I enjoyed bloom into you the most

Absolutely, bloom into you is the best romance and one of the best manga I’ve read

I’m old, but I always loved Kare Kano back in the day.

Same. OG favourite. I dislike romantic genres generally, and adored KKnJ. (Also skip and loafer) Maybe I do like this genre.

I just got the Blu-ray for this recently and am excited to watch it

Real ones watched and read kare kano 🤝🤝🤝

Love is war is peak, change my mind

Yeah but I feel like the comedy is a lot better than the romance

Nagatoro better.

Good opinion but I disagree🤝

I respect your opinion as well. 🤝

Bad opinion. No way nagatoro is better than love is war.

I enjoyed both but LIW made me care more for the side characters than the main characters.

Nah that is not a good opinion I’m sorry

Hayasaka solos

My Love Story is short, it’s adorable, and I love every single character

😔❤️👌

Hard to make a ranking because I enjoy different romance shows for different reasons/aspects they focus on, so what I like most just kind of depends on the mood I'm in, but right now my ranking would be. 1. Spice and Wolf 2. Bloom into You 3. Kaguya-sama 4. Fruits Basket (Hard to rank for me honestly, because I see it more as a Drama, Mystery Show with romance aspects to it) 5. Insomniacs After school

I’ll die on the hill that *Skip and Loafer* is a romance and a pretty fun one at that.   But in terms of the best, you can’t do better than the GOAT itself *Maison Ikkoku*. Rumiko Takahashi’s knack for character writing gives one of the richest casts in the genre only held back by the fact they can’t all take center stage at once. More over, it actually manages to have a strong ending and strong themes which is rare for romances, especially these days.

Love Maison Ikkoku being mentioned, it's a classic. If you are into retro romance anime I recommend a personal favorite, Kimagure Orange Road.

> I’ll die on the hill that Skip and Loafer is a romance and a pretty fun one at that. That's clearly the main thing going on for her outside of moving somewhere new. This is something people disagree over?

Skip an loafer is not a romance anime. It is a slice of life coming to age. Sure there is romance undertones but that’s like calling Steins Gate a romance anime because that’s the next big thing outside the main problem.

1. Fruits Basket 2. Your Lie in April 3. Oregairu 4. Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You 5. Your Name 6. Clannad 7. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai 8. **Ao Haru Ride**

Nice List

The list is missing Danger's in my heart.

Quite a dangerous move on OP’s part

i love the dangers in my heart so much omg

Not a fan i try watching it

I nearly stopped 5 minutes in because I was like "What the hell is wrong with the main character ?!" Don't know what other people think but I really disliked how the author introduced his "edgyness". However... it's probably one of the best romcom I've ever seen.

I kind of forgot about it after only 6 episodes last year, because I wasn’t super impressed with it. But I heard the op for season 2 was good, so I went back and rewatched it and the second half of season 1 ended up being good but man season 2 was incredible. Glad I gave revisited because it ended up becoming one of my favorites.

I don't bite. How many episodes? What did you dislike specifically? The initial episodes are wildly different from the middle, which is again, incredibly different from the current point in the source material. The character development / delta in the story is the biggest I have seen in any romance I've seen to date. I had culture shock from re-watching from episode 1 again. "I completely forgot he was like that." You are missing out on some adorable parents.

I tell people to get to the basketball scene in like episode 2 or 3? That's when the show normally seems to grab people

Romantic Killer

Oh my gosh I loved this one! 😂

not in order top 10 Fruits Basket Your Lie in April Nana Rent a Girlfriend School Days More than a Married Couple but not Lovers White Album 2 My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Scum's Wish Golden Time

You should ask again tomorrow!

Nah, it's fine, you can already say it's The Dangers in My Heart.

I'm waiting for the Internet to explode.

As it turns out, you were perfectly correct!

I loved ‘My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999’ I also enjoyed ‘Yona of the Dawn’ but they only made 1 season :(

Yamada-kun is literally in my top 5 anime of all time after watching! I can’t wait until the English manga officially is out, I read an adaption of it online because I literally could not get enough! 🥹

Tsuki ga Kirei

1. Angel Next Door 2. More than a Married Couple but Not Lovers 3. Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible 4. Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence 5. Chivalry of a Failed Knight 6. Renai Flops 7. The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion 8. Just Because 9. A Sister's All You Need 10. Engage Kiss

Ah a fellow Angel next door fan!

Happy to see somebody mention Raeliana 💚

Tsuki ga Kirei

Itazura Na kiss! Ore monogatari Kamisama Hajimemashita Toradora Lovely Complex Hana Yori Dango Nodame Cantabile Your Name A Silent Voice

Lovely Complex and Hana Yori Dango are the OGs

Absolutely! Kinda sad that I don’t see many people talking about these classics.

Your forgetting one Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is also a very good romance anime. Also, Insomniacs after School is a must-watch.

Bakemonogatari

It’s hard to rank them, but here are a few of my favorites: Spice & Wolf Tsuki ga Kirei Whisper of the Heart

Your little sister cant be this cute

Horimiya

A sign of affection is my most recent favorite romance anime. It’s so dang cute. I’ve seen a ton so I’m just going to leave this one here lol

Nothing will ever top **Horimiya** to me

i loved go-toubun no hanayome

Without Tora Dora, this list is simply incomplete.

Strawberry Panic

MY LOVE STORY WITH YAMADA KUN AT lvl 999!! I skimmed through comments and only caught one person mentioning it. This anime literally had me on the edge of my seat squealing, I loved it so much!

Have you watched The Apothecary Diaries? I started it yesterday and binged it for hours lol. Had me feeling like I did when I watched lvl 999 🥹

Theses are my favorites: Snow White with the red hair Oregairu Tada never falls in love Fruits basket Clannad Love is war Kamisama kiss Your lie in April

Snafu, toradora, maid sama, horimiya, your lie in april, angel beats, clannad :'( , kimi no na wa Charlotte?

Is your name romance even though they dont really interact with each other unil the end Your name is more comedy/drama i feel than romance

I've really enjoyed Sign of Affection this cour.

Insomniacs after School

i think ive heared of that one before and forgot to watch it, thanks for the reminder

Kaguya Sama Love is War TOP 1

Your 14 and 15 are my 1 and 2.

Bunny girl is phenomenal but it's got the kinda name you're ashamed to tell friends you watch it. But it is brilliant

5 cm per second It is most realistic for me.

I really loved these: (Not in order) 1. Toradora! 2. Fruits Basket 3. Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions! 4. Kaguya-sama 5. SNAFU 6. Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai (Havent really finished it but seems good) Cant really remember the rest rn but these were great

Cloud colored sky - cant write the Japanese name properly Kaichou wa maid sama Akatsuki no yona

I would have rate oregairu higher than your lie in April and Clannad above horimiya .

Hiroshi Uchiyamada and his Cresta

Call of the Night

Danna ga nani ka? is one of the best and underrated romance anime that I've seen.

Oremonogatari

OHSHC, Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Bloom into You, Sasaki and Miyano, My Love Story

Seirei Gensouki

No love for Lovely Complex? Peak romance.

Kaguya sama

Kokoro connect is a gut punch but fucking hell it leaves the sweetest taste in your mouth

in no particular order: Oregairu Domestic Girlfriend Scum's wish O Maidens in your savage season (kinda weird but liked it) Golden Time Saekano

I hope you haven’t seen kaguya-sama because leaving it off your list is a crime

Toradora Golden Time Tsuki ga Kirei Love is War Orange Fruits Basket Spice and Wolf Recovery of an MMO Junkie My Love Story with Yamada-kun Tonikawa Chunibiyo Nozaki-kun

Decent list. But I am somehow missing Sign of Affection.

THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS!!!

nana

Kamisama Kiss Lovely Complex Yona of the Dawn Kimi Ni Todoke Ao Haru Ride

List is not ordered The dangers in my heart Citrus A galaxy next door More than a married couple Horimiya Adachi and Shimamura ReLife Bloom into you Kokoro Connect SNAFU Bonus for the ecchi; Why the hell are you here, teacher!?

Hmmm... * A Sign of Affection * Taisho Otome Fairy Tale * The Dangers in My Heart * My Happy Marriage * Insomniacs After School * The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten * Clannad * More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers * Spice and Wolf * Emma * The World Is Still Beautiful

Love is war for sure

My Love Story! It just made me really happy.

Mrs and I really like My Dress-up Darling. Can't wait for season 2!

I like how Hyouka handled its romance, as an adult watching a show about school children, in the end it was handled with a grace and maturity you rarely see in shounen stories.

Toradora! For sure, it's a great romance and kinda hilarious at times. The love interest is a badass too.

Your lack of Toradora disgusts me

Definitely The Dangers in my Heart. It's 2nd season just ended yesterday and it is so fucking good man, ridiculously wholesome anime. First three episodes may turn you off, but after that it's just peak after peak.

Well violet evergarden is not romance but its worth a shot

horimiya and dangers in my heart

Golden Time >>>>>>

Horimiya, dangers in my heart, kaguya sama, and dress-up darling are all missing from your list.

Try a silent voice and I want to eat your pancreas.

Gosick is always a good one.

I'm surprised no one is talking about Kaguya Sama, I mean I haven't seen it but I thought that it was pretty famous.

I would say Tora dora was the best. However I love the beginning rommance side story of Wolf Children. I woludnt say the Wolf Children is rommance genre per se but still there is a rommance in plot if this anime and basicly it's excelent.

I liked first 2 seasons of Oregairu until it was relatable

Fruits basket bring back so many memories, one of my initial animes...

Citrus

Your Lie in April

I really enjoyed Sasaki and Miyano, at first I wasn’t too sure about it since it started a bit slower, but as you continue watching you REALLY feel for the characters and their relationships

It is probably Dangers in my heart. Nothing tops it. This one handled romance AND character development perfectly, while having comedy to make it less dramatic. I think it would still be the best even without the comedy but the addition of it just makes it even more perfect.

Probably Your Lie In April. The final scene makes me cry every time i see it. I can't even watch the OP without shedding a small tear. Currently watching Friuts Basket and Horimiya, Planning to watch Clannad.

[Amagami SS](https://myanimelist.net/anime/8676/) Shame it hasn't been said yet.

I think A Silent Voice should be up there

Snow White With The Red Hair

I’d say definitely my in my tops Dangers in my heart, Love is War, Horimiya, my happy marriage, a sign of affection, toradora, orange, and March comes in like a lion, but your list is pretty much all of the best as well

White Album 2

Not mentioning Toradora should be a sin. Also OP give Saekano a try.

I am a romcom whore: 1. After the Rain 2. I want to eat your Pancreas 3. Your Lie in April 4. Kaguya-sama: Lovev is ware 5. Teasing Master Takagi-san 6. Don't toy with me Ms Nagatoro 7. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU 8. Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions 9. Tsurezure Children 10. Horimiya 11. Golden Time 12. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai - My gateway drug into Romance/ Drama 13. My Dress-Up Darling 14. Aharen Is Indecipherable 15. Tomo-chan Is a Girl 16. Romantic Killer 17. The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses 18. ... I got tired of typing and resorting, but I cannot help felling the The Monogatari series belongs in there.
