The Dangers in My Heart Vol. 12

Quirky courtship awaits in this comedy nominated for the 2020 Manga Taisho Award—and don't miss the anime! Kyotaro Ichikawa, a boy barely clinging to the bottom rung of his school's social ladder, secretly believes he's the tortured lead in some psychological thriller. He spends his days dreaming up ways to disrupt his classmates' peaceful lives and pining after Anna Yamada, the class idol. But Kyotaro's not nearly the troubled teen he pretends to be… and it turns out Anna's a bit odd herself! In volume 12, Norio Sakurai continues to blend goofy humor with sharp observations about longing, miscommunication, and the oddities of adolescence. With brisk pacing, warm art, and a deft sense of timing, this slice-of-life rom-com deepens Kyotaro and Anna's relationship while keeping the manga's signature quirky spark. A standout entry in the series for fans of character-driven humor and romantic misunderstandings.
