#SHION MUTSUMI HOW TO#
Serinuma doesn’t know how to react to her new popularity. Brash under classmen Hayato Shinomiya (Justin Briner), the pretty boy type-he even gets the role of the princess in his class play-and tall, serious senior Asuma Mutsumi (David Wald) go after her like ants scenting a picnic. Suddenly, she’s surrounded by admirers at school. A week of deprivation transforms her into a slender, curvaceous beauty. She’s so devastated, she locks herself in her room for a week and refuses to eat. Handsome, athletic Yusuke Igarashi (Alejandro Saab), the Japanese equivalent of an all-American boy or a Ken doll, makes Nanashima apologize, but he doesn’t really mean it.Įverything changes when Miracle Saga kills off Serinuma’s adored Shion. When Nozomu Nanashima (Orion Pitts), who looks like Shion–a cute “bad boy” type–falls on top of her after missing a volleyball shot, he says he’s glad he landed on “a cushion”. As she’s fat and keeps to herself, none of the guys in her class pay any attention to her. Serinuma is obsessed with the anime Miracle Saga and its super-cute hero Shion.
High school junior Kae Serinuma (voice by Jeannie Tirado) is a self-styled fujoshi (something like “a dirty girl”), a slang term for female otaku, especially one who’s into boy’s love manga and anime. Based on the award-winning 2013 manga by Junko, the Japanese title Watashi ga Motete Dōsunda literally means “What’s the Point of Me Getting Popular?” Like Ouran High School Host Club (2006), the teen romcom Kiss Him, Not Me (2016), plays off the distaff equivalent of the harem comedy.
