PrudenceRay said: I am in my late 20s. I used to watch anime 10 years or so ago. I mostly watched shoujo romance comedy and shoujo romance. I want to get back into anime and manga as a hobby or pastime but I have grown up so what I liked back then doesn't appeal to me anymore. So, stuff based on my watched anime list, doesn't exactly work. Technically, I should look for josei titles. But I feel josei is a small minority in the world of Japanese animation and comic books. I have tried a few but they didn't appeal to me. I like romance, rom com. And I like happy endings. But I am open to any genre if the anime is good, interesting, well made, has good characters. I don't like rapey, non consensual stuff. I have read this josei manga called hapi Mari. It had high reviews and ratings. But I was disappointed. I saw sekaiichi Hatskoi. I hated the rapey, violent stuff being sold as romance and a 100 other things. But I skimmed through that stuff to see the inner workings of the manga industry. The characters were office goers and setting was working class adults, so that was relatable. I wonder if there are any good titles out there for me. If there are, please direct me to it. Thank you. yeah josei its rare but maybe i will give you some series that have female mc Anime https://myanimelist.net/anime/35839/Sora_yori_mo_Tooi_Basho https://myanimelist.net/anime/33352/Violet_Evergarden https://myanimelist.net/anime/27989/Hibike_Euphonium https://myanimelist.net/anime/9289/Hanasaku_Iroha https://myanimelist.net/anime/25835/Shirobako Manga https://myanimelist.net/manga/100128/Yakusoku_no_Neverland https://myanimelist.net/manga/112115/Act-age |

| I know what you mean, that's exactly what happened when I started to get back into anime a few years ago. It might take some time to find the stuff you really like but theres a lot more anime aimed at adults than there first seems. I'll give it a shot though. Aggretsuko is great and has gained a reputation for having an older fanbase. It's extremely relatable and becomes more romance/relationship driven as it goes on. Wolf children is not a romance but I still really think you should give it a watch, it's a beautiful movie that I think you might like. Have you ever seen cowboy bebop? It's definitely not a romance but if you're in the mood for something grittier it has an excellent adult cast with complex relationships. I agree that madoka magica is a great option as well. I've also been watching the lovers suicide by rakugo lately and its easily one of the best adult oriented dramas I've seen in anime. Romance is not the most important element but its definitely there. Fair warning first episode is a little slow. I think these would be a good place to start. They're all really high quality and accessible, and if you like any of these people will have a much easier time recommending you stuff. |
