Hi!
I would love to find a new anime with a "bad boy" romance.
I don't really like harem, yaoi or yuri animes (please no anime with incest...) and the characters have to be over 15, the best age would be around 16-20.
I would like the anime to have a bad boy (good looking) falling for a (good) girl and that they actually end up together, end game. If it's possible a cute anime that makes me laugh.
I've seen:
Maid-sama (loved it, OTP!!)
Special A (OMG this anime...<3)
Lovely complex (okay anime but no bad boy...)
The wallflower/yamato nadeshiko shishi henge (enjoyed it but it didn't end with a clear love interest)
Kamisama hajimemashita (loved it)

So a cute anime with a bad boy (like Usui, kei or tomoe) that falls in love with a good girl.
I would love if the boy falls in love first like Usui or Kei and if the anime has a lot with cute scenes and good animation.

I would really appreciate if you could recommend something:)
And it would be lovely if you could write a short synopsis, just a few words.

Have a great day!
(Sorry for my bad english)

The only one I can think of is Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun...
It takes place in high school, the male MC is someone who is generally perceived as scary and he is the first to fall in love with the female MC. Oh, and there are plenty of cute and funny scenes. So far, I think that's exactly what you want =)
However, I've only read the manga, so I can't say anything about the animation, or where the anime ended. In the manga,

Since I don't know too many romance anime that fit exactly the bad boy stereotype here are some anime with MC that are over 15 and who are either badasses, have an ounce of bad boy in them or anything like that.
Bokura ga ita but it's a drama so it doesn't really has much comedy... maybe a scene or two.
Full Metal Panic might be on your tastes but that depends if you're into army and mecha stuff. since the MC is a soldier, I guarantee comedy in the first 2 seasons.
Higashi no Eden ... this is a quite different anime search it up on MAL since I laughed my ass off on this and the dude is quite a...free spirit. Plenty of drama and action.
I think you might want to try NANA too... since the characters are more mature but it doesn't have all that comedy, but I think you know that, Nana is quite popular.
Zetsuen no Tempest is quite good too... not exactly bad boys but they're getting there... plus it has a lot of Shakespeare references
Code: Breaker

Skip Beat! Honestly I don't know how the anime is since I've read the manga, but it's great
Kare Kano. And oldie but so awesome. I always laugh when I watch it.

Special mention:
I didn't add this because you had that age over 16 barrier.
Kodomo no omocha. This has a bad boy and a girl who tries to change him, it literally follows their story since they're 12 to middle school and to high school. It might seem weird at first but I grew to love this series soo much... plus it has comedy like a lot of it. And the manga is even better.

Somehow I feel like I've read a lot about this setting in shoujo manga, but not in anime... :S
(but my memory is weak)

Only anime that come to mind are Midori no Hibi and Kodomo no Omocha (but they are kids).

I also remember one story where the girl gets kidnapped by a rival gang because of her relationship with the bad boy. But I can't remember the name of it, nor even say if it was manga or anime...

Inuyasha is a great one!! I don't know if you've seen it, but Kagome Higurashi falls down a well into the past and meet this Bad boy half demon named Inuyasha..I know you said not around the age fifteen and the show starts off on Kagomes 15th birthday, but by the end of the series she's 17-18 years old! It's my all time favorite anime. It's got love, fantasy and action!!!

You should definitely check out 'Suki-tte Ii Na Yo'.

I'm not sure if you'd call him a bad boy, but he's good looking and he's those popular kinds that every girl likes. Stuff like that. And the female character is a good girl :D

It'll take a couple episodes to get good but Kodomo no Omocha is definitely worth it.

Sana Kurata is a cheerful, popular and energetic 11-year-old child actress who enrolls in a regular school only to find out there is chaos in the classroom, led mainly by an aloof boy named Akito Hayama. At first, the two come in conflict with each other because of their opposing ideals, but as they get to know each other, they start helping each other out in Akito's family life and Sana's career, as well as helping their classmates and peers.

omg how has nobody recommended Hana Yori Dango???

If you want an asshole in a romance, PLEASE listen to me. You NEED to see this anime! The Tsukasa or whatever dude is ... so angry lmao. Such a jerk. But you will end up adoring him, if you're at all like me.

It's a long anime, and it's been called a "classic" by many. I'm one of those many.

It's also known as "Boys Over Flowers" iirc?

But yeah dude, it may be an older anime, but give it a couple episodes. I am telling you, and I swear to you, if you're truly looking for a "bad boy" main interest in a romance/drama anime, this is the one for you.

I noticed this topic is old, but damn it, this had to be said. Hope the OP sees this recommendation. Alas!

Hey guys i am anime freak and i know a i't about anime i watch about ten new anime series a day, if you don't think that is amazing than nothing is. Well, lets get down to business the best bad boy anime has got to be (honey x honey), but its a little adult like and so you shouldn't watch it if you are to young but its amazing ti like screams bad boy.

Also, another anime that is all bad boy is ( Maid-Sama ) i know you would love it because not only is it age appropriate its funny and it has romance don't you think that's the best a romance comedy that is so amazing. You would love it make sure to watch it for me tee-hee =).


And to finish off the best anime bad boy to watch is (Inuyasha). Its so amazing the first time i watched it was in netflix and i don't want to spoil it so than i would just tell you its like maid-sama but in like a past tense anime type it looks different in so many ways , also to conclude on this piece i love inuyasha and i'm sure all of you would start to like it to if you watch it make sure you do.

In conclusion, this shows that there are a lot of bad boy anime's but these 3 really stand out and i positively know that you are going to like it IF YOU READ THIS.

Don't you ever get that feeling when your watching anime or picking the anime you want to watch that there is something missing and that this anime is not reaching out to you with open arms, people have different kinds of type's of anime's they like for me for instance i lie anime with fantasy, romance, and comedy but even if the anime has that i feel something empty in my brain when i watch it, well its hard to convey in words or in type well i hope you watch this anime's and let it speak to your hard bye bye tee-hee =).

Assuming the average anime is 9 episodes, which is generously undercutting it, & each episode is 20 minutes, that'd be a solid 3 hours per anime, ignoring time finding and switching between anime, eating, bathroom breaks, and the like - let alone work or school. & then there's sleep.

Multiply 3 by 10 & you get 30. There are only 24 hours in a day. Basic mathematics says you just might be exaggerating.

In any case, I don't really think consuming large amounts of noneducational media is a brag-worthy conquest. But maybe that's just me. Subjective opinions, regardless. (I'm assuming it may well be an unpopular opinion, even, given the current audience. Oh well.)




Btw OP, let us know if you need any more suggestions. I do have more, but getting feedback re: your take on the anime already recommended to you would help greatly.

My Little Monster is a good one. It is a bad boy and good girl kind of relationship.
Blue Spring ride is another good one. It's a good girl and not necessarily bad boy, but he's pretty dope.
I don't really remember the plot of these stories since I watched them a long time ago. But, I do remember that I absolutely loved these animes and I had a good time binge watching them. I'm pretty sure you've seen these because you posted this a while ago and I'm pretty late. So, I hope I at least gave you a little help. If you don't mind reverse harem, there are really good bad boy good girl ones that've watched. For example, Brother's Conflict, Diabolik lovers season 1 and 2, Amnesia, and Dance with Devils. Those are mostly all bad boy good girl, but they aren't necessarily school plotted. Hyouka is another good anime. It's a good girl, but more of a dumb boy. That's all I can remember right now. AND LASTLY, Wolf girl and black prince literally remind me of Kaichou Wa Maid Sama so I think that one is the best one out of my recommendations. Thank you!

The ending will most likely be a harem from the few episodes I watched so far, but if you're really into bad boys, then Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism
