What is Romantic Killer about? (Everything to know about the Netflix anime)

Slice-of-life anime titles are plentiful in the anime community simply because no one, not even shounen lovers, can get enough of this genre.

From series like Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku and Horimiya to movies like The Wind Rises and A Silent Voice, there is a title out there everyone can get behind. And, thankfully, you can add one more title to that list—Romantic Killer.

The 2022 Netflix anime series has everything you love in any slice-of-life title. It has humor, uncanny situations, and characters you can’t help but love. However, what separates this anime from the rest is its romance. Or should we say, the lack thereof?

Intrigued? We knew you would be! Here’s everything to know about Romantic Killer.

Romantic Killer synopsis

Romantic Killer follows the life of a young girl named Anzu Hoshino. Anzu isn’t like other high school girls, as she cares little about falling in love with boys. Instead, she prefers to devote her time to eating chocolate, loving cats, and playing video games to her heart’s content. But all that changed once a mysterious wizard came into her life with the goal of making Anzu fall in love for the first time.

With Anzu’s peaceful life now resembling that of an otome game, she has two options: fall in love with the handsome boy or find any and every way to defy this wizard to preserve her singlehood.
