MAL Summary: Ichikawa Kyoutarou may look like a shy and reserved middle school student, but deep within his heart is a bloodthirsty killer. His ultimate desire is to see his classmate Yamada Anna's beautiful face writhing in pain before he ends her life. But this fantasy may never come to fruition, as Ichikawa starts to see an entirely different side to Yamada. Often seeking refuge in the library, Ichikawa frequently runs into Yamada. It is during these encounters that Ichikawa realizes his model classmate is actually an airhead who can never read the room. As they spend more time together, the boy cannot help but feel not only a sense of endearment toward the very girl he wishes to murder but also a desire to protect her at all costs. Is it possible that this sudden change in Ichikawa's perspective could lead to something more? * * * * The Spring 2023 season has been a strong one for shoujo romance anime adaptations, and Skip to Loafer and Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia have both gotten some attention fansub wise. But Boku no Kokoro has not, and it's a pity, because it is every bit as excellent as the two aforementioned series. Part of this may just be due to newcomers to the series making a quick judgement on the male lead's "high cringe factor" in the first episode or two, and dropping the series. If so, partly understandable but definitely a pity, then all I can say is that many folks are missing out. The series is a definite slow burn, and only keeps getting better and better. Thanks to all who stepped up to help with this one - there is a decent amount of TS, and aside from the usual "de-simulcast'ing" the visual look of the dialogue, etc., the video sources for this one are ... not good. From the various encoders I have spoken too out there they even go so far as to say "unfortunate". We have done what we could on all fronts in that regard with the personnel we have available, and hopefully it will encourage folks who have dropped this series early on to pick it up again. This series is another slowsub, and I hesitated for a long time to decide whether or not to pick it up, but as the series got better and no one else was touching it ... well, you can see the result. Other series continue to slowly be worked on, including some batches ... there is a lot to do and fansubbers are a rare and previous commodity as always. Many thanks to everyone who was willing to work with us all on this one amidst their already heavy loads! * * * * Here is the staff list: Encode: A Kind Anon TL: Simulcast SongTL: Aria, Seigyoku Timer: Asakura Editor: Flower TS: ghosen KFX: Colgatto QC: Animorphs Distro: Zohead, Zumochi
