Seventeen-year-old Mugi Awaya and Hanabi Yasuraoka appear to be the ideal couple. They are both pretty popular, and they seem to suit each other well. However, outsiders don't know of the secret they share. Both Mugi and Hanabi have hopeless crushes on someone else, and they are only dating each other to soothe their loneliness. Mugi is in love with Akane Minagawa, a young teacher who used to be his home tutor. Hanabi is also in love with a teacher, a young man who has been a family friend since she was little. In each other, they find a place where they can grieve for the ones they cannot have, and they share physical intimacy driven by loneliness. Will things stay like this for them forever?

I have no idea how in the world this got a televised anime adaptation but... THANK YOU BASED ANIME GODS!! Be forewarned though: this series isn't for the faint of heart. Buckle-up your NTR seatbelts and get ready for one hell of a ride ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I binge-watched the entire series in one go, and I was deeply impressed. The show tackles complex themes like toxic relationships, narcissism, and emotional dependency with brutal honesty. It presents these topics so clearly and unflinchingly that only those who’ve truly experienced the whirlwind of emotions, pain, and love it depicts will fully grasp its depth. While it may seem like "just a story," there’s a staggering amount of truth in the intricate dynamics between the characters, all of whom are remarkably well-developed. The goal isn’t to make the characters charismatic but to lay bare what it means to live through dysfunctional relationships, exploring every perspective – whether from the victim or the perpetrator. Simply outstanding.

While I think Scum's Wish is technically fine and somewhat interesting, the whole experience is marred by odd story choices, incomprehensible characters, farcical "relationships" and a ton of pseudo-NTR. This is simply not what I want from a romance anime.

This teacher is really something man, he's okay with being cheated on. There were sometimes when I hated some of the characters but sometimes I love them. Overall such a great anime.

**Scum's Wish**

What a beautiful, messy bunch of fuckers. it's hard to like these people, but really hard to hate them. From beginning to end, as the tangled web of lies, jealousy, hate, deceit and perfidy they are all enmeshed in unravels, we get some of the most human characters of any anime i' More
