8 years ago, Masamune Makabe was bullied by a girl called Aki Adagaki. Now, he’s out for revenge! Reborn as a slimmer, more handsome guy, he’s come back to his hometown. He’s changed his last name and become a totally different person, all for the sake of Operation Dead or Love - a scheme to make Aki fall for him, only to dump her in the most spectacular way.

Masamune-kun no Revenge is a about Masamune, a good looking skinny boy who has worked hard to get where he is. He used to be portly and annoying, and had a crush on Aki Adagaki. She turned him down cruelly by calling him ‘Pigs foot’. He lost a bunch of weight, and is now back to make her fall in love with him, so he can reject her, breaking her heart and make her feel terrible just like he did a long time ago. ‘When you seek revenge, be prepared to dig two graves’. Well Masamune-kun was rejected flat out in the beginning and all his moves failed. Yoshino literally blows his cover after looking into his past in the beginning, but she offers him a deal. She is tired of serving Aki, so she will cooperate with Masamune to set up Aki. However, he has to leave everything up to Yoshino…. In natural Japanese boy fashion, he does not listen. Everything keeps blowing up in his face, but it is pretty funny how Aki trusts Yoshino blindly so she shows up in fully cosplay garb to the first date. While many places will say that this is comedy, the comedy is very subtle which is not bad…. But it is not good either. This feels like a full drama and probably what would have happened in school days had Makoto been able to keep it in his pants. Still though, it does have its cute moments and it is entertaining. Verdict: Will we keep watching? Yes, we will. Here is to whatever else it will show us next!
