Kiss, Him, Not Me is about a very filthy fujoshi, Kae Serinuma, who really wants hot dudes to kiss each other, which I’m sure more than a few of us here can agree with. After her favourite anime character gets killed off she gets very depressed and doesn’t eat for a week. She is now thin and hot and all the hot guys she fantasized want to go out with her. However she has no interest in them and would much rather they date each other. The first episode sets the show up as a pretty standard reverse harem aside from the girl’s naughty fantasies which are pretty hilarious. This is airing on Crunchyroll so check it out.

Kae Serinuma


Lost a bunch of weight and is now hot.
Really wants dudes to kiss each other.
Fujo levels are extremely high.

The Guys that are Interested in her


Standard shoujo characters.
All pretty lame except for glasses wearing senpai in the picture there who was kind to her before she lost weight.
From left to right: Asuma Matsumi, Nozomu Nanashima, Yusuke Igarashi, Hayato Shinomiya

There is also a girl in the promotional materials who didn’t show up in the first episode. She is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro so she is probably really good.

I enjoyed the first episode, it was my kind of nonsense.

Our heroine fasted for a week and didn't need glasses any more. The shut-in life is magical.

This was good and funny, the otome/otaku meter part was the best.

also it's funny to me that all the guys are basically Junko's standard BL leads, so they really should just kiss each other

CR's copy of this episode was really poorly mixed, the music and sound effects drowned out all the speech. It's still really good though. Mutsumi remains the best. :3:

I'm a little conflicted. I'm enjoying the show and it has a lot of really nice moments, but I'm struggling to figure out if there's any unfortunate implications here. Like at least it does seem like they made a strong effort to show that the four boys were generally at least nice to her before she lost weight (Nana I'm unsure of but his personality is probably that he's a bit of a tsun anyways to people he respects, him insulting her right after she lost weight can be explained as him being really confused).

I've lost 120 lbs myself doing a combination of dieting and excersize after literally years of failing for one reason or another so it hits close to home that I'm only starting to see interest in me now and not before. :smith:

I don't want to spoil the show but this is addressed. Igarashi in particular has a moment where he realizes he was being shallow and actually does like her for her personality.

I fuckin loved the manga and the art/voice direction thus far has been great, looking forward to this

Mutsumi continues to be incredibly smooth, Igarashi reveals himself to be a baby who can't handle competition, Nanashima continues to be Shion, and it turns out that Shinomiya works better as a girl

You know, this series makes me wonder something - does the young kouhai character ever actually "win" in otome anime/games? It seems like it's usually the "cold/aloof" character (doesn't really have an equivalent in this show) or the "abrasive and belligerent" character (the equivalent of orange hair in this show). I'm not sure if this show is heading towards orange hair or glasses winning, but it's also a bit atypical since it's not playing the genre straight.

I mean most (all? i think that might be the literal definition) otome games are dating sims so the winner is whoever you want

This shoujo series is great and I don't know why more people aren't watching it. First episode isn't the best but it sets up for greatness and the final harem addition is just too good.

I keep having to remind myself that this show does the exact opposite of all the other boring romance shows I've grown apathetic towards. It's so good.

It's probably just me, but I get the feeling he cares a lot more about being her friend first (which is probably most of what you're talking about), and is just along with these others because they're ridiculously easy to mess with to hilarious results.
