Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara

This list contains popular romance anime targeted for female audience that is set in current real world setting, so no fantasy/historical world setting :) so it mostly contains school theme or workplace theme! Some of them may have supernatural-ish element, but if it's still set in real world, it's still in the list.

Also, please mind that not all of the anime in this list is tagged with shoujo demography. So if a romance anime that doesn't have shoujo tag is popular in the female audience, I'll add it here.

So if you're curious "what kind of romance anime that majority of female audience watch and/or love?", this list might be helpful for you!

Note:
* No BL/GL
* No hentai/erotica
* This list doesn't include sequels or spin-offs

standalone anime that doesn't have sequel/prequel.
