Satou is a refreshing Yandere and also a well written character. That aside, I believe the character writing really shines on the main character Satou with special mention to the side character Shoko. Furthermore, aside from Shoko and Asahi, the side characters lack proper development.ĭude you just said you were gonna live a normal life. A good example is quite literally any scene with Mitsuboshi-kun in it, such as when he gives into Shio's sock. It definitely doesn't feel real, and causes some scenes to lose any sense of seriousness. Some side characters, such as Kitaumekawa the teacher and Mitsuboshi the blonde coworker, are so exaggerated in how insane they are it becomes more comical than disturbing. To get the bad out of the way, I'll talk about the side characters. To a less extreme degree, Shoko wants to help Satou, but pays the ultimate price for it. Taiyo wants Shio to purify him, but ends up coming off as a pedophile. Asahi wants to be reunited with Shio but doesn't take into account Shio's happiness with Satou. Satou wants to be with Shio at the cost of killing other people. Nearly all the characters, with the exception of Shio, have obsessions that lead to harming others or themselves. And I think it delivers that well thematically. *To be fair, this is explained in the manga as she asked the aunt.Īs described in the introduction, this is an anime about obsession. For example, Satou's downfall was leaving her ring behind- but why did she take off the ring in the first place? Why the hell did Mitsuboshi-kun give into Shio's sock right after he went on about wanting to live a normal life? Or how did Shoko find Satou's apartment?* I only really got excited for the story once Episode 9 hit, where Shoko's death providing Asahi key information was the beginning of the endgame.Īside from slow pacing, there are some contrivances in the plot that if you think too much about, don't end up making much sense. Some episodes are just Satou dealing with a new crazy character's shenanigans, such as episode 1 (the Manager), 2 (the Teacher), and 5 (the lesbian Coworker). The first half, while it is used to develop the characters, offers nearly nothing to the overarching plot of Asahi tracking down Shio. The story is probably the weakest part of the show.
