My Love Story!! (Japanese: 俺物語!! Hepburn: Ore Monogatari!!?, lit. "It's My Story!!"), is a Japanese romantic comedy manga series written by Kazune Kawahara and illustrated by Aruko. The manga was serialized in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine and is being published in English by Viz Media. A television anime adaptation by Madhouse began airing in April 2015 and a live action film adaptation of the same name was released on October 31, 2015.
The story follows Takeo Gōda, a tall and muscular student who doesn't have much luck with women, as every girl he likes ends up falling for his best friend, Makoto Sunakawa, who is charming and good-looking. This all changes when he saves Rinko Yamato, a petite shy girl who, above all other expectations, falls in love with Takeo, beginning a unique love story.
The series debuted as a 100-page special in Bessatsu Margaret Sister in October 2011 before becoming serialised in Bessatsu Margaret, ending with an 100-page final chapter on July 13, 2016. The first volume was released by Shueisha on March 23, 2012, and the thirteenth and final volume was released on September 23, 2016. Viz Media has licensed the series and released the first volume on July 1, 2014. The tenth translated volume is scheduled for release on October 4, 2016.
In November 2014 it was announced that the series was being adapted into an anime series. The anime was directed by Morio Asaka at Madhouse, with Natsuko Takahashi as the scriptwriter and Kunihiko Hamada as the character designer. The anime began airing on NTV from April 8, 2015 and is being simulcast by Crunchyroll. The opening theme is "Miraikei Answer" (未来形 Answer?, lit.
