English Dub Review: The Dangers in My Heart “Karte 5: We got split up”

Overview

It’s not like Kyotaro wants to join Anna’s group or anything. But when a certain other classmate tries to join the group, Kyotaro just gets swept up in events. That’s all!

Our Take

The class embarks on a job experience trip, and Kyotaro, along with some pervert classmates, vies to be in Anna’s group. Through a clever manipulation, Kyotaro succeeds in getting into Anna’s group, earning her praise for his good deed. As the rain falls, Kyotaro lends Anna his raincoat, only to discover she had an umbrella all along. In this moment, Kyotaro realizes he is not mentally ill but in love with her.

During a visit to a manga publisher, Kyotaro attempts to hide his otaku side from Anna, but she notices and encourages him to embrace it. In a cramped elevator, the two find themselves pressed together, revealing a surprising level of flustered emotions. Later, as they discuss manga, Kyotaro’s attempt to convince himself against perceived mockery takes an unexpected turn when Anna waits for him at the bathroom, leading to a missed train and leaving them stranded at the station.

Overall, this episode skillfully explores the evolving dynamics between Kyotaro and Anna, with Kyotaro coming to terms with his feelings for her. The narrative weaves love themes into the story, providing insights into each character’s personality and interactions. The unexpected turn of events, where Kyotaro and Anna find themselves separated from their group, leaves viewers eager to discover what unfolds next in their budding relationship.
