Every season we have a ton of romantic comedies. “The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife” is another one on the table, and the big catch initially in the title is Invisible Man. A romance where the protagonist is invisible. What the title doesn’t tell you as well is that the female protagonist, Shizuka is blind. So here we have a setup of a man who can’t be seen mostly and a woman who can’t see.
This is the big thing about this show because it really dives into the difficulties that our leads can have. How does Akira struggle in not being seen? While, of course, for Shizuka how she deals with her blindness. The show strikes a good balance in treating their disabilities seriously but not dwelling on it too much so that it makes the show a downer. As this show strives for a more wholesome vibe to it.
However, the depth in the characters does not stop at the show’s leads. This shows the same for our side characters, each of whom has a partner to showcase this dynamic. The great thing about this is that it treats the characters more as individuals with their own issues rather than just as tropes. Which is a problem in many RomComs.
On the production quality, this turns out to probably be Project No. 9’s best work. The visual quality is very consistent and even had some impressive highs, like episode 11.
If you are a fan of wholesome RomComs please give this show a chance because I am sure you will love it.
