About Masamune-kun's Revenge

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Masamune-kun's Revenge (政宗くんのリベンジ) deserves a look (2017). The setup goes like this. At its core: As an overweight child, Makabe Masamune was mercilessly teased and bullied by one particular girl, Adagaki Aki. Determined to one day exact his revenge upon her, Makabe begins a rigorous regimen of self-improvement and personal transformation.

Another thread: Years later, Masamune re-emerges as a new man. Handsome, popular, with perfect grades and good at sports, Masamune-kun transfers to Aki's school, and is unrecognizable to her. Now, Masamune-kun is ready to confront the girl who bullied him so many years ago and humiliate her at last.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
