Shikimori seems like the perfect girlfriend: cute, fun to be around, sweet when she wants to be... but she has a cool dark side that comes out under the right circumstances.


After watching the video and reading the plot... Yu-Gi-Oh! without the horror, death, many games being played, etc. for the female audience.

@Rob19ny

That is a very odd take on this show. It is basically just a Romantic Comedy. spoiler[The twist is that the guy is clumsy and unlucky and she is the strong one protecting him. Nothing fantasy or supernatural several volumes into the manga.]

Yeah I was gonna say... that just seems like every romcom that involves people with hidden sides like Horimiya (referring to the yugioh allegory, not Shikimori itself, I haven't read it and I'm not insulting it)

I'll have to wait for an actual episode, but this trailer doesn't catch the atmosphere of the manga at all. I hope to be proven wrong.

Aren't girls like that anyway? I mean, is this like the worst kept secret or something? Laughing
