Add another spring 2015 anime series to the pile of shows that Sentai Filmworks is collecting as they’ve now announced the acquisition of My Love Story!!, known as Ore Monogatari in its original form. The series began earlier this spring and Sentai Filmworks will be bringing it to additional digital distribution locations in the near future and will have a home video release down the line as well.
Scheduled for twenty-four episodes, the show is being directed by Morio Asaka at Madhouse with Natsuko Takahashi handling the scripts. Character designs are being done by Kunihiko Hamada.
The series stars Takuya Eguchi as Takeo Gōda, Megumi Han as Rinko Yamato, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Makoto Sunakawa, Kikuko Inoue as Ai Sunakawa, Daisuke Namikawa as Hayato Oda, Kazuyo Aoki as Yuriko Gouda, Tesshou Genda as Yutaka Gouda, Osamu Kurihara as Junya Enoki, Rina Kitagawa as Nanako, Rena Maeda as Mariya Saijo and Ai Kayano as Yukika Amami.
The manga series comes from writer Kazune Kawahara and artist Aruko which began in 2011 with seven volumes in print so far. Viz Media began releasing the series this summer digitally and in print with the third volume released this past January.
Plot concept: In MY LOVE STORY!!, Takeo Goda is a giant guy with a giant heart. Too bad the girls don’t want him! (They always go for 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! Takeo can hardly believe it when he crosses paths with Yamato again, and he finds himself falling in love with her… But with handsome Sunakawa around, does Takeo even stand a chance.
