In fact, when he insults her to her face by calling her a former fatty, she runs away crying вЂ“ not because of the insult, but because of poor, dead Shion. He also looks just like KaeвЂ™s favorite character, Shion. Nanashima is a rude brute who spends all of his screentime throwing tantrums. But thatвЂ™s in the manga, not in episode 1.)ДЄs for the boys themselves, their hotness is debatable and their personalities are nothing to write home. (In the manga, she flip-flops back and forth between chubby and slender, and the boys learn to like her for what she is rather than the weight sheвЂ™s at, apparently. When she emerges from the oily, dank chrysalis of her grief, she emerges only to find that sheвЂ™s dropped half her body weight and now has boobs, loads of thick long hair, and an all-new non-fat voice. Kae is such an otaku that when her favorite character Shion dies in her favorite anime Mirage Saga, she holes herself up in her room for a week and doesnвЂ™t eat. We get it, Kae loves anime and gets hot off homoerotic affection, so sheвЂ™s a real loser, which is of course why sheвЂ™s both fat and wears glasses, classic marks of a loser.

However, I donвЂ™t love the voice actress вЂ“ Kae literally has a вЂњfat voice,вЂќ a wheezy, old-ladyish voice that makes her sound like sheвЂ™s gargling mothballs in between jacking it to Free!. She even has a cute, slender best friend, A-chan, whoвЂ™s also an otaku and who colludes with her in giggle fests whenever the boys do anything vaguely friendly with each other. When one of them accidentally collides with her at volleyball, his friend apologizes to her and her sempai asks after her, indicating that for all her freakishness, sheвЂ™s not universally despised. Even though sheвЂ™s a fat and unkempt otaku whose favorite activity is hovering like a freak and mouth-breathing near any Homosexual Activityв„ў, the hot boys of the school appear to have some kind of connection to her. KaeвЂ™s passion for the homoerotic crosses over into real life, as she is quite happy to pair up her classmates in her head. Kae is what you call a fujoshi - a girl whoвЂ™s very into gay male relationships in her media.

Kiss Him Not Me is based on a manga, so anyone whoвЂ™s worried about what comes next can just read it, but those who donвЂ™t want to do homework along with the fall anime season premieres may find themselves leaving this title off their watch list. Episode 1 of Kiss Him Not Me does not exactly assuage that fear, for all that our main character, Serinuma Kae, has a relatable, devouring nerdiness that any self-described otaku, male or female, could recognize. My strongest fear with fall anime 2016вЂ™s Kiss Him Not Me is it would feel mean-spirited.
