About Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! (Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!) blends comedy, school and romance by Kyoto Animation (2012). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Everybody has had that stage in their life where they have thought themselves to be special, different from the masses of ordinary humans. They might go as far as seeing themselves capable of wielding mystical powers, or maybe even believe themselves to have descended from a fantasy realm.

From there, this "disease" is known as "chuunibyou" and is often the source of some of the most embarrassing moments of a person's life. For Yuuta Togashi, the scars that his chuunibyou has left behind are still fresh. Having posed as the "Dark Flame Master" during his middle school years, he looks back at those times with extreme embarrassment, so much so that he resolves to attend a high school far away where nobody will recognize him.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.
