Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
Romantic Killer earns a moderate 4/10 by mixing personal agency, consent, and healthy-relationship subplots into its shoujo-trope parody while treating gender-fluid elements as incidental comedy rather than the focus.

Detailed Analysis
"Romantic Killer" follows high schooler Anzu Hoshino, who prioritizes games, chocolate, and her cat over romance while resisting the matchmaking schemes of the wizard Riri, who confiscates her desires to force clichéd encounters with male suitors like Tsukasa, Junta, and Hijiri.
The series parodies shoujo and otome tropes through Anzu's emphasis on personal agency, friendship, and self-determination within a heterosexual framework, incorporating subplots on consent and stalking that promote healthy relationship views. Riri's gender-fluid shapeshifting (male Rio/female Riri forms, sometimes they/them) adds comedic non-traditional identity elements central to the plot but remains incidental. These progressive touches on autonomy and identity, without race/gender swaps or activist mandates, underpin the show's overall woke score of 4/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
