It might sound a bit weird, but I first heard of this anime from my dad when there was only one or two episodes out! I don't remember how he came across it, but he came up to me one day and told me I absolutely had to watch this new anime called My Love Story and told me it was the best thing he'd ever seen in a long time and "I know you'll love it!!!" so of course, I had to look it up.
And just like my dad said: I was hooked and needed more.
So what is My Love Story about?

Every scene in this anime is amazing |
Yamato-chan ends up showing up to his home and bringing him cake as a way to thank him again for saving her and although he gets happy at first, he figures that she's in love with Sunakawa-kun like everyone else, and feels a little sad. When she leaves again, he once again feels like this must be the end of things, only for him to find a pink phone under one of the pillows on the floor and it turns out to be Yamato-chan's!! She asks him to please meet her at the park the next day to return her phone and he feels so happy and excited to get to see her again.
From there, they start to become closer and he decides that if she really is in love with his best friend, he doesn't want to see her get hurt like all the other girls that have been rejected in the past and decides to help her win Sunakawa-kun's love. They exchange numbers and even start to text regularly, something that really shocks and overwhelms him at first (he can't get over how cute and emoji-filled her text messages are). One day, they meet at the park alone and when he tries to tell her how great of a guy Sunakawa-kun is and how he'd make a great boyfriend, he's shocked when she starts crying and runs off!! Immediately, he goes to Sunakawa-kun's place and asks what Sunakawa-kun could've done to make her cry only to be told that Yamato-chan is actually in love with him and he's so shocked, that he at first asks him if he's confused about who she's in love with. But Yamato-chan ends up coming over right after and after hiding under Sunakawa-kun's bed, he hears her tell him that she's upset and crying, because she thinks Takeo-kun was turning her down and she confesses her love for him!!!!
He comes out from under the bed and they both confess that they've been in love with each other from the first day they met!!! πππ
The rest of the story covers the ups and downs of their relationship: from Yamato-chan's insecurities to Takeo-kun saving them when they get lost in the jungle, as well as other everyday events such as meeting Takeo-kun's parents and studying for their entrance exams to try to get into the same college. I think it's definitely one of the cutest and most heartwarming anime ever. The thing I really loved was how no matter what happened or how much people tried to break them apart (including a rival who flat out tells Takeo-kun that he's going to steal Yamato-chan, because "I'm a better fit for her"!), they both admit that they love one another and that nothing is going to end their relationship. I really loved that unlike other animes that tend to have ups and downs where couples break up, both Yamato-chan and Takeo-kun love each other so much that not only does this not happen, but you also believe that they're truly meant to be.
