Synopsis

High school student Takeo Gouda has an intimidating physique that often scares strangers away. Despite his looks, he is appreciated for his kind and manly nature, making him well liked and respected among those who truly know him. However, he has had no luck with romance. Instead, every girl he likes always ends up taking interest in his best friend—the quiet and handsome Makoto Sunakawa.

One day, Takeo falls in love with the cute and petite Rinko Yamato after saving her from an unpleasant situation. Little does he know, Rinko fell in love with him too! Oblivious, Takeo believes that Yamato is interested in Sunakawa, so soft-hearted Takeo decides to help bring the two together, even if he has to abandon his love story.

everything from the first chapter got me hooked until the last. it was a nice closure though wanting for more it kinds of comfort you knowing that those three wonderful characters will be fine.

first and foremost the lack of toxic masculinity despite the very very masculine mc is what got me, the plot revolves on how he respects his girlfriend that he almost tiptoes around his own girlfriend but despite that this manga shows the most important thing about relationships: COMMUNICATION.

May it be an old relationship or a very very new one, as long as you communicate it will be okay.

and speaking of relationships, nothing ...

So, I randomly watched the anime and enjoyed it so much I needed more... I'll say something similar to what I said about the anime. This isn't for everyone.

Here's a breakdown of how most chapters of Ore Monogatari go:

Yamato: does thing
Takeo: I LOVE HER
Takeo: does thing
Yamato: he's so cooool

*some generic shoujo stuff happening with Suda only existing on the background like this -_-*

There's honestly not much that can be said about Ore Monogatari that wasn't said already about a dozen other shoujo romance manga. It's the most basic and boring template for a shoujo romance you can imagine — only it has a male lead with a weird face doing absurd stuff, so I guess that gives the illusion that it is doing something different. But the subversion ends there: the manga is ...
