About
the work
The story
follows Kyotaro Ichikawa, an introverted high school student who
spends his days fantasizing about murdering his popular classmate, Anna
Yamada. However, after repeatedly meeting her in the school library,
Kyotaro discovers the absent-minded and vulnerable side of the young woman.
This discovery transforms his dark impulses into a genuine desire to protect
her, starting an unusual teen romantic comedy.
The
original work, written and illustrated by mangaka Norio Sakurai,
ended its serialization with a total of fourteen compilation volumes after
being published on various platforms of the Akita Shoten publishing
house, including the Weekly Shonen Champion magazine. The
literary universe of the franchise is kept active thanks to the publication of
a spin-off manga titled Love Comedy ga Hajimaranai,
written and illustrated by Haika Nanasaka, which distributed its
first volume earlier this year.
