Most shojo series feature a slender, "pretty boy" lead. Enter Takeo: a literal giant with a face like a gorilla and a heart of pure gold. While every girl he's ever liked has fallen for his handsome best friend, , everything changes when Takeo saves the petite and sweet Rinko Yamato from a train harasser. What makes this series refreshing is its pace:
If you’re tired of the typical "will they, won't they" anime tropes that drag on for 50 episodes, it’s time to meet . Produced by Madhouse , Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story!!) is the ultimate "good vibes" anime, and its English dub—distributed by Sentai Filmworks —is a rare case where the localized version might just be the definitive way to watch it. The Story: Love Beyond the "Bishonen"
You can catch the dubbed version streaming on services like HIDIVE or pick up the Blu-ray set for a cozy weekend binge.
