| When season 1 came out with this first episode, I assumed this had to be another trashy waifu bait romcom with the self-insert MC where it only relies on the waifu as marketing to make the show popular but I was wrong. Now, I am on my way to start watching this show. Like My Dress-Up up darling, Komi-san, and [Unpopular guy x Popular girl] romance, they generally rely on the waifu's attractiveness to get a massive audience and MC will always get the most generic designs possible. These shows have been plaguing heterosexual romances for a long time. Does this show avoid these typical issues of heterosexual romances that come out of the shonen demographic? |

| The male MC does have some generic traits, but he's different enough to take a liking to him, especially at the beginning. Personality-wise I find him more interesting than the girl, which is a rare thing to happen in Shounen romance. |
| It's the same as My dress up darling, if you hate that then I doubt you'll like this. This is probably worse though because My dress up at least have the cosplay aspest. |
| This show wouldn't be any different than MDUD if we're going by your shallow interpretation of "waifubait" ... but otherwise no. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Yes, this is the glorious successor of MDUD, as a superficial romance. However, the male lead is less NPC-like and has more character in him. |

Why do you feel the need to specify heterosexual?

No it isn't, wtf are you watching. Dress up darling is really a waifu bait show as he said, little to no character development and tons of fan service to grab the audience.
While in the case of "Dangers in my heart" it's really a progressing story with well written characters, that's why people like it even though it has no cheap unnecessary fanservice scenes.
| @Reckless_weeb "wtf are you watching", the fanservice in MDUD at least has a narrative purpose, while in here it's literally unnecessary. |

@EdgyLord666 lmao don't comparr that shit dres up darling to this peak romance, the character is 10 times better with better progress and development.
| @Johntyson31 they have the same shallow romance, but I enjoy the fun cosplay concept in MDUD. |

There's little to no fanservice in DIMH bruh you sure you're not watching something else?
| @Reckless_weeb little or no sir? Make up your mind. |
| This show's got a lot of focus on character development so I think this is a lot better. Ichikawa has come a long ass way from where he was in the first couple episodes to where he is at now, while not just having him transform automatically to perfect in everything like what Jinwoo sung is experiencing in solo leveling for his 'development'. Even seeing their initial interactions be Ichikawa hiding on the sidelines as Yamada goofs around with food instead of having a 'perfect image' is night and day compared to how everything is now. Didn't personally feel My dress up darling had much substance at all when it came to the characters and their developments in the 12 episodes I got of it so far. Plus despite Yamada's perfections on the surface at times, she is shown to have a lot of flaws too, with Ichikawa being a good catalyst to help be supportful to her as well so even if the situation isnt the most realistic of them all, the characters do feel like they improve each other and have good chemistry together in funny moments, normal moments, and emotional/sad ones too. |
| it does tropes true, but the way it executes it is what makes it such a standout from other romance shows |
 |
| Most anime nowadays is waifu bait. |

Compared to MDUD it's nothing
| @Reckless_weeb well yes, no one argue about MDUD having more fanservices than this. |
| How many "typical" romcom FMCs do you know that are a full head taller than the MMC, eat like a horse, and act awkward as fuck π€£ This one's characters are pretty weird as far as romance goes, and it makes it loveable and entertaining |
