Synopsis
A chubby, cheerful high schooler named Kae Serinuma spends most of her time shipping her male classmates together in elaborate BL fantasies. She's not interested in dating any of them, but she'd rather watch them date each other. Then her favorite anime character dies, she locks herself in her room for a week without eating, and comes out the other side suddenly thin and conventionally attractive. Now four guys and one girl at school are competing for her attention, and Kae couldn't care less because she'd honestly prefer they all just made out with each other instead. That's the core comedy of Kiss Him, Not Me, a reverse harem where the protagonist actively does not want the harem. She's a fujoshi first and a love interest second, and the show mines that tension for everything it's worth across 12 episodes. Brain's Base keeps the pacing snappy and the character dynamics entertaining, with each suitor getting enough personality to feel like more than a cardboard cutout. The romance is there, but it never overshadows Kae's identity as an unrepentant otaku, which is refreshing. If you enjoyed the otaku humor in Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii or the way Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun plays with shoujo tropes while refusing to play them straight, this fits right in that lane. It's warm, it's funny, and it treats its nerdy protagonist with genuine affection rather than making her the butt of the joke.

adg_1★★★★★VerifiedEP 1This anime’s so unserious lmfaoooo 😆It’s like a weird mix-up of genres? Romcom otome yaoi? 🤣 The story’s steeped in BL and fujo culture with all its fun and flaws, so if that’s not your thing, then maybe skip this one. But if you’re as unhinged at fujoshing as dear Kae Serinuma, this is a really nice show to watch LOL
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12Final episode yg menurut saya pace nya bergerak sangat cepat dari kepanikan komedi hingga momen serius confess. Sebuah transisi tone yang khas ala komedi romantis. Karena keterbatasan durasi, musim, dan premis yang lebih mengandalkan gag, Final episode tidak berusaha memaksakan Kae memilih satu pasangan dalam satu musim.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11Mutsumi menantang adiknya kazuma untuk bermain sebuah permainan kartu yaitu Guard the Castle dan melibatkan kae dalam permainan ini. Pace nya dibangun dengan baik lewat keraguan batin Asuma yang perlahan berubah jadi tekad, memberi bobot karakter pada sosok yang selama ini paling pasif di antara para pengejar Kae.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10Komedi berburu harta karun disini cukup lucu yg dilanjutkan dengan pendalaman karakter Mutsumi. Suasana playful khas perburuan harta karun memberi energi ringan yang kontras dengan momen kepribadian Mutsumi yang lebih tenang dan personal.
mznaufal★★★★★VerifiedEP 9Haha episode ini cukup nano nano bagaimana cerita melambat dari komedi dan lebih fokus ke karakter lain yaitu Shinomiya. Pace nya membangun secara bertahap dimulai dari insecurity, kepanikan tersesat, hingga momen heroik kecil yang jadi validasi diri Shinomiya di akhir episode. Detail kecil seperti jaket yang diberikan pada Kae juga jadi simbol visual kepedulian Shinomiya.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8Nanashima kali ini yg menjadi fokus penuh pada episode ini dan menjadi pusat cerita. Sebagai karakter yang paling berkemauan keras serta blak blakan, ceritanya jadi salah satu yang paling penuh kejadian. Pace nya membangun dari komedi ringan panggung teater menjadi momen dramatis.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7Sepertinya episode ini terbagi menjadi dua segmen dengan nuansa berbeda di mana paruh pertama itu masih dengan gaya komedi ala anime ini sembari menampilkan perjalanan terjauh dan paruh kedua tiba tiba transisi genre terjadi menjadi horror supernatural yg menjadikan episode ini sebuah pergeseran pace yang cukup drastis dan tak terduga dibanding episode sebelumnya
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6Kae dan Nishina menonton anime baru tetapi disini twist kecil terjadi bagaimana mereka berselisih hanya karena berbeda pilihan hadehhh. Pace nya jadi lebih fokus pada konflik internal fujoshi dibanding drama romansa harem seperti episode sebelumnya. Sebuah pergeseran genre sementara yang fresh.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5Kae di sini bingung untuk memilih hadiah untuk mempresentasukan keindahan shion. Episode ini punya struktur komedi yang solid, dari drama pahatan , ke twist tubuh kae, hingga skema reward system yang absurd namun lucu.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4Latar suasana kali ini adalah natal!. Kali ini Kae mengajak mereka untuk ke pergi salah satu event yaitu Comiket. Detail keramaian booth dan lautan pengunjung Comiket memberi detail visual yang jauh lebih padat dibanding setting sekolah biasa.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 3Wahh di episode ini Kae kewalahan menghadapi keempat cowok ini LoL. Episode ini punya struktur ala empat mini date dalam satu episode yang membuat pace nya terasa cepat dan padat. Setiap cerita dengan masing-masing cowok diberi porsi singkat namun cukup untuk menunjukkan kepribadian unik mereka.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 2Cerita kali ini menampilkan comedy sport yg ringan, pace nya cukup efektik membangun karakter Nanashima secara bertahap. Heroine kembali tebar pesona dengan mencoba beradaptasi dengan kondisi yg baru. Ekspresi Nanashima dari skeptis ke defensif membela Kae jadi salah satu detail akting wajah paling halus.
mznaufal★★★★☆VerifiedEP 1Pembuka episode yg bergerak cukup cepat bagaimana Heroine utama diperkenalkan dan langsung masuk cerita yg kontras antara komedi fujoshi dan drama lain nya. Momen transformasinya dianimasikan dengan penekanan dramatis untuk menegaskan betapa drastisnya perubahan itu bagi alur cerita.

elisha_tea★★★★★VerifiedEP 12For the final episode, I enjoyed how it balanced the comedy with some heartfelt moments. A lot of the scenes were hilarious because of everything the main casts tried to do with Kae throughout the episode. My favorite part has to be when Kea was interacting with Amane because it showed more of her silly fujoshi side. Most of the scenes in the second half of the episode was so entertaining to watch because of everyone's rivalry with each other was finally put to the test.
elisha_tea★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11Kazuma was easily the highlight of this episode for me. His playful personality and constant teasing made many of the scenes genuinely entertaining, especially during his interactions with Yuusuke and Nozomu in the first half. His antics kept the episode full of comedy, although I did find some of his behavior toward Asuma a little frustrating at times. Overall, his character gives me mixed feelings about him since he does kind of go too far.
elisha_tea★★★★★VerifiedEP 10Most of Asuma's scenes were the highlight of this episode for me because it gave a deeper look into his character. I especially enjoyed most of the scenes from the second half of this episode because it gets more interesting. Kazuma's personality made many of his scenes very entertaining to watch because of what he would do to the main casts. Although some of his actions did make me feel a little conflicted about him.
elisha_tea★★★★☆EP 9This episode was really interesting since it focused more on Hayato. It was refreshing to get a deeper look into his character and see how he would handle the situations he put himself in. I liked how it explored more of his insecurities since he would always want to appear manly in previous episodes.
elisha_tea★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8I really like how this episode focused more on Nozomu, a lot of his scenes were pretty interesting to watch since he wanted to get closer to Kae. I loved seeing his interactions with his little sister since their relationship was incredibly sweet and wholesome. I especially enjoyed most of the scenes from the second half of this episode because of what he would try to do as an apology for something he did.
