A list of Rom-com animes. This list include also some animes with serious romance + some comedy focused animes + some drama but not a heavy one.

I wrote a note in every anime I've watched.

Check the other rom-com stacks for more recommendations.

You know damn well what this is about.

If you crave some light-hearted, sweet, heartfelt romance anime at the moment! Contains little to none drama between the two main characters. This list includes no sequels or side stories.

Where siblings, cousins, or those of close relations have romantic thoughts about one another, whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing. Either way, it's a type of love story some may enjoy.

Shounen, Seinen, and other romance anime that's aimed at a male audience:

(I am only putting the first season here and I will specify if there are more seasons/spinoffs)

Big dose of laid-back Romance animes with Wholesome romance, and without any Love-triangle, Missunderstanding, and rival girl. (If there is any rival they clear up fast.)

Occasional teasing shows included!

Its all the sugary-fluffy love stories you need.

***One exception under the "the rivals clear up fast" is [Kimi Ni Todoke]. There the first season second half is full-on rivalry, but its worth the watch because the love earned in the end***

Romance anime that are set in the (kinda) real world, adapted from light novels. No GL, BL or for-female titles (sorry)

Romance Anime 2020-2023 and upcoming romance anime in 2024.
Not all romance anime from the 2020's, but the most notable one's for me.
This list also includes romantic subtext anime.
Mainly includes school romance anime.
