The story of "My Love Story" is about the protagonist, Hachiman Hikigaya, who solves problems within the school with fellow members of the Service Club, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, under the direction of Hiratsuka Shizuka, the teacher who is the advisor of the Service Club.

Hikigaya Hachiman is a high school student who looks at the world with a cool perspective, and his unique thoughts and actions are one of the charms of the story. Yukinoshita Yukino is a cool, intelligent, beautiful girl with a personality that contrasts with Hikigaya. Yuigahama Yui is a bright and energetic character, and her relationship with Hikigaya and Yukinoshita adds excitement to the story. The human drama woven by these characters is a major part of the appeal of "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU."

"My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" faithfully reproduces the unique atmosphere of the original light novel in the anime.

The music of "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax" is also an important element that enhances the appeal of the work. The opening theme "Yukitoki" is performed by Nagi Yanagi, and its beautiful melody matches the atmosphere of the story, leaving a strong impression. The ending theme "Hello Alone" is performed by the Sakura High School Light Music Club, and is a song that evokes the sadness of youth. These pieces of music play a role in conveying the emotions of the story more deeply.
