Another title spawned from a Japanese visual novel, Myself ; Yourself is a romantic drama that centers on 5 friends, taking off when one decides to come back to town.
Five years ago, Sana Hidaka left Sakuramori, leaving behind Nanaka Yaysushiro, the twin siblings Shuusuke and Syuri Watatsuki, and Aoi Oribe. Five years have passed since then, and Sana finally comes back to start his new life as a second year transfer student in high school. Everyone seems to remember him and welcome him with open arms... well, save for one. Nanaka has closed herself off from everyone else, and it makes matters worse when Sana doesn't realize that it's her. He is going to realize the hard way how much can change in five years, as he tries to become closer to Nanaka once more.
The anime is a short one, lasting for 13 episodes, and it's only of Japanese language currently. Typical of anime derived from visual novels, its cast is mainly dominant of the story's heroines, with only 2 male protagonists. What's more, I usually see anime of this sort derived from visual novels with adult content (for example: Shuffle!), but this came from an all-ages visual novel, and apparently the second original title developed and published by Yeti. I guess the conflict happens pretty early, but it's more than just Sana simply forgetting who she was. In addition, other conflicts arise between other characters, with even Sana himself having something haunting him.
I say that, as far as anime made from visual novels, this is a first for me reviewing something that wasn't made from an ero novel. I grade Myself ; Yourself a 7.8 of 10.
