i prefer romcoms like Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Hiyokoi.

The Garden of Words isn't even a romance..

This is from a comment I left a couple years ago on a different forum:

:O oh i hadn't thought about it that way. granted i also watched it quite a while ago so i dont really remember much of the story line x).

No worries! Sorry if I came across rude; it's definitely a common misunderstanding. It's been one of my favorites for a while, mostly for the subtleties it presents. So naturally it irks me a little when I see it constantly categorized as a romance. xD

Check out ReLIFE. One of my favorites when it comes to romance.

I recommend reading the manga as Kanketsu-hen skipped some stuffs and imo the manga ending was better overall. The manga is colorful so it's very easy to get into.

Haha no worries! I totally understand. I also wouldn't like it if one of my favourite anime was misinterpreted. I think I will watch kotonoha again now that I know what to look out for :).

Tsukigakirei is quite good IMO, if you just want a pure romance anime. It's a wholesome story if there ever was one.

I agree. The best of its kind. Kimi No Na Wa is really good too.

Haha no problem. Make sure to read the manga for the continuation once you’re finished with the show.

I would say Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride) or Toradora


I tried watching the first 11 episodes of Toradora and sadly didn't get that into it.


Toradora is definitely a slow burn. You should pick it back up, the payoff makes it all worth it.

i am going to recommend a few under the romance genre, you're asking for the best so don't expect me to leave out the heavy hitters that most of you have probably seen

[not in rated order]
1. Toradora!
2. Plastic Memories
3. Clannad After Story
4. Kimi no Na wa.
5. Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
6. ReLIFE + OVA
7. Kotonoha no Niwa
8. Hotarubi no Mori e
9. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai
10. A Silent Voice



Toradora at no.1 is the way to go. You real for that one. Kimi no na wa gotta be lower down the list tho. If we are being honest no one watches that movie for the romance, but for the art.

Its either Boku no Pico or School days, ya'll should try it heh.
Joking aside, Your Name is the only romcom that made me feel more emotions than any seasonal anime have had in their whole 12-24 eps run.

i know no one likes it because of how takeo looks (which.. really prove's the shows point lol) but ore monogatari is so so good. the basic plot of "even 'ugly' people can be in relationships" is my favourite thing, its so sweet and has such like a normal slice of life plot, with takeo showing how he deals with people thinking he shouldnt be with yamato because of how he looks but yamato see's him as more than his looks. idk, its one of my favourites bc of its sweet story and i think more people should try it

I've recently watched a few good rom coms like My Bride Is A Mermaid & DearS ,which I quite enjoyed, light hearted but still with decent romantic plots and fulfilling ending.

Snow White With The Red Hair is an ok shoujo anime for romance, really beautiful artwork as well. Another one that peaked my interest was Plastic Memories, it had everything squeezed into a short form and a sad/happy ending.

Kare Kano, I don't know what else to say about it besides just watch it already


Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything…
Wouldn’t that be great?

The Garden of Words isn't even a romance..

This is from a comment I left a couple years ago on a different forum:

Um I won't say that you are wrong because you aren't and have put it quite aptly but I just wanted to say that romance doesn't necessarily have to be like between Gf and bf type. Like even loving nature is a romance. Something along that line, not exactly.

I can see what you mean there, and going by the textbook definition of the word, you're indeed correct. It's just that when I hear the word "romance" used to refer to an anime (especially in the context of being recommended as a pure romance), Kotonoha no Niwa is one of the last things that comes to mind for me. I guess you could call it a friend-romance or something, lol xD

Off the top of my head, kokoro connect and tsuki ga kirei. The monogatari series also has plenty of good romance but it's not exactly "normal" and there's a lot of other stuff in between. Romance is one of many elements, not the central one by any stretch.
"The problem with defining even an aspect of your personality by something that you like, is that criticism of that product appears to you to be criticism of you personally. I find it to be a very harmful attitude, [...] you can't rationally discuss a product because you've started to define yourself by its very existence."

If not much trouble can you please answer some of my question regarding this series...

Was this series completely adapted?? Are the endings of LN and anime same?

Koi Kaze
Inuyasha (the show is also heavily other things, like adventure and fantasy, but romance is a substantial part of it)
Beatless
Elfen Lied
Aku no Hana
Fruits Basket

My favorite by far are typically transgressive romance stories though involving something being different, tragic, or alienating/isolating with one or both of the characters in the relationship, like incest, cross-species (be it a humanoid species like a mutant or vampire or an android), or coming from a different time period/radically different culture or social class or upbringing or ideology, or age gap.

So I'm not really interested in a good 95% of the romance stories seemingly out there about more plain Jane vanilla MCs.

Spice&Wolf - It's on the top of the romance genre for over a decade for a reason. It's currently still the best show/novel in the genre.

Maid sama - One of the few shoujo which are fun to watch and with likeable characters for both mcs

RE:Life as mentioned before it is a good watch and even better read.

I can answer this:

Yes and yes, for the most part. And I'm still kinda pissed about it....it just went in a direction I didn't like very much.

I'd suggest Ao Haru ride and Ore Monogatari for progressive story, Takagi-san for episodic series.

My top 5 romance animes are probably:

- Given
- Toradora!
- Ao Haru Ride
- Ore Monogatari!! (kind of straddles the line between romance and rom-com)
- Lovely★Complex

Honorable mention for Akatsuki no Yona which has god tier UST.

I watched first series a long time ago and recently thought of starting it again but because of rumors of a bad ending, i kept avoiding it.
Guess its time i face that ending.

One of my favorite things about the series, it ended beautifully for me and while it's been years since I've seen I recall it handling romance without a single shred of contact/kiss etc. Highly recommended.
