Love Tyrant is a parody harem. We got our own male MC Seiji Aino who meets Guri, a cupid that accidentally wrote Seiji's name into her Kiss Note and now has to get him to kiss someone or she will die cause gotta keep that Death Note reference alive. We progress from there with Seiji hooking up with his crush Akane Hiyama, triggering a series of events that turn Seiji's life upside down. It gets pretty insane as Seiji tries to get used to all the shenanigans that has now arrived due to Guri's interference. There's not much story besides the few arcs that throw in some drama to spice things up, but these can either take away the silly charm of the show with some temporary seriousness (give us back our craziness drama!) or be quite heartwarming as we all declare our love for each other.
The comedy here is the main and best aspect of Love Tyrant. The interactions that the characters have with each other and the crazy situations (that range from running away from a horny demonic demon penguins to dying and meeting your omnipotent father in law) are all incredibly funny, throwing joke after joke to keep you laughing without end. It pokes fun at harems and deres, subtly pointing out the ridiculousness of these tropes that we have become so used to The pacing does start off a little rushed, but it just adds onto the comedy as it gives us more and more hilarious scenes.
The characters are pretty great as well. Akane is the school idol that turns out to be a kukri-wielding yandere, Yuzu Kichougasaki is a barrier creating tsundere lesbian who's in love with her sister, and you can't forget Guri, our lovable otaku cupid that loves creating yaoi ships and causing trouble. Even Seiji, who acts as our slightly dumb Harem MC, has a certain charm to him with his attempts to keep his girlfriends under control so they don't end up causing too much damage. The rest of the characters (which consists of cupids, sadists, gods, angels, demons, super-powered assassins and bodyguards, the list goes on and on just like this sentence I should really stop) are just introduced to create more comedy or drama, but they get enough screen time across the show to let you see their own unique personalities and quirks
Romance is handled quite nicely with the whole harem skit. There aren't any pussy men that can't handle being 10 metres around women. In fact, there are several dates and kisses shared across the harem as the anime progresses. Sure the show isn't really that romance heavy as we have Seiji trying to figure things out due to him keeping some generic harem mc traits, but the rest of the show is able to make up for it with its comedy and the occasional sweet moments that just makes your heart skip a little.
Love Tyrant is definitely not for everyone. Due to it being a harem and comedy anime, there are many people will get turned off due to that fact that they either dislike the overused idea of several girls dating one guy or just don't enjoy the comedy the show has to offer. However, I highly recommend this show to everyone to at least try out for a few eps. If you dislike it, drop it. If you enjoy it, welcome to the club. We'll get Guri to write your name in the Kiss Note so you can join the harem.
