Synopsis of The Dangers in My Heart
Kyoutaro Ichikawa may look like your typical high school student, but in his heart he dreams of murder. So it’s no surprise that the person he most wants to kill is never far from his mind: class idol Anna Yamada. Reading alone in the library of her beloved school, he begins to accidentally encounter Yamada, who comes to secretly gorge on her beloved candies and sweets. Through her interactions, Ichikawa discovers how foolish Yamada is, and can’t help but support her from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Yamada herself can’t help but relentlessly mock Ichikawa because of her giddy reactions. Through a series of heartwarming everyday interactions, the distant bond between the two becomes more than just library acquaintances. Perhaps, in time, Ichikawa will come to realize that his murderous desires have become something else entirely.
