Title. I don't really like gag comedy, nor I'm looking for a fantasious anime. I would like to watch a show that's realistic and focused on human interaction. Kind of like Tsuki ga Kirei, but better. If it helps, my favorite shows are: ReLIFE, Imouto Sae Ireba Ii, Odd Taxi, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Nazo no Kanojo X, Saya no Uta and You and Me and Her: A Love Story

Thank you.

Not sure what you mean by "mature school romance", but I sort of liked Bloom into You and can recommend it as a "school romance".

This anime actually seems pretty good, and I had never heard about it before. Thank you for the recommendation.

Suki tte Ii na yo
Ao Haru Ride
Harmonie -- Very short but has a couple of riveting scenes.
Paradise Kiss
Nana -- This & ParaKiss are by the same mangaka. Nana is quite a bit longer and meatier but does drag a bit in the middle (my experience). Note: post HS. Pretty good human interaction.
Golden Time -- Some gag humor in the first few episodes but it steadily develops a more serious tone. Also it's college not HS. Last two thirds has pretty good human interaction I thought.

@mo_lave A Silent Voice is more of a drama that handles subjects of bullying and adapting with a developmental issue. Romance is an implied subtext. Say I love you is a great rec though.

Bumping this thread. I'm really out of animes to watch and I'm still on the mood to see anime like the ones I descbried on the OP.

If it helps, I'm enjoying this season's Ao no Hako (Blue Box).
