Rebellion towards Authenticity: The Charm and Depth of【Kimi to Warui Koto ga Shitai】

Hello, today I'd like to talk about Kimi to Warui Koto ga Shitai. It's a coming-of-age story about a introverted girl and the most disliked boy in school, who weave together a tale about living true to oneself.

The main character of the story is Mamori Wataya, a high school freshman who is tall but introverted and timid. Mamori, who can't say 'no' to anyone, exists in the shadow of her class due to her passive nature. That is, until she unexpectedly meets the most disliked boy in the school, Kanade Fuji, who lives authentically and is known as the “villain”.

While doing pool cleaning by herself, Mamori meets him. His simple and self-centered action of draining the pool because he 'just doesn't like it' shakes Mamori's compliant heart greatly.

Until now, Mamori has been obedient and unable to take any actions for herself. However, she has always admired the villainous figures on TV who stick to their convictions and do what they want, even when oppressed. Seeing Fuji's actions, she empathizes and decides to be like him - to say no to things she dislikes and to do what she wants, even if it is considered wrong.

This is the beginning of a romantic drama of youth between Mamori, who is ignored by everyone, and Fuji, who is disliked by everyone. Through their little rebellions, they gradually understand and are drawn to each other. Attracted by Fuji's 'mysterious strength', Mamori takes a step forward, expressing, 'I want to do bad things with Fuji-kun'.

Kimi to Warui Koto ga Shitai is a work that depicts the love story of this seemingly mismatched pair, Mamori and Fuji, weaving a tale of crystalline youth. They may not be the main characters, but through the courage to live as they want in their small world, they carve out a new youth.

This manga doesn't advocate 'doing bad things', but rather shows how living authentically to one's feelings can illuminate youth. This is brilliantly depicted through the process of Mamori taking a step forward with the help of Fuji, making the unfolding story irresistibly exciting. All these elements create the charm of Kimi to Warui Koto ga Shitai.

Through this work, why not find the courage to live true to your heart, just like Mamori and Fuji?
