In the last few days, I’ve been working my way through the second season of Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (The Dangers in My Heart), and honestly, it’s been an absolute delight and one of the best anime series I've ever watched.

Every single episode manages to melt my heart to the point where I have to pause just to recover from how sweet it all is. It’s one of those rare shows that perfectly captures the innocence and awkwardness of young love, and it never fails to make me smile.

As you probably know, the story follows two middle schoolers, Anna Yamada and Kyotaro Ichikawa, as their relationship gradually develops throughout their school life. What starts off as a simple friendship slowly evolves into something deeper, and watching them navigate their feelings is both heartwarming and painfully relatable. Each episode feels like a small step forward in their growth, not just as a pair, but as individuals learning about life.

Anna is tall, cheerful, and full of energy, an incredibly kind girl who stands out in every room she’s in. Kyotaro, on the other hand, is small, shy, and deeply insecure, constantly comparing himself to others and feeling like he doesn’t deserve her attention.

This contrast between them creates so many touching and sometimes frustrating moments that make you root for them even harder. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve muttered, “Just go out already!” while watching, but that slow build-up is part of what makes the series so special.

The supporting cast adds even more warmth to the show. Their friends are genuinely good people who encourage and tease them in equal measure, giving the story that pure, nostalgic feeling of youth—an innocence that can only really exist in middle school.

I really like the interactions between Kyotaro and her sister, somehow they feel more real than what we usually get to see between siblings in anime series.

Now I’m down to the last two episodes, and I can’t help but wonder how it’ll all wrap up. Will we get a proper conclusion to Anna and Kyotaro’s story, or is there a chance for a third season?
