| Mizuiro Jidai Aishiteruze Baby Glass Mask Hana Yori Dango Mamalade Boy And even though it's not a "no magic" shoujo, you definitely should give Full Moon wo Sagashite a try. |
  |
| Full Moon wo Sagashite :) |
 |
| Depends on what you mean by romance... can you be a little more specific? (Ex: Do you like drama, feel good stuff, cliche stuff, slow moving or fast moving, characters face obstacles before a relationship or after a relationshiop, etc) |
| Marmalade Boy, Bokura ga Ita, Hana Yori Dango... and a couple of non-shoujo but good romances- Maison Ikkoku, Victorian Romance Emma (1 & 2) |
| Like Shoujo? Visit: Emily's Random Shoujo Manga Page |
| Chobits xD. |
| I second Bokura ga Ita and Victorian Romance Emma Also Ai Yori Aoshi, Lamune and Peach Girl For series that have good romance but also a lot of other plot devices, you might want to try Nodame Cantabile - music + romance Saiunkoku Monogatari - political + romance Gakuen Alice - romance is a bit vague..but since you like Kodocha.... |
 |
| I think the best romance anime is Maison Ikkoku. Other great anime are School Rumble and Kare Kano |
| Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien ... although it isn't shoujo. Shoujo romance... yeah, the ones I can think of are like Hana Yori Dango, Kare Kano, Marmalade Boy, Aishiteruze Baby, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, Ultra Maniac, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Ayashi no Ceres, Fushi Yuugi, Kin`iro no Chord: Primo Passo, Haruka Naru Toki no Naka de: Hachiyoushou and while the anime unfortunately has a bit of a transforming girl element, watching Full Moon wo Sagashite is definately recommended. |
| A lot of the ones listed are really good recommendations - I'd also add: Honey & Clover I & II NANA |
| Of what I've seen so far, I'd definately second Honey & Clover, School Rumble (Which has a greater focus on the comedy, but it develops its romance remarkably), and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. And I'd add to the list 5 Centimeters Per Second. Edit: It's true. I like my top ten anime a little too much :( |

asandari said: Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY TIME YOU SAID THAT. It's good though, for sure. It makes me sad Lamune has only been mentioned once. Lamune is probably my favorite series of the genre. |

| Okay. so if you liked kodocha, i'd defenitely reccomend marmalade boy. Kodocha is like the cracked out version of marmalade boy. though MB has a lot of drama and such. other ones i'd second/reccomend - honey and clover : probably one of the best romances ive watched (besides marmalade boy) - kareshi kanojo no jiyou - bokura ga ita (very good) - full moon wo sagashite (also good, but has some magic) - Peach girl - la corda d'oro - paradise kiss - hana yori dango |
| Hmm... well my first romance anime was Kanon. I think you would also like CLANNAD and maybe Air too. |
 |
| I's Pure |
 |
| Kimi ga Nozomu Eien :D |
 |
| Yokohama Kidaishi Kikou any of the Makoto Shinkai movies(5cm per Second, Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days) Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora Most of the others I could think of have already been suggested. Bokura ga Ita was pretty popular, I think, although I didn't much care for it. |

| i recommend Saiunkoku Monogatari |
******** it's always your own ass you sit on, your own ass! |
| I also recommend one of Makoto Shinkai's movies/OVAs, and Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is also very good (saw it this sunday). |
Help this cat on his quest for World Domination!
| I'd recommend the following: -Ghost Hunt ( hmm not really romantic at all but try reading between the lines and you'll find yourself wishing they were a couple) -Chobits (it's really good..i mean in my opinion) -Ah! My Goddess -La Corda d' Oro -Ouran High School Host Club (not plain romantic but romance+comedy) *hmm can't think of anything else at the moment..:D |
 |
| Kanon, Honey and Clover, bokura ga ita, AIR, Nana... theres also Ouran Highschool Host Club and Fruits basket but you wont see that much romance in the anime (there is SOME but not much...) The manga's however continue the story where the anime stops and you can see a Lot more romance as the story progresses... i wonder why the good parts arent produced in anime!!! both anime need a second season... its too late for fruits basket but ouran still has a chance for a second season!!! oops sorry! to the point... Kanon, Honey and Clover, bokura ga ita, AIR, Nana, Ouran Highschool Host Club and Fruits basket. Also Gakuen Alice is similar to Kodocha :P but very little romantic parts. |
     |
| Surprised noone has mentioned REC. It's short but definitely worth watching. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| You should definitely watch Aishiteruze Baby and Suzuka. They were both definitely good romance animes. |
 |
| Oh! And His and Her Circumstances. That was hilarious and romantic. |
| |
| Hrmm... I tried to find some series not mentioned yet... Hopefully I'm not being to repetitive by adding a few of my suggestions, too. :P Check a little info about each series here on MAL or animenewsnetwork. D.N.Angel - Fantasy/Magic series Da Capo - School Life, Fantasy series DearS - Fantasy series Ichigo 100% - School Life Series Magic Knights Rayearth - Adventure, Magic Series Mahoromatic - Rather "magical"/fantastic series Midori no Hibi - "Supernatural," Daily/School Life series Please Twins - Drama?, School Life series Saikano - Drama, Tragedy? series Shuffle! - Comedy, Supernatural series This Ugly Yet Beautiful World - Mix of Comedy and Drama, Supernatural/Sci-fi series To Heart - School Life series Zero no Tsukaima - Adventure, Magic series |
| Many of the romance shows I would recommend have been mentioned but I'll toss out what I remember enjoying: Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Peach Girl NANA Paradise Kiss SaiKano Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora Chobits REC Lamune Onegai Teacher Onegai Twins School Days Suzuka Tokimeki Memorial Victorian Romance Emma Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na Bokura ga Ita Honey & Clover Koi Kaze (may not be for everyone) |
| I'm surprised I didn't mention REC o.o (Or I's Pure for that matter...) |
| Um... You could try Ayashi no Ceres and Fushigi Yuugi |
Smile, you look way better that way!! ^_^  |
| Strawberry panic! Kawaii |
 |
| I recommend Ai Yori Aoshi ^^ |
     |
| For serious romance: - Emma: A Victorian Romance - Fushigi Yugi - Koi Kaze (incest warning) For serious yet cute/funny: - Bokura ga Ita - Peach Girl - Chobits - Full Moon O Sagashite - Shuffle! |
 |
| Pride and Prejudice Oh wait, that's not an anime. Fuck it. It beats the tits out of any "romance" anime that's out there today. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| Try Tokyo Marble Chocolate. It's only a 2 episode OVA, but it's really cute. You can also try Kimikiss. It's still ongoing, but I guarantee you that's it good. I'm really addicted to it. |
| ^_^ |
| Like the past people already said, defiantly should try Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. I am a romance lover as well and i loved KGNE so you might wanna give it a try. |
 |
| I liked Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora and REC. Both are really quick but entertaining and heart-warming watches. |
| i bet someones already said this but kimi ga nozomu eien lol... |
| Please go with To Heart, True Tears and like other said Kimi ga nozomu Eien. There is going to have a 2nd episode of that OAV ) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| I second (or third whatever) Kimi ga Nozomu Eien...one of the best drama/romance.. Also Memories Off... |
     Join the Kyonko Fanclub Today! | Join the MAL Tenjou Tenge Fanclub Today! |
| i think my favorite romance anime overall is Bokura Ga Ita.. ive seen practically every anime title recommended in this forum. Take my word for it and watch Bokura Ga Ita. :) |
Ah! My Goddess and Chobits are both good Romance animes |
 |
| they already mentioned what's in my mind.. that's a good thing.. LOL Bokura ga Ita Kimikiss ~pure rouge~ I''s Pure Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora Rec Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Haney and Clover I & II Onegai Teacher Onegai Twins Midori no Hibi Chobits there you go.. |
     |
| I definitely storngly recommend the anime clannad |
 |
| If you like Lovely Complex, you'll probably like Nodame Cantabile...it's a romcom and great if you like music. Other recommendations: NANA Saiunkoku Monagatari S1 and S2(which is still airing/being subbed) Chobits-->adorable romance Paradise Kiss Marmalade Boy-->drama romance Hana-Kimi (manga) I don't think there's an anime made for this, but they do have the live action drama. If you like Nodame Cantabile, I'd recommend watching the live action drama version (verry funny!) Ouran High School Host Club is a good shoujo comedy. Tsubasa Chronicles is a good feel good romance anime. Heroic Age-->one of my favorites La Corda D'Oro is romantic in a sense of feeling Peach Girl-->another shoujo favorite Special A Vampire Knight |
