Reader’s Question:
Can you tell me the name of this anime?
Discovering a Hidden Gem in Anime
You know, sometimes, you stumble upon an anime that just captures your heart and makes you laugh out loud at the most unexpected moments. Recently, I was chatting with a friend who loves anime, and
they mentioned this title: 『私がモテてどうすんだ』. At first, I was a bit lost, but after doing some digging, I realized it’s called “Watashi ga Motete Dousunda” in English, which translates to “Kiss Him, Not Me.”
A Little Background
This anime is a delightful mix of comedy and romance, revolving around a girl named Kae Serinuma, who is an avid fujoshi—basically, she’s obsessed with boys’ love. The twist? When she loses weight unexpectedly, she suddenly finds herself the center of attention from a group of handsome guys. It’s such a funny premise that really plays with the idea of beauty standards and social perceptions. I can’t help but chuckle when I think back to the episode where Kae’s friends are trying to set her up with various boys, and she’s just daydreaming about her favorite BL couples. It totally reminds me of those moments when I get lost in my own thoughts, especially when I’m supposed to be focusing on something serious—like, say, when I arrive at a family gathering too early, and I find myself raiding the snack table before anyone else shows up!
Relatable Moments
There’s something so relatable about Kae’s character. As a dad, I often find myself juggling family responsibilities while still trying to hold onto my youthful spirit—whether that’s through watching anime or indulging in a good stand-up comedy special. And speaking of comedy, the humor in “Watashi ga Motete Dousunda” is just spot on! The misunderstandings, the awkward encounters, and the sheer silliness of Kae’s situation had me laughing out loud. I remember one scene where she’s trying to hide her excitement for a date but ends up spilling her feelings in the most hilarious way possible. I couldn’t help but laugh and think, “Yeah, I’ve been there!”
Final Thoughts
As I reflect on my anime journey, discovering gems like this one reminds me of the importance of finding humor in our everyday lives. Whether it’s through a quirky show or a funny interaction with my kid, there’s always something to smile about. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
