## Synopsis

Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and the Inexperienced Me (2023) is a Japanese animated romantic comedy series produced for AT-X and based on a light novel. Gloomy high school introvert Ryuto Kashima (voiced by Natsuki Hanae) loses a bet to his classmates and confesses to Runa Shirakawa (voiced by Saori Onishi), the popular girl he has secretly adored. Shocked, and privately just as inexperienced as he is, Runa agrees to date him, and the two spend the twelve episodes bluffing confidence while stumbling through first dates, texts, and small misunderstandings. Supporting classmates voiced by Aoi Koga, Ayaka Fukuhara, and Tomori Kusunoki drift in and out of their orbit, adding gossip and teasing around the school. Each episode is a short, self-contained slice of school life built from everyday awkwardness rather than a large plot. The tone is light, sweet, and playful, with an undercurrent of nervous sincerity about two people who are as alike as they are different. Fans of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Horimiya, and My Dress-Up Darling will find the same mix of teen romance and comic embarrassment in a single twelve-episode season.
