My Love Story!! (Season 1)

My Love Story!! (Ore Monogatari!!, 2015) is a Japanese romance anime you can watch online on iFILM. Takeo Goda is a towering, square-jawed high-schooler built like a wardrobe, with a heart just as oversized.

Girls never fall for Takeo. They fall for his cool, handsome best friend Makoto Sunakawa instead, and Takeo has made peace with that. Then he shields a quiet girl named Rinko Yamato from a groper on a crowded train, and for once someone likes him back. What follows is all blushing confessions, needless jealousy, and a friendship nobody wants to wreck.

Animated by Madhouse from the manga by Kazune Kawahara and the artist Aruko, the show flips the usual school-romance setup: the big lug is kinder and more honest than any pretty-boy lead, and the tension comes from three decent people terrified of hurting one another. Takuya Eguchi, Megumi Han and Nobunaga Shimazaki lead the voice cast. Stream My Love Story!! online on iFILM.
