This is a 7/10 for me. I really enjoyed Romantic Killer—watched it in my native language, because it's hilarious af, and the comedy just hits different that way. Lines land funnier and my native proverbs just hit different
Anzu is legit me fr, even though I secretly love romance and building my harem vibes. She's glued to gaming, despises the whole dating scene, dodges every "perfect guy" Riri throws at her like it's a chore. Her blunt "nope" energy to all the forced crushes? Relatable.. Those over-the-top reactions, eye-rolls, and "are you serious?" stares had me pausing to laugh every episode. Riri as the little mascot wizard is gold too;fluffy troublemaker with goofy faces, scheming disasters for "romance points" like trapping them in fake accidents. The silliness ramps up perfectly: chocolate shortages, rival wizards, absurd romcom tropes flipped on their head. Bro, it got so ridiculous I was grinning ear to ear.

But then Tsukasa's stalker reveal dropped like "huh?"—suddenly the fun and sillyness turns dead serious. That whole arc showed how even guys get sexualized and reduced to their looks, treated like objects while dealing with real creeps following them, invading privacy, making them uncomfortable. It's not funny anymore; it's heavy. Men face that too. Hot face means everyone assumes you're fine with harassment, ignores the trauma behind the "perfect" exterior. Handled it well imo, no preachiness, just raw reality mixed into the comedy. Made me think.

Junta Hayami threw me off though. Supposedly her childhood friend, but Anzu has zero memories of him? I can't quite remember the full explanation. Was it Riri brainwashing or just her forgetting because gaming brain? Felt underexplained, like a loose thread dangling. No real closure there.

No major criticisms, it's solid fun overall. But something feels missing; like deeper payoff on the wizard rules, more Anzu growth beyond "romance sucks but maybe not," or why Riri's so obsessed with forcing love. Pacing dips in the middle with repeated schemes, could've used tighter twists. Still, way more charm than flaws;hilarious when it wants to be, thoughtful when it counts.

Even with those little things though, the show kept me entertained the whole time. The balance between chaos comedy and random moments of emotional seriousness is weird but somehow works. It never fully forgets it's supposed to be ridiculous, but it still slips in a few moments that make you stop and think about the characters a bit more.

Jirai curator claims: For my own little harem, I would choose Tsukasa (silent type but so sweet underneath—those hurt eyes had me wanting to hug him tight, tell him everything's gonna be ok, help him heal from the stalker mess). He reminded me of myself lowkey Solo pick for this one.
