Oresuki	comment	Ore wo Suki Nano wa Omae Dake Ka Yo— translating to “Are You the Only One Who Loves Me?” and shortened to Oresuki—tells the story of Amatsuyu Kisaragi, AKA “Joro”. Joro is an average high school boy, kind and sincere, like a typical light novel protagonist, or at least that’s how he acts in hopes of attracting the attention of the girls he's interested in. Specifically, he’s trying to win the affections of Aoi Hinata, AKA “Himawari (Sunflower)” and/or Sakura Akino, AKA “Cosmos”. One day both girls sit alone with him on a bench to confess… that they’re in love with his best friend Taiyo Ooga AKA “Sun-chan”, and they want him to help them. While he’s reeling from this, he gets yet another surprise as Sumireko Sanshokuin AKA “Pansy”, the unattractive library girl with an annoying attitude, reveals that she, alone, is in love with him (and has been stalking him for some time). Thus begins a twisted romantic comedy filled with twists and turns, betrayals and manipulations.Oresuki is a light novel series written by Rakuda and illustrated by Buriki, which were published from 2016 to 2022 for a total of 17 volumes. An anime adaptation produced by Connect (a subsidiary of SILVER LINK.) aired in 2019, with the series composition and episode scripts written by Rakuda. The anime’s OVA released in 2020, and is the last project that Connect would work on as an independent entity before being dissolved and absorbed back into its parent company.

Oresuki / int_1aa30797	comment	Single Woman Seeks Good Man: For as much of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing as Joro is, the moments when his Hidden Heart of Gold underneath shines are what catch the affection of the girls who like him. Pansy somehow blends this with All Girls Want Bad Boys, as she loves his hidden caring side just as much as she loves the nasty persona surrounding it. The only part of him she doesn’t like is the insincere Nice Guy he fabricates around that part of him. Cosmos and Himawari were initially drawn to Sun-chan after they saw him break down in Manly Tears hidden from his teammates who he comforted following their loss in the baseball game. After Sun-chan’s true colors are revealed and Joro stands up for their feelings despite all of them having turned their backs on him, they begin to see Joro in a new light. Asunaro’s case is explained under Rescue Romance. Hose is a really nice guy and a helpful friend, and the object of Cherry and Tsukimi’s affections. However, they still love him even after his true colors as the biggest Bitch in Sheep's Clothing of the whole series is revealed.

The roles switch after the first arc concludes when Pansy reveals Sun-chan’s plans to try and screw over Joro for a past perceived slight. There are a few other unlucky childhood friends besides them. Aside from Himawari’s crush on Sun-chan, Sun-chan’s Start of Darkness involves Anemone breaking his heart in middle school by asking him to matchmake her with Joro the same way Himawari would ask Joro. Then there’s Tsukimi being Hose’s childhood friend, and she continues to support his feelings for Pansy even after confessing to him.

Tsubaki figures that this was his roundabout way of trying to Dump Them All without rejecting them, so that they could preserve their friendships with each other instead of fighting over him.

One day, both girls ask him out on dates, where they confess that they're in love with Joro's best friend, Sun-chan. When Joro is out of vision and earshot of both girls, he reveals that the Oblivious to Love Nice Guy persona was all an act to get both girls to like him so that he could have a typical anime harem. Joro's real personality is closer to a Jerkass Japanese Delinquent with an extremely vindictive and manipulative streak.

An echo is made to the Title Drop from the end of the first episode. While that instance was Joro asking bitterly if Pansy is the only girl who has a crush on him, this instance is Sun-chan cherishing that Joro is his loyal best friend who will always be by his side throughout every rejection he gets.

Joro later finds out she purposely did this to get away from Hose, a boy she went to middle school with and who was in love with her, but also unintentionally hurt their two female friends who are too scared to ask him out so instead just secretly holds their feelings inside. Downplayed with Sasanqua as she wasn’t exactly unattractive in her Gyaru form but after she sheds it, Joro is taken aback by her beauty and doesn’t even recognize her immediately.

Oresuki / int_2848e7d2	comment	Oblivious to Love: As a satire of harem stories, expect any example of this that appears to be subverted or somehow played with. Joro paints himself as this at the beginning as part of his Nice Guy harem protagonist façade, but it turns out that not only is he fully aware of the signals he’s getting, but those signals are coming from girls who are both a Master of the Mixed Message and don’t actually have crushes on him like their behavior would indicate. The finale has him fall into this more than he realized, as he neglected to consider that three of the girls he’s counting on to vote in favor of Pansy being with him are in love with him themselves. Sun-chan seems to be this, laughing off the awkward behavior Cosmos and Himawari have around him as just them being quirky and seeing no problem with asking them to play wingman for him and Pansy after Joro inspires him to pursue Pansy. Then it’s revealed that he is completely aware of Cosmos and Himawari crushing on him and deliberately broke their hearts with that request to screw over Joro. According to Pansy, part of why she distances herself from her middle school friends is that she feels guilty over being the object of Hose’s affection while he remains oblivious to Cherry and Tsukimi’s feelings for him At the baseball game, it’s revealed that Hose is just as aware of Cherry and Tsukimi’s feelings for him as Sun-chan was, and he was similarly manipulating them for his own gain.

Himawari and Cosmos both realize this after they overhear how Joro still tried to help them hook up with Sun-chan even though he also liked them. As they spend more time together, they both come to realize that they're in love with him after all, though he's moved on by that point. At the pool, Sasanqua asks Joro about how to apologize to someone she’s wronged, with him apparently not realizing who she was at the time. When she takes his advice on apologizing sincerely, she then begins to realize she’s falling for him too after he said he didn’t hold any grudges against her.

When he thinks no one's around, Sun-chan even threatens to rape Pansy for not returning his affection, until Joro appears and punches him out.

Like Joro, she also turns out to have a hidden motive that is more selfless than she lets on, and it centers on getting Pansy a boyfriend to protect her from Hose. Asunaro tags along with Tampopo’s plan because she thinks it’ll get Pansy out of the way between herself and Joro, but that doesn’t stop her from working with Joro and Pansy to call out Tampopo’s lies.

That said, Joro is still prone to calling Himawari a bitch in his head and still aspiring to make the girls his harem, even if he’s more appreciative of his friendships with them now. Sasanqua and her Girl Posse stop bullying Joro after the rumors about him from the first two arcs are disproven and he accepts the apologies they give. From then on, she’s focused on trying to get closer to him and her friends are supporting her.

At the beginning of the series, Joro thinks he’s the main character of a harem story and thus entitled to the affection of Cosmos and Himawari. Such a mindset leads to disappointment for him when they turn out to be more than just love interests. Sun-chan also disregarded their feelings and paid the price for it. In the third arc, Joro’s perception of himself as a mere background character is what drives his actions. It takes a You Are Not Alone talk with Tsubaki for him to accept that he’s just as valued and important as his friends. Hose has the same sense of entitlement that Joro used to, believing he’s the main character and should get Pansy’s love. Like Joro, this selfish way of thinking comes back to bite him.

In the first arc, Pansy is this to Sun-chan’s revenge against Joro. In the second arc, Cosmos is the one who foils Asunaro’s plans. Tampopo’s attempts to matchmake Pansy and Sun-chan never stood a chance to begin with, but what she really didn’t see coming was that Pansy was already in love with Joro and good enough friends with him for them to conspire together. Joro’s plan in the last episode of the anime doesn’t quite achieve the instant victory he expected, because Cosmos, Himawari, and Asunaro would rather have Joro for themselves than lose him to Pansy. Just when it seems that Joro’s been Out-Gambitted and Hose is about to get a landslide victory over him in their contest, Sun-chan steps in and evens up the score by both winning the baseball game and contacting all the girls in their school to give Joro barrettes just like Hose’s female schoolmates did.

Pansy is able to see that Joro has another, less selfish agenda than even he realizes, which is getting Sun-chan a girlfriend because I Want My Beloved to Be Happy, basically subverting this trope. Ostensibly, Tampopo’s reason for wanting Sun-chan and Pansy together is to improve Sun-chan’s mental state and performance, since she’s the manager of his baseball team, though it quickly becomes clear that this is just a stepping stone that she hopes will bring her fame via the team’s success. Like Joro, she also turns out to have a hidden motive that is more selfless than she lets on, and it centers on getting Pansy a boyfriend to protect her from Hose. Asunaro tags along with Tampopo’s plan because she thinks it’ll get Pansy out of the way between herself and Joro, but that doesn’t stop her from working with Joro and Pansy to call out Tampopo’s lies. Cosmos, Himawari, and Asunaro all give their barrette votes in favor of Hose over who should Pansy be with because they’re in love with Joro themselves. That said, they still consider Pansy their friend (in a Friendly Rivalry way that she reciprocates) and refuse to let go of their friendship with her even when it’s revealed that the penalty has been altered so Joro can’t be with any of them if he loses unless they abandon Pansy. Eventually, Cherry and Tsukimi are convinced to confess their feelings to Hose instead of hiding behind supporting his pursuit of Pansy as an excuse to not be honest with themselves. Afterwards, Cherry gives her barrette to Joro to affirm that she’d rather Hose be with her than with Pansy, while Tsukimi still wants Hose to be happy and gives him her barrette.

One day, both girls ask him out on dates, where they confess that they're in love with Joro's best friend, Sun-chan. When Joro is out of vision and earshot of both girls, he reveals that the Oblivious to Love Nice Guy persona was all an act to get both girls to like him so that he could have a typical anime harem. Joro's real personality is closer to a Jerkass Japanese Delinquent with an extremely vindictive and manipulative streak. Later, it's revealed that Joro's best friend, Sun-chan holds an intense grudge against Joro for unknowingly "stealing" the affection of a girl Sun-chan used to like in middle school. Sun-chan thus deliberately attempted to (and for a brief time, succeeded to) ruin Joro's relationship with both Himawari and Cosmos as revenge. Ironically, though, Sun-chan is foiled when another girl he has interest in, "Pansy", is again in love with Joro and thus creates and Engineered Public Confession that outs Sun-chan's plan to Joro, Himawari, and Cosmos. When he thinks no one's around, Sun-chan even threatens to rape Pansy for not returning his affection, until Joro appears and punches him out.

Oresuki / int_7ef728b1	comment	Tsundere: Joro becomes an odd one for Pansy, maintaining that he’s only attracted to her purely for her Hidden Buxom (plus the cookies she bakes him) and too repulsed by her abhorrent personality to consider her girlfriend material, but it’s often shown that he does care about her as a person far more than he wants to admit. Prior to her confession, it’s indicated that Pansy has always spoken to Joro with a sharp tongue, and this doesn’t let up one bit even after she starts peppering in explicit expressions of love for him, so she’s an example too. Sasanqua is a more straightforward example to Joro, though mostly in denying that she likes him rather than hiding her feelings behind bullying. She’s actually less abusive to him as a tsundere than she was when she hated him and was genuinely bullying him. Her Image Song on the soundtrack is even titled Tsundelove.

After Sun-chan admits to Joro that he’s crushing on Pansy (who herself already confessed to Joro), he misinterprets Joro’s words and takes them to mean he should ask for help in getting Pansy’s attention, leading to him asking both Cosmos and Himawari to play matchmaker for him, though Sun-chan is more aware of their feelings for him than he lets on and is deliberately invoking this to get them mad at Joro. Cherry and Tsukimi are also trying to set up Pansy with Hose specifically because they’re in love with him and want him to be happy, though as Cosmos and Himawari later point out to them, this is an excuse to not be honest with their feelings.

He immediately runs into Hose, a guy he talked to briefly in a previous episode. Though Hose does genuinely help them out, Pansy's reactions towards him suggests they had a past. She tells Joro that while Hose helped to squash the rumors about her, and was really in love with her. However, she hated how Hose unintentionally hurt others and also seemed to not realize it, such as the other two girls from his school being in love with him, doing Cannot Spit It Out for the sake of I Want My Beloved to Be Happy so they could at least move on with their lives in the event he rejected them.

Despite this, however, he willingly agrees to help them as best he can, only afterward getting angry and then rationalizing that once Sun-chan chose one he could get the other on the rebound. At the same time, it turns out that Sun-chan himself has this to a much larger degree. He’d done everything to win the heart of a girl in junior high, but she only got close to him to try and catch Joro’s attention in spite of Joro not doing anything at all. His fury over her refusal to love him for his efforts led him to take advantage of Himawari and Cosmos’ love to destroy their relationships with Joro, isolating him and hurting him in any way possible. And the biggest example of them all is Hose, who has the same “I’m the main character and get all the girls” mindset Joro used to have and thinks that entitles him to Pansy’s love even though he knows she doesn’t reciprocate.

Oresuki / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Plenty, especially in the anime. After Cosmos and Himawari ask Joro to be their wingman, Joro’s tantrum evokes some Death Note imagery. Joro’s The Scream reaction to Pansy’s confession is an Art Shift to the style of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” painting. Pansy refers to Joro’s hidden nasty side as Hyde, and holds up a copy of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to make her point. There's also Joro’s inward insult to Himawari when she hugged him, "Btch, Btcher, B*itchest!" which is a clear shout out to Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto's "Cool, Cooler, Coolest!" By the third time the Bench appears, it’s accompanied by a leitmotif that blatantly rips off the Imperial March from Star Wars, complete with Darth Vader-style heavy breathing sounds in some instances. When Asunaro invites Joro to the Bench with her, Joro’s Oh, Crap! reaction includes an Art Shift to the style of Kaiji. In #8, Cherry describes the price of Pansy’s copy of Kokoro by Natsume Sōseki as 1/100,000th the cost of Shenmue. The subtitle describing Laurier gives her age as “forever 17”note Laurier’s VA Yukari Tamura is also a part of the forever 17 club. Tampopo’s formal introduction to Joro takes a page from Sailor Moon. While gushing about her plots to Joro and Asunaro, Tampopo makes Yuno Gasai’s infamous facial expression from the first episode of her anime. When the group gathers to find a way to stop the library being shut down, it goes around the table with each person mentioning a group whose help they'll enlist. Joro's response when it's his turn? "I don't have many friends."

Oresuki / int_fbd5fda1	comment	Cosmos, Himawari, and Asunaro all give their barrette votes in favor of Hose over who should Pansy be with because they’re in love with Joro themselves. That said, they still consider Pansy their friend (in a Friendly Rivalry way that she reciprocates) and refuse to let go of their friendship with her even when it’s revealed that the penalty has been altered so Joro can’t be with any of them if he loses unless they abandon Pansy.
