After watching too many action based anime it’s always good to kick back and chill out with a good slow-paced anime filled with the lighter side of things like love troubles and school drama. Such anime can give you a nice reminder of how versatile and feelsy the medium can get, not to mention cheesy. But despite being in search of the cheese that lies in between the light-hearted romance genre it would seem I came across a rather unique anime that takes the norm, twists it on its head and goes with it in a rather sweet and comical way that works for it quiet perfectly.
Ore no Monogatari is at its core just your basic average school romance, but where it twists off is when it focuses on the love life of a student so unused to being romantically loved that when the chance comes he turns into a complete fish out of water, therefore unable to figure out what it is he supposed to do and the result is pretty entertaining to watch.
The style of the anime has you following everything through a monologue by the protagonist as he details the various events of his life from his point of view which draws you into his world as he sees his love life and how others relate to him. This opens up for a bunch of misunderstandings as our dense guy misses a few obvious signs and, while creating good comedic relief, he unknowingly enters into the beginnings of his first relationship.
The guy’s adorable discovery that life isn’t always how he expects it to be is quite entertaining to watch and makes for a sweet experience as you observe how he deals with his newly found spring and its resulting effects on his mental state.

I have to admit after watching so many action anime, it’s nice to have this light and fluffy one to break the pace, but even then I think this anime has a charm all its own. In fact I think I might have fallen for the odd ball protagonist myself while watching these hilarious episodes. There’s just something endearing about the oddball couple that has grown on me as I watch their love blossom. I’ve definitely become a fan of the series and I’ll be honest and say I’m for sure cheering little Rinko-chan on as she tries to progress things further with her manly hero.
