"Masamune-kun's Revenge", which aired in 2017, will return as a new series in spring 2023. It has been about six years since the previous series, so many people probably didn't expect a sequel to be broadcast. The previous series ended without a conclusion, so this is great news for those who were hoping to see the rest of the anime. With six years having passed, some people may have forgotten what kind of person the main character was. We hope that this article will help you recap the main character, Makabe Masamune, and prepare you for the new series!
Introduction: What kind of story is it?
Eight years ago, Masamune Hayase, who was overweight and bullied, planned to take revenge on Aki Adagaki, a young lady who dumped him and nicknamed him "pig's foot". He lost a lot of weight through dieting and strength training and became a handsome man, changed his surname to his grandfather's, and returned to his hometown under the name Makabe Masamune. Now a completely different person from before, Masamune carries out the "Dead or Love Strategy" to make Aki fall in love with him and then dump her in the best way possible. However, Aki's attendant, Yoshino Koiwai, finds out about his past. The plan seemed to be doomed, but he agreed to help him take revenge on Aihime. What will the outcome of his revenge be?!
Main Character: Makabe Masamune
The main character of this work. He is smart enough to get a perfect score in the transfer exam, has excellent athletic ability so that he scored a hat trick in soccer in physical education class, and is a beautiful boy who turns heads wherever he goes. He is a perfect high school student with all three qualities. He is a handsome man, as everyone agrees, and although he often approaches Aki and behaves in a stalker-like manner, which could make him seem suspicious, he is friendly at school and is very popular despite being a transfer student. He is such a narcissist that he can casually tell the girls "cheesy lines" that he learned from "Eiji," the hero of his sister's shojo manga, and "Momo," the heroine, but he is so popular that even this is forgiven. However, he was not always like that, and deep down he lives in fear that people will find out that he was once called "pig's trotter."
About Masamune's past
Eight years ago, he was fat and was bullied with nasty nicknames such as "Fat Mune" and "Pig Mune". When he tried to act tough to resist the bullies, he happened to meet Aki Adagaki, and they became good friends and got along well enough to fight back against the bullies together. However, he was later called "pig's feet" and abandoned, and the bullies who were present at the event bullied him even more. After that, he became so traumatized that he would get palpitations just by hearing the word "pig's feet", and he began to hate Aki, who gave him the name. Wanting revenge, he abandoned the name "Hayase Masamune" and changed his surname under his grandfather's guidance, becoming a new person. Even though he has slimmed down and become handsome, he never becomes complacent, and swears that he never wants to go back to his old self, so he still does strength training regularly and is always working on improving himself. However, he also has a clumsy side, sometimes snacking and catching a cold. He also hates spiders, screaming when he sees one. Due to the trauma of when he gained weight, he becomes pale when he sees greasy food. He respects Yoshino, who is his accomplice in his revenge and the only person at school who knows his secret, and calls her "master."
Relationship with the mysterious woman "Fujinomiya Neko"
After transferring to the school, he continued to approach Aki and became quite close, but the appearance of the mysterious beautiful girl "Fujinomiya Neko" caused his relationship with Aki to cool off in an instant. Nevertheless, he continued to approach her desperately and struggled to cut off his relationship with Neko, and although he managed to recover to the point where he had a reasonable relationship with Aki, it was still difficult to return to the relationship they had before Neko appeared. What on earth is Neko's purpose? There are many highlights in this episode, so why not review the first season before the new series.
