Boy Meets Girl: Crooked Heart
The third chapter of 'Boy Meets Girl' digs deeper into the contradictory feelings pulling at Ataru, torn between his real attachment to Lum and his ingrained habits as a compulsive flirt. This more introspective look reveals unusual cracks in a character often reduced to his comic fickleness. Lum, meanwhile, has to grapple with her own doubts about a heart she never quite manages to understand. Darker and more nuanced than usual, this episode gives the series' central relationship real emotional depth.
