    This is the average anime

    The main motive is never succeed and this story is not complete. So, feel the anime is incomplete.

    But....I liked it

    Masamune a high school student swore to get his revenge on Aki Argaki after she rejected him. By doing so he loses a lot of weight and he becomes more thin and muscular he plans to make her fall in love only for him to dumb her.

    I'll admit I do think there could be a lot more added to this anime like another season or sequel but I did enjoy it overall.

    I thought the character designs and the art style really did a good job pulling me in. Even though I only watched it for Aki's body.

    I also love the sound ttrack to this.

    From my side it's a 9/10.

    A Charming Romance

    Masamune-kun's Revenge is a delightful rom-com that will capture your heart! Masamune's relatable determination to win Aki's heart is admirable, despite being a bit misguided. Aki's icy exterior and sweet interior make her a fascinating character. Supporting cast is lovable, especially Yoshino and Neko. Pacing can be rushed, but the humor and heart make up for it. Aki's backstory is a tearjerker! I loved how the series explored themes of unrequited love, self-improvement, and friendship. The animation is vibrant and cute. 8/10, must-watch for rom-com fans. That ending though... need more Masamune and Aki moments! Wish there was a season 3.

    Wonderful

    I'm telling ya my experience watching this anime was truly amazing, I don't know what's about this anime but i just couldn't resist watching episodes next to next even manga. I am really delighted by this anime.

    Completed with season 2

    UPDATE: The story is finally covered till the end with season 2. My original toughts about it do not change: Very nice.

    I think this is a very well executed rom com, the way how the characters interact is not trivial and when you start watching you can not really stop.

    The characters are in average not very clever yes, but keep in mind this is a rom-com not a drama or an opera, surely you will find Yoshino the most attractive as always one step above others.

    There is only one thing which left me odd: sometimes Masamune ends up using special made-up sentences with girls and it's not clear to me the author point of view, if they are considered "good" or "bad", because sometimes they are not really good sentences and I have the feeling maybe the author think they are. I am neither Japanese nor American but I have been in UK/US and I don't think a girl would appreciate all of them.
