About My Sweet Tyrant

Meet My Sweet Tyrant (Akkun to Kanojo), a comedy, school and romance anime by Yumeta Company (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Despite his incredible bashfulness, Atsuhiro "Akkun" Kagari has landed the girl of his dreams: the sweet and loveable Non Katagiri. However, his embarrassment for affectionate acts—from giving compliments to exchanging a kiss—causes him to act harsh and downright mean to Katagiri in their day-to-day lives.

Another thread: Akkun is still very much a boy in love; and he shows his admiration for Katagiri in his own way. From tailing her in order to take her picture to eavesdropping in on her conversations, he ends up stalking his own girlfriend. Luckily enough, Katagiri comes across Akkun's actions cute and endearing, and knows he doesn't really mean any of his insults.

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.
