My Love Story!! (俺物語!!)

Once upon a time,

a kind-hearted red ogre lived all by himself

in the mountains.

Home to a kind-hearted ogre. All are welcome. Delicious sweets and tea available.

Becoming friends with humans was his constant desire.

But...

They were afraid of the ogre and stayed far away.

The red ogre's friend, the blue ogre, came to him and said,

"Say, Red...

How about I stir things up in the village?

You can defeat me.

Then the humans should rethink who you are,

and you can become friends."

My name is Gouda Takeo.

I'm a third-year in junior high.

30th Graduation Ceremony Shuuei Junior High School

Today is my last day in junior high,

the graduation ceremony.

And now, it's time for farewell.

It's time to say goodbye.

My Story

Takeo!

It's too bad we won't be in the same high school!

Yeah.

I wish we could've gone to the same school!

Yeah.

Keep in touch, okay?

We'll come see you.

Okay!

Takeo-senpai!

Osu!

Right.

Thank you for being with the club for three years.

Please come by sometime!

Okay.

Thank you for everything —Shinonara Ippon! Thank you! —Nomura You're the man!! You're my role model To Takeo-senpai Congratulations on your graduation

This is from all of us.

Okay, thanks.

Make it to nationals this year, okay?

Bye!

Oh, Senpai!

Senpai!

Takeo-senpai!

Wait a minute!

Senpai!

Takeo!

Hey, Takeo! Where are you going?

Takeo!

I've been working with Satou-san in the student council.

She's kind and has a great smile.

Gouda-kun...

Before I graduate, I want to tell her how I feel.

Where are you, Satou-san?

Satou-san!

Um, I...

I've always liked you, Sunakawa-kun!

I don't have any feelings for you.

Oh, Takeo...

You going home?

Uh, yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Let's get out of here.

This guy is my friend, Sunakawa Makoto.

Why are we friends, you ask?

I'm not really sure myself.

When is the high school entrance ceremony again?

April 7th, I think?

No, the 6th...

Around there.

You lazy bum.

Suna's super popular with the girls.

Sunakawa-kun's so cool.

I've never seen him laugh.

Wouldn't that be great?

I bet he only laughs for girls he likes.

That's so cool.

Isn't it?

When we graduated from kindergarten,

the girl I liked, Yuzuha-chan...

I like you a lot, Sunakawa-kun.

I don't like you.

With that, he made her cry.

Don't make girls cry!

Sorry.

It's okay.

See? I apologized.

It was the same story in elementary school with the girl I liked, Misaki-chan.

I like you.

I don't.

And for Kayomi-chan.

No.

And Eriha-chan.

Nope.

And Mao-chan.

Dislike.

All of them fall for Suna.

People often ask why I'm friends with him...

We live in the same apartment complex.

We're neighbors, and our moms are friends.

As kids, we played together a lot.

We're here!

Come in! Sorry for the mess!

Yeah!

Real men should fight!

It's time for a face-off, man! How do you wanna do this?

Sumo?

Sword fight?

Card game?

Yeah!

Achooo!

Even though our moms got along,

Wa-chaaa!

that isn't to say that we did.

Kick!

Video game, then.

Laser Beam!

Def not on the same wavelength... Laser Beam

However...

Crap!

I can't see

Why?

Why can I not win?

Because you suck?

Damn it!

I'm always losing!

This sucks!

Damn it!

I can't see

We never fought, either.

Man, another loss!

I lost again!

And so on and so forth.

Till the present day. I guess.

Look, it's Sunakawa-kun.

I guess he comes through here!

Oh, Sunakawa-senpai...

Hey, wasn't that guy super hot?

Hey, Suna...

Yeah?

Did you hear that there's been a prowler around here lately?

I guess.

Shisuda Municipal Elementary School

What? Seriously?

Is he after kids?

How dare he?!

I got kind of hung up over it, so yesterday...

Shisuda Municipal Elementary School

Huh? What?

He makes me nervous

Sir?

We got a call that there's a scary guy standing at the school gates...

So yesterday, I got reported to the cops.

Girls, this is how he looks when he laughs.

You don't have to laugh so hard!

Oh, sorry.

Not that it's a big deal...

Hang on, we're almost there.

Whoa!

That was smooth...

Thank you...

Nice job!

He's a real pro.

Ignored?

Here, please.

Th-Th-Thank you...

I'm just not a smooth customer like Suna.

Hey.

That guy... Isn't he kinda sketchy?

I wonder if he's up to something.

Get off this train at the next station!

Hey! Why are you—

Ow!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where do you take losers like him?

Do we just leave him with someone who works here?

We'll take things from here, so you can—

I'll come, too!

A groper?

You again...

You're the one who caught him?

Yes, sir!

Oh, you can let go of him now.

I'll see what he has to say.

Yes, sir!

I didn't do nothin'!

Give it up already.

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Officer, this guy hurt me!

Can you believe that?

He grabbed my arm, like this.

Then he did a number on my neck, like this!

Can you believe that?

He groped me!

This man helped me!

Huh?

Look who's talking, with your skirt up to there.

You were really asking for it!
