Plot Synopsis
Sana Hikada returns to his hometown after 5 years away living in Tokyo. Although there are some changes to the town, most has remained the same. On a detour to his apartments, he notices a girl in a shrine maiden outfit watching him when he visits the shrine. He finds out, the next day at school, that this girl is actually Nanaka Yatsushiro, his old childhood friend whom he gave a bracelet to before he left, that she still wears, even to this day.

Personal Opinion
First off... apparently anime characters bleed black blood nowadays... =/
Back to topic, Myself; Yourself has gotten a lot of comparisons to another anime named "School Days"... Now if you've read about the ending of School Days, then this comparison should be sounding alarms in your head. Fortunately... I can say that the endings aren't similar.
Myself; Yourself starts off like a typical romance/harem/comedy. A moderate sized cast made up of 2 guys and a lot of girls. You see the possibility of 3 girls liking the main character. However this formula gets shattered by the 8th episode as the anime takes a turn for the darker.
Now when I say darker... i don't mean like "heads will roll" kinda dark (that's just f***ed up), i more mean like the pasts and backgrounds of the characters are shown and the happy athmosphere of the first 7 episodes disappear.
The first 7 episodes were somewhat flawed but really helped me appreciate each character. (Aoi-chan is just tooo cute). It's the final 5-6 episodes that this anime REALLY shines. All the major character developments occur hear and most of these are emotionally touching.
The final episode closes the anime nicely and leaves the viewer satisfied
I personally would've liked to see some of the secondary characters to get some character development. But i'll take what i get
RATING: 3/4
Similar to...
- Kanon
Many girls who have some problems in their past or present
- Shigofumi
the 2nd half the series really targeted the faults of humans in general and almost felt like the writer was making a commentary.
