My Heart is my latest anime obsession! Ichikawa's inner monologue is like reading my own teenage journal - awkward, honest, and hilarious. And then there's Yamada... _swoon_ his deadpan reactions and soft spot for Ichikawa have me hooked! The characters are perfectly imperfect, the romance is sweet, and the humor is spot on. I love how the show tackles tough topics like bullying and anxiety with heart and sensitivity. The animation is stunning, too! I devoured the whole series in one weekend (no regrets). If you're looking for a relatable, feel-good anime that'll make you laugh, cry, and nod along... this is it. Yamada forever!
Well watching the visuals and our boy it do seem that a nerd of a boy had a crush on a beautifull girl and then the vanilla story will be upon us, but watching it doesn't made me question my adulthood it really do align with the reality especially the rejection of a boy a cannot help but compare it to reality and I found that it really hit hard.
When you have someone in your heart it doesn't matter how cool or beautiful the other person is you just can't see them with the eye normal person would see so the writer really nailed the human emotion in that scene so overall my first thought about the series proved wrong.
It really is one of the amazing Rom-com, slice of life out there!!

I agree that description of the show is kind of misleading, but trust me you will not regret watching this. This show has some really cute couple moments. You know I am not a big fan of romantic shows, but this is something really different out of the other shows.
First thing is that if you are an introvert plus if you are a boy, this anime has scenes those will surely be heartwarming.
The show has really focused on character and their relationship development.
This is a short anime but I really believe that this story could be continued.
Go ahead and watch this u wont regret, I promise :)

For more than 40 years, anime has been a popular genre of romantic comedies; in the 2000s, the genre reached a critical mass. There are currently no Harem manga adaptations, Isekai light novel power fantasy adaptations, or standard Shoujo manga adaptations. While Isekai light novel adaptations mostly take place in dating simulations, traditional Shoujo manga adaptations have evolved into web manga adaptations targeted towards female audiences. Over time, the popularity of this genre has increased.
A new genre of romantic comedy targeted at adult men, The Reiwa Era Comedy primarily stars teenagers. These stories try to retool their genre formula and keep the gravy train going, as Japanese people are too tired and fed up with their gender roles to manifest satisfying relationships in real life. Clever and adaptable, the titles cover a wide range of relationship kinds, including straight-up dating, dating in all but name, and romantic partners with a single objective.
The Dangers in My Heart is an example of this kind of romantic novel, and it takes two pages to get to the point. This week, the scenario is: what if you were a socially awkward chuuni who also just so happens to have gotten into a relationship with the class's hottest girl-who happens to be autistic! All kidding aside, the series' neurotic approach to both male and female characters is what drew me in to Bokuyaba from the beginning. The characters' neuroticism and neurodiversity are the only things that make the scenario plausible.
Bokuyaba wants to appeal to men by removing fetishes and bringing Shoujo manga back to its former glory. Though fetishistic, the manga is less concerned with scenario writing and more with design sensibility. The narrative does not justify middle school students beating their cousins or teachers who are 25 years old. Bokuyaba's romanticism and recognition of the sexualities of the characters give the story a more "real" and mature sense. Though the program may not include subtle siscon aspects, the author's younger sibling may have told her a similar amusing story.
