The Plot of the Anime
Once a target of relentless teasing and bullying by the infamous Adagaki Aki, Makabe has undergone a remarkable transformation. Shedding his former self, he emerges as a handsome, popular, and accomplished individual with an iron will for revenge.
With his newfound charisma, Makabe enrolls in Aki’s school, ready to confront his childhood bully and finally give her a taste of her own medicine. But as the stage is set for a juicy confrontation, will revenge turn out to be the shiny victory he envisioned, or will the sweet taste of retribution leave a bitter aftertaste?
This anime throws logic out of the window, but that’s what makes it so incredibly entertaining. Watching Masamune and Aki navigate a tangled web of fake love while simultaneously hiding their genuine affection for each other is a hilarious scene.
The new season unapologetically embraces absurdity. Each twist and turn is a surprise, making it impossible to look away. As the layers of lies and deception pile up, the story reaches new heights of enjoyment, keeping us hooked and invested in the characters’ ever-ending escapades.
