## Synopsis

My Love Story!! (2015) is a Japanese animated romantic comedy series created as a Madhouse production for Nippon TV, adapted from the manga by Kazune Kawahara and Aruko. Takeo Goda, a towering high school student with a giant heart, has long accepted life on the sidelines while girls chase his good-looking best friend Makoto Sunakawa, voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki. Takeo is voiced by Takuya Eguchi, and his fortunes shift when he rescues Rinko Yamato, voiced by Megumi Han, from a groping harasser on a train. The engine of the single 24-episode season is his earnest, clumsy pursuit of Rinko, complicated by the affection and rivalry of the friend he admires. Episodes move through school days, family life and everyday crushes in a warm, bright register that mixes sincere heart with physical slapstick. The tone stays cozy and playful, with a romantic triangle that tests Takeo's friendship as much as his nerve. Fans of Horimiya, Kimi ni Todoke and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War will find similar resonance in its school romance and comedic earnestness. It is a light, feel good slice of life romcom that rewards viewers who enjoy underdog romance and affectionate humor.
