Are you tired of typical anime setups where the main character is always a guy? Well, get ready to be pleasantly surprised by “Romantic Killer Cat”. In this manga, the protagonist is a female high schooler named Anzu Hoshino, who is obsessed with video games and her adorable cat.

Anzu’s life takes an unexpected turn when a magical fairy, concerned about Japan’s declining birthrate, decides to intervene and force romantically disinclined individuals into crazy situations. Their ultimate goal? To create the ideal shojo manga scenario where love blossoms.

However, Anzu is not willing to play along. With her beloved cat and games taken away from her, she is determined to fight back against the fairies’ meddling. Even her parents being shipped off to America adds to the tired romance trope that sets the stage for private trysts and heart-fluttering antics.

“Romantic Killer Cat” is a refreshing take on the usual formula. It offers a mix of cute laughs, comfy vibes, and a dash of teenage romance. Teenage girls will especially enjoy the numerous references to video games and other manga that older readers will also appreciate. Anzu, the lead character, is fun, cute, and highly relatable. However, her love interest falls a bit flat, lacking depth and personality beyond being the typical “hot guy.”

Let’s talk about the art. While the character designs and backgrounds may seem a bit bland at first, the manga compensates with its use of full-color pages, which is a rarity in the genre. This vibrant splash of color makes the art pop and adds a unique touch to the overall presentation.

The first volume of “Romantic Killer Cat” introduces another potential love interest for Anzu, creating the classic love triangle scenario. While it may seem unnecessary, it promises more familiar antics that fans of romantic comedies will enjoy.

With four volumes in total, “Romantic Killer Cat” is destined to become a favorite among fans of the genre. Even if you’re not the target demographic, you’ll still find yourself engaged and entertained by this manga. And if that’s not enough, an anime adaptation is set to release at the end of October on Netflix, giving fans a chance to dive into the source material.

Don’t miss out on this delightful twist on a classic trope. Mark your calendars for the release of “Romantic Killer Cat” on October 4th!
