Keshite Mane Shinaide Kudasai(2019)

Keshite Mane Shinaide Kudasai is a romantic comedy series following Kakeda Satoshi, an engineering student obsessed with science and theory. Socially awkward and emotionally detached, Kakeda has dismissed romance as illogical—until he witnesses Iijima-san, an older girl working in the school cafeteria, fearlessly extinguish a fire with a fire extinguisher. Her brave, decisive action captivates him in ways his rational mind cannot explain. As Kakeda grapples with feelings that defy his scientific worldview, he must navigate the messy, unpredictable territory of genuine human connection. The series explores whether logic and love can coexist, and if an oddball engineer can overcome his own emotional barriers to pursue the woman who's shattered his carefully ordered world.
