Crunchyroll announced on Tuesday that it will stream the television anime of Kazune Kawahara and Aruko's My Love Story!! (Ore Monogatari!!) as it airs in Japan. The series will premiere for premium members on Wednesday, April 8 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, and free members will be able to watch one week later.
The stream will be available in the United States (and its territories), Canada, Central and South America (including the Caribbean), Australia and New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East, South Africa and North Africa.
The anime's main cast will include:
- Takuya Eguchi as Takeo Gōda

- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Makoto Sunakawa
Morio Asaka (Chihayafuru, Aoi Bungaku Series' No Longer Human, NANA, Card Captor Sakura) is directing the anime at the Studio Madhouse (Parasyte, Hunter x Hunter, Summer Wars, Paprika). Natsuko Takahashi (Brothers Conflict, Nobunaga Concerto, Akatsuki no Yona, Yōkai Watch) is in charge of the series scripts, and Kunihiko Hamada (Chihayafuru, NANA, Monster, Summer Wars) is designing the characters.
Trustick is performing the opening theme "Miraikei Answer" and Local Connect is performing the ending theme "Shiawase no ari ka."
Viz Media is publishing the shōjo romantic comedy manga in North America, and it describes the story:
Takeo Gōda is a giant guy with a giant heart. Too bad the girls don't want him! (They want his good-looking best friend, Sunakawa.) Used to being on the sidelines, Takeo simply stands tall and accepts his fate. But one day when he saves a girl named Yamato from a harasser on the train, his (love!) life suddenly takes an incredible turn!
