Romantic killer season 1 story so far

Romantic killer season 1

  • The story is deep-rooted around the situation of the low fertility rate Japan is currently facing and tries to convey a message to the young population of Japan to take an interest in the opposite sex instead of being bogged down by selfish desires and goals. It is a fantasy-based romantic-comedy anime that enshrines the life of Anzu Hoshino who is a high school girl and is very fond of three things from her life. The first one is about video games, the second is about chocolates and the third is about her beloved cat  Momohiki. 
  • One day she is busy playing a simulation video game named “Romantic Thriller” and all of a sudden “love cupid” from  Japanese folklore, named “Riri” appears. Riri’s ultimate motive is to indulge Anzu in a romantic relationship with some guy and in exchange “Riri’s” world will prosper. 
  • Anzu is shocked all of a sudden and tries to power down the game console but does not succeed. Then Riri withdraws three things from her life mentioned above that she is deeply fond of and can go to any extent in return. Then unwillingly she has to continue further in the game where she first meets her classmate named “Tsukasa Kazuki”. Tsukasa is a good-looking individual with all the qualities a girl can ask for. All her encounters with him in the anime are willfully staged by Riri so that they end up being together but this does happen.
  • Our second individual with whom Riri tried to pair Anzu is “Junta Hayami” a childhood friend. He was Anzu’s admirer since elementary school and had a history of being an overweight kid named “Tonta”. Junta discovered somehow that Anzu is more into athletic guys, he quickly transformed and shredded weight to play baseball. But all these were not enough and the two also do not end up being together. 
  • After Junta, a third character named Ryuya enters the game. Having qualities similar to Hoshino does not prove to be of great help here. Both are avid video game lovers but still do not end up being together.
  • The final guy here is Hijiri Koganei who is rich and good-looking. Anzu still is not convinced by any of the boys she has seen so far and decides not to date any one of them. 
  • Conventionally, we have seen the male and female protagonists end up being together but this anime is all about respecting the choices of other individuals and not rushing into things haphazardly. Sometimes you need to devote more time in finding a suitable match. This all is a big picture of season 1. There is a possibility if any further seasons are made, Anzu is able to find a perfect match and Riri’s task might be accomplished. Till then we can only speculate about forthcoming seasons or read into the lines of the manga series that have not been animated.
