The complete 12-episode first season of ORESUKI: Are you the only one who loves me? is now streaming on both Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The Fall 2019 series focuses on Amatsuyu Kisaragi, a high schooler who finds himself advising his two crushes on how to win over his best friend, only to realize neither girl is interested in him.
Produced by Connect, known for their work on Strike Witches: Road to Berlin and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, ORESUKI distinguishes itself with its heavy reliance on meta-humor and subversion of typical romantic comedy tropes. The narrative actively deconstructs harem and love triangle formulas, positioning Kisaragi as an anti-hero navigating his own manufactured romantic chaos.
Adapted from the manga of the same name, the series holds a MAL score of 7.3 from over 264,000 voters. It has earned recognition for its sharp writing and its frequent self-aware commentary on genre conventions. Viewers seeking a romantic comedy that actively plays with and subverts audience expectations should find its unique premise engaging.
ORESUKI is also known by its Japanese title, Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo. The series continued with a sequel OVA, Our Playball, released in 2020, which maintained the show's distinctive meta-narrative style.
