Premise

Kyotaro Ichikawa is a disgruntled loner student who fantasizes about murdering his popular classmates, often reading a murder encyclopedia and learning about human anatomy, with the beautiful class idol, Anna Yamada, being his prime target. However, when he observes that Anna is rather quirky in her own way, and when she becomes increasingly friendly towards Kyotaro, he gradually warms up to her and they start to become closer.

Voiced by: Shun Horie[2] (Japanese); Clint Bickham[3] (English)
A middle school boy who has chuunibyou tendencies. He loves spending time reading books in the library, where he and Anna first met. Initially, Kyotaro had delusions of killing Anna and making her corpse his alone, but they were replaced by romantic affection as he spends more time around her. He can be quite perceptive in social situations but often fails to pick up on other social problems due to his lack of communication skills and low self-esteem. Aside from his macabre interests, he's also a fan of manga and anime, as Baki, Beastars and Re:Zero, in the latter case he keeps the character Rem as the profile image for his Line account.

This consideration is tied to something of a guilt complex, which leads to bouts of anxiety where she feels she’s inconvenienced other people to the point of tears.

Kyotaro is a troubled student who fantasizes about murdering his classmates, in particular magazine model and classmate Anna, even carrying a box-cutter for that purpose. By chance he and Anna are alone in the library where he notices the odd behavior she exhibits, including humming like a monkey. Seeing she needs scissors for her schoolwork he impulsively lends her his box-cutter, leaving him without his weapon. He finds the box-cutter in his desk later, surprising him that she knew which desk was his. He begins to notice more odd behavior, which somehow tempts him to secretly offer help. They accidentally interrupt love confession between Hara and Kanzaki, and Kyotaro is forced by Anna to make cat noises to conceal their eavesdropping. Kyotaro is baffled by his continuing to help her. Later he spots Anna in a shop blatantly trying to get noticed as the model on the magazines, which makes him embarrassed on her behalf. On impulse he buys the magazine and it is implied he uses it to masturbate. The next day he spots a "senpai" named Haruya harassing Anna for her Line and impulsively speeds his bike into the river as a distraction. Anna correctly deduces he did it to help, and laughs when he sees he "hit the gas and not the brakes".

Anna unwittingly performs the trick on Kyotaro that suggests girl-on-top position, giving him another erection.

Transcription: "Bokura wa Hagureta" (Japanese: 僕らははぐれた)		Takuma SuzukiHitoyuki MatsuiApril 30, 2023 (2023-04-30)
The class gets to go on job experience. Kyotaro and the pervert-boys all want to be in Anna’s group. Kyotaro gets into Anna’s group by manipulating Kanzaki into Hara’s group, whom Kanzaki is dating. Anna notices and praises Kyotaro’s good deed. Anna and Hara discuss dating, revealing Anna has never dated. Hara is amused Anna spends so much time with Kyotaro. During the rain Anna has no umbrella so she borrows Kyotaro’s raincoat to go buy one. Kyotaro notices she forgot her purse and rushes it to her, becoming soaked, only to find she had an umbrella all along. Anna covers her mistake by claiming it is broken. Kyotaro realizes he is not mentally ill, he loves her. Anna, her friends, Kyotaro and pervert Adachi visit a manga publisher. Kyotaro tries not to show Anna his otaku side but she notices anyway and convinces him to enjoy himself. While in a cramped elevator, Anna and Kyotaro are pressed together by too many people. He struggles not to become aroused, then surprisingly notices Anna is as flustered as he is. Anna later tries to talk about manga and offers to loan him volumes of hers, but when Chii laughingly doubts any interest he has shoujo manga Kyotaro angrily convinces himself that they're mocking him. As Kyotaro goes to the bathroom, Anna waits for him. They suddenly realize everyone else is already on the train. They try to run for it, but end up missing the train, leaving Anna and Kyotaro at the station.
6"I Melted It"
Transcription: "Boku wa Tokashita" (Japanese: 僕は溶かした)		Akihito SudōAkihito SudōMay 7, 2023 (2023-05-07)
Anna blames herself for missing the train. Feeling guilty, Kyotaro buys her a drink and then takes the blame himself, making her smile. On the next train, Anna cryptically asks Kyotaro if two classmates dating would be better to announce it or keep it secret. Kana notices Kyotaro is actually enjoying school. Kyotaro is surprised when Anna waits outside school specifically to give him the manga series she had promised to lend him, though she seems flustered over it. Later, Anna insists he read the manga in the library but stumbles with her breasts in his face. Adachi notices Kyotaro talking with Anna and talks him about Anna’s love life, revealing he thinks he loves her because of how sexy she is. Kyotaro is more disgusted by Adachi than usual because there is more to liking Anna than for her looks. Realising this he once again wonders if he loves her himself. The no-eating rule is finally signposted in the library so Kyotaro worries Anna will stop visiting. Anna keeps snacking anyway but when a teacher almost catches her, Kyotaro grabs her hand to hide the evidence. Anna tells him to go away (to lick the melted chocolate in her hands) and he wonders if he has ruined everything by grabbing her, yet she still returns to the library the next day.
7"We Swapped Places"
Transcription: "Bokura wa Irekawatteru" (Japanese: 僕らは入れ替わってる)		Tarō KuboHiroaki YoshikawaMay 14, 2023 (2023-05-14)
Kyotaro learns Anna is on a weekly TV programme. During running class, Anna matches speeds with him to talk. She even asks for his help standing up, touching hands on purpose. Kyotaro and Anna accidentally switch jackets so they secretly trade back in the infirmary. Anna secretly smells his jacket before returning it. She abruptly suggests measuring their heights for fun, and she accidentally steps on a weight scale. Kyotaro simply cannot understand her behavior. News spreads that Anna will be in a movie. Class seating is rearranged and Anna is sat ahead of Kyotaro. Anna gets jealous about Kyotaro borrowing notes from Hara, not knowing he couldn't see the class board from behind Anna. Kyotaro tells her that she is the only one he sees, which Anna seriously misinterprets. Hara arranges to switch seats, putting Anna behind Kyotaro. In the library he asks about the movie and learns it is a smaller role than their classmates assumed. She asks to practice her one line with him, though as it involves calling him a creep, and they go into a cramped cupboard for privacy. Anna claims that the movie will premiere two years now, at which point they'll have graduated. He promises to watch the movie, so she leaves, unable to call him a creep anymore. Kyotaro watches her TV programme and again finds it is a much smaller role than he assumed. For some reason he is relieved she still has a long way to go before becoming a celebrity.

Anna starts getting even closer to him during library time. Anna is almost caught with sweets again, but when Kyotaro whispers a warning in her ear, she becomes so flustered she falls off her chair. After briefly meeting Anna in the rain Kyotaro bikes home, only to embarrassingly find Anna left a bag with tampons in his basket, so he races back to her, only to find they apparently were for Anna’s mother. After having a strange dream about Anna, Kyotaro finds the rain gave him a cold. Anna visits after school to bring him ice-cream, which leads to him impusively inviting her for tea. Embarrassed by Anna in his home, Kyotaro passes out while he's changing clothes in his room. Anna helps him but can’t resist hugging him in his delirium. Kyotaro wakes up in different clothes, later unsure whether he dreamt what happened until his sister gives him a get-better note left by Anna.

Two girls ask Anna about boyfriends, but when Anna firmly denies having one they realize she is saying it for Kyotaro’s benefit, and leave them alone. When Haruya arrives Anna fakes a kiss with Kyotaro, so he leaves and Moeko ends up telling Chii the truth about Haruya. Kyotaro angrily convinces himself Anna has been using him to deter Haruya since they met, so he ignores her for the next two days.

When he apologizes she impulsively hugs him, and this time he lets her. They end up talking their whole walk home and since it is winter break the next day Anna asks him to meet out of school, this time openly asking for his Line and they end up texting all night.

While clothes shopping Anna asks him to pick outfits for her, flustering him when he hears her undressing behind the curtain. Kana appears shopping and Anna, realising Kyotaro doesn’t want Kana to see them, pulls him into the changing room with her. Due to their proximity, Anna is able to make Kyotaro promise to introduce her to his sister soon. Kyotaro is shocked to see her bra under her unzipped dress, which she decides to buy. Kyotaro is able to tell her he is having fun, so she reveals a scarf she bought him. To not be separated on the busy train, Kyotaro grabs Anna's hand and they just keep holding hands for the entire journey plus their walk home, unsure of when to let go until then.

He is surprised when Kana doesn’t tease him, then more surprised when Anna calls back immediately just to say goodnight. Kana asks to meet Anna sometime. Kyotaro meets Anna walking her dog and considers giving her a souvenir dog keychain he bought for her but decides against it. While playing with her dog Anna holds his hand again. She confesses that she wanted to give him her muffler as a gift, so he gives her the keychain, surprising him at how happy she becomes. She arranges to see him during New Year shrine visits. Kyotaro randomly encounters several classmates on New Years night, including Anna’s friend Moeko, and Haruya who pressures Kyotaro for Anna’s Line. To protect Anna, Kyotaro refuses. Impressed, Moeko gets him to leave with her and teases Kyotaro into admitting he loves Anna, though she also points out it has been obvious for some time, embarrassing him.

Transcription: "Boku wa Boku o Shitte Hoshii" (Japanese: 僕は僕を知ってほしい)		Yasushi TomodaHiroaki YoshikawaJune 18, 2023 (2023-06-18)
Due to Anna arriving early, Kyotaro ends up meeting her at the shrine with Kana and his parents. As his arm is broken, Kyotaro cannot clap during prayers so Anna helps using her own hand, flustering him. Kana invites Anna to their house to see Kyotaro’s childhood photo’s and Anna notices he had two friends, though Kyotaro bitterly reveals they left to attend different private middle schools. Kana leaves them alone but thanks Anna for being Kyotaro’s friend. Anna insists on looking at more photos but he panics when she finds a magazine of her pictures and as he jumps to hide it ends up fully on top of her. They are both embarrassed, but Anna isn’t upset and instead takes copies of his photos, promising he can see her photos next time. Kyotaro is confused as it sounded like she wants him to visit her house. Flashbacks show Kyotaro lost his friends because his grades weren’t good enough to attend the same school. Seeing Anna at school the next day he is compelled to tell her she is why he could enjoy going to school again, so she hugs him and he hugs her back.
