ORESUKI: Are you the only one who loves me?

Oresuki: Are you the only one who loves me? emerged in 2019 as a television anime adaptation of the light novel series written by Rakuda and illustrated by Buriki. Produced by the studio CONNECT, the series was designed as a subversion of the traditional romantic comedy genre, intentionally deploying common tropes before deconstructing the motivations and hidden personalities of its characters. The narrative focuses on the protagonist's attempts to navigate a web of complex social dynamics and comedic misunderstandings, reflecting a trend in late-2010s light novels toward meta-commentary on high school romance archetypes.

The production sought to balance high-contrast character designs with a self-aware, cynical tone that distinguished it from more earnest entries in the genre. Critics noted the series for its sharp, fast-paced dialogue and the deliberate shift in the protagonist's public versus private persona. While the show was praised for its stylistic choices and animation quality provided by CONNECT, its reception was largely defined by its willingness to lean into dark humor and the unconventional development of its central cast, solidifying its place as a recognizable, if polarizing, contribution to the late-decade anime landscape.
