The Take
Masamune-kun's Revenge starts with a clear revenge hook but abandons it for standard shounen harem filler and mean-spirited gags. The protagonist stays a vain jerk whose cruelty never earns sympathy or growth.
Single-author manga roots keep the early episodes coherent, yet the show leans into background panty shots and changing-room nonsense that add nothing to the story.
The Verdict
The premise promises satisfying payback but collapses into unlikable leads and recycled fanservice. Background loli-mom elements and petty character dynamics make the whole thing feel cheap.
Skip it. Watch Kaguya-sama: Love is War instead for actual clever romance.
