Synopsis of The Dangers in My Heart

Kyoutaro Ichikawa may seem like a typical high school student, but in his heart he dreams of murder. So it's no surprise that the person he most wants to kill is never far from his mind: class idol Anna Yamada. Reading alone in the library of his beloved school, he inadvertently begins to meet Yamada, who comes to secretly gorge himself on his beloved candies and sweets. Through their interactions, Ichikawa discovers how silly Yamada is, and he can't help but support her from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Yamada herself can't help but relentlessly mock Ichikawa due to her giddy reactions. Thanks to a series of very touching daily interactions, the distant bond between the two becomes more than just library acquaintances. Perhaps, in time, Ichikawa will come to realize that his murderous desires have turned into something else entirely.
