What the title says. Looking for a romance anime/manga that's not about kids or stupid like this genre can be.

Adult as in mature as in emotionally mature, just tired of kids tryna figure their shit out. I like the romantic themes in berserk/cowboy bebop, and maybe even some in evangelion.
Adults tryna fit love into their already lived life rather than fit into high school clubs or some shit.
Idk I might be reaching but if anyone has any ideas that'd fit the bill that'd be swell.

Do your worst.

edit: I don't necessarily mind it being about adolecents or people figuring their shit out - as long as it's good. yet if the characters are adult that's a plus.

ay thanks, that's a start. kinda tired of the high school thing but I really liked a silent voice and ano hana so I guess anything that has genuine good writing would do it.

Dunno if this what you are looking for but here is a quick summary. A guy that works in an office for making comercials gets stud up on a date and after waiting for long he meets a girl who he later finds out is a voice actor. (The guy is 26 years old an the girl is 20)

I totally loved them.

None of these have high school students as MCs. Some are young (like below 20) but since they're in a fantasy world, they're already working/fighting for something or at least at a marriageable age in their world.
-Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn
-Akagami no Shirayuki-hime/Snow White with the Red Hair
-Code:Realize - Sousei no Himegimi/Code:Realize Guardian of Rebirth
-Darling in the Franxx
-Devils Line
-Golden Time - university students but a bit more mature than high school romance
-Kamisama Hajimemashita/Kamisama Kiss - FMC is a high school student and her school is sometimes featured in the anime, but it mainly focuses on her adventures or outside school activities; the MCs relationship can be a bit immature at times but...

-Koi to Producer: EVOL×LOVE/Mr Love: Queen's Choice
-Grancrest Senki/Record of Grancrest War
-Hakushaku to Yousei Earl and Fairy
-Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen/Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World
-Ookami to Koushinryou/Spice and Wolf
-Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita./Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It - university students but it's not the usual school romance
-Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii/The World is Still Beautiful

Haven't seen but plan to watch these adult romances:
-Arakawa Under the Bridge
-Arte
-Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken/I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying
-Fune wo Amu/The Great Passage
-Maoyuu Maou Yuusha/Maoyu ~ Archenemy & Hero
-Natsuyuki Rendezvous
-Nodame Cantabile
-Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san/The Helpful Fox Senko-san

Bonus:
-Btooom! (Seinen) - action with slight romance towards the end
