LatestTrue love.
Takeo Goda is a giant guy with a giant heart. Too bad the girls don't want him! (They always go for his good-looking best friend, Makoto Sunakawa.) Used to being on the sidelines, Takeo simply stands tall and accepts his fate. But one day when he saves a girl named Rinko Yamato from a harasser on the train, his (love!) life suddenly takes an incredible turn! Takeo can hardly believe it when he crosses paths with Rinko again, and he finds himself falling in love with her... But with handsome Suna around, does Takeo even stand a chance?
Acting
Eguchi's gruff-voiced Takeo is pure chaotic gold
Direction
Bold visual comedy that breaks anime conventions
Writing
Zero misunderstandings trope—actual healthy communication
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga deliberately inverted shoujo tropes by making the 'prince' the wingman and the 'ogre' the protagonist—author Kazune Kawahara was tired of pretty boys.
Takeo's voice actor Eguchi is conventionally handsome IRL, making his casting as the 'unattractive' lead an intentional meta-joke.
