Do you know the popular light novel "Ore wo Suki na wa Omae dake ka yo"? It's a very popular work, and it has been decided that it will be made into an anime in the fall of 2019. At first glance, this story seems like a typical light novel-style romantic comedy! ...But in fact, it's completely different. Rather than being a romantic comedy, it's a story that makes you want to root for the main character. In this article, we will introduce the main characters that appear in "Ore wo Suki na wa Omae dake ka yo". Let's do some preparation before the anime is made.
Main Character Introduction① Kisaragi Amatsuyu
First, the main character, Kisaragi Amatsuyu. His nickname is Joro. He is called that because if you take the "moon" from his name, it becomes "watering can (joro)". He is a very ordinary high school boy. He is not good-looking, and his grades and athletic ability are not so good. His personality is also very ordinary. He is a member of the student council and is in charge of the secretary. At first glance, doesn't he seem like a template light novel protagonist?
However! He is creating a character
Surprisingly, Joro is creating a character! And it is a "caught-in-the-way, insensitive, pure boy" (?). He really feels like a "light novel protagonist"! The male protagonist in a romantic comedy is insensitive and doesn't notice even if many girls like him. Joro aims to be that kind of character and is trying to be popular. He's actually a strategist.
Who do you want to be popular with?
There are two people he wants to be popular with. They are his childhood friends, Himawari (Hinata Aoi, commonly known as Himawari) and Sakura Akino (Akino Sakura, commonly known as Cosmos). He is very close with his childhood friend Himawari, and they always go to school together. He said that the childhood friend route was a sure thing, and on top of that, she was very cute, so he was aiming for it. Cosmos is also the student council president and a very beautiful woman. However, it was obvious that Joro misunderstood, as the two of them seemed to like her... but in fact, a big twist awaits.
Main Character Introduction 2 Sanshokuin Sumireko
Next is Sanshokuin Sumireko. She is commonly known as "Pansy." She was called that because she took away the "in" and "ko" characters from her name to make it "Pansy." She has black hair in pigtails and glasses, a typical plain appearance. She is a member of the library committee. Because she looks so plain, Joro said something like "It's a bit of a stretch to have a nickname like a sunflower or a cosmos." (I know that's rude!) That's a bit of an exaggeration, but she has a mysterious aura about her.
Actually, she's Joro's stalker! ?
When Joro goes to the library, he meets Pansy. This is supposed to be the first time the two have met, but for some reason Pansy knows about Joro. What's more, Joro is wary of Pansy, who has "Joro" written on the mug she uses and often behaves suspiciously. What's more, Pansy makes the shocking statement that "there's something stalking you"! This is quite surprising, isn't it? This leads us to the title, "Are You the Only One Who Likes Me?". What's more, she says that she likes Joro. Joro is quite annoyed by her strange behavior and her harsh remarks... But Pansy also has a secret. She's not just a plain girl, and she's not just stalking Joro. What could the mystery behind her be...?
Main Character Introduction ③ Sunflower
Next is Sunflower (Hinata Aoi). She goes by the nickname "Sunflower". She's a very cute girl! She's petite and wears a sunflower-shaped hair clip. She's cheerful and the ace of the tennis club. She's childhood friends with Joro, and they go to school together. The two get along so well that there are even rumors that they're dating.
But Himawari likes...
Himawari is such a good friend of Joro, and in this kind of romantic comedy story, it's a given that childhood friends end up together (?), so it seemed like Himawari liked Joro. In fact, Joro thought so the most. But Himawari likes Joro's best friend, Taiyo Oga (nicknamed Sun-chan). He is the ace of the baseball team and the top of the class. Furthermore, she asks Joro for help in making her love come true. What will happen to their love?
Main Character Introduction ④ Akino Sakura
Next up is Akino Sakura. She is commonly known as Cosmos. She is called "Cosmos" because of the "no" in her name. In a word, she is both intelligent and beautiful. She is a neat and beautiful girl who looks good with straight hair, has a very good figure, and never neglects to prepare for anything. She speaks in a rather formal tone, with a "that's what it is" kind of feel. She and Joro are in the same student council, so they often interact with each other. She blushed when talking to Joro, and looked happy after exchanging addresses, so she seemed to like him a lot. But she also...
She liked San-chan!
It's a given... but Cosmos also liked San-chan. Joro was really sure that she liked him, and when she called him to the park at night, he had high hopes. But it ended up being a big disappointment. She was called to the park and asked for her address because she wanted him to help her fall in love with San-chan. This must have been quite a shock for Joro. Subconsciously, Cosmos probably only thought of Joro as a useful junior...
Main Character Introduction ⑤ Oga Taiyo
Next is Oga Taiyo. He is commonly known as Sun-chan. It's "sun" from "sun". He is Joro's classmate and best friend. He is the ace of the baseball team and is loved by all the members. He is also the central figure in the class and is at the top of the caste. He is trusted by everyone. He is also someone who is liked by Himawari and Cosmos, who we've been talking about.
What made them fall in love with him?
He's the center of attention in the class, the ace of the baseball team, and he's also trusted, so it sounds like a profile that would make him popular. However, there was a specific reason why San-chan and Cosmos fell in love with San-chan. It was last year's baseball game. The baseball team was just one step away from going to Koshien, but they couldn't. At that time, San-chan, who should have been the most hurt, was desperately encouraging all the team members. However, when he was alone, he was crying loudly. His tears were filled with various emotions, such as regret and sadness. Himawari and Cosmos, who happened to see him like that, fell in love with him at the same time.
He seems like a nice guy, but...
San-chan is popular with the girls and seems like a nice guy, but he actually has a secret... For more details, please check out the original work, and you will surely be surprised by the gap.
