Keikenzumi na Kimi to, Keiken Zero na Ore ga is not a power fantasy. It is a mirror. It asks every viewer: Would you be brave enough to date someone who has loved before? Could you handle their history without making it your trauma?

: The original works are published under the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko imprint.

: While the setup feels like a typical rom-com, the series dives into deeper themes like Runa’s unhealthy views on dating, where she often felt an obligation to sleep with guys just because they asked her out.

Several episodes of Keiken Zero have slightly longer cuts of awkward silences and Runa’s micro-expressions in the fansub version, scenes that official broadcasters trimmed for time.
