    My opinion

    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.

    Must Watch Anime!!

    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.

    Beautiful character and romance development

    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.

    Genuinely one of the best romance anime of all time

    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*

    The Show's Description doesn't do it justice

    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.
