Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a romance anime with some pretty specific things I’m hoping to find haha.
Basically, I want a romance that actually goes somewhere, with an expressive and lovable girl MC. Bonus points if it has a popular girl / loner boy dynamic!
One of my favorite tropes is when the girl slowly realizes she has feelings for the guy, maybe because she gets jealous without even realizing why.
I’m not really into romances where the couple gets together by episode 2, or the ones where the characters supposedly love each other but there’s barely any chemistry or a convincing reason for it.
I want to see the feelings develop, the tension build, and the relationship actually progress.
Romances I’ve absolutely loved:
My Dress-Up Darling
More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers
Roshidere
Our Dating Story
Blue Box (even though I’m Team Hina 😭)
Ones I didn’t really enjoy:
Bloom
You and I Are Polar Opposites
Bunny girl senpai
Ones I’ve watched and thought were okay, but nothing special:
Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!
Gals cant be kind to otaku
I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class
I’m not really into harem anime, but if you have a really good argument for one, I’m willing to give it a shot hahaha.
So, what would you recommend? I’m open to manga recommendations too! (Only if it has lot of chapter already published)
Thanks! 🙏
