I think Love Story with Yamada at Lv999 for this season is a pretty good romcom, for all time my favorite probably goes to Horimiya or Maid Sama

Older romcoms? I'd warmly recommend Kodocha and Kare Kano, but I'm not sure if they count as romcoms since they also have drama.

Acchi Kocchi is apparently a romcom. I'd say it has a much heavier focus on comedy than romance.

My favorites romance in general, not just romcom are My Dress Up Darling, Cross Game, Toradora, Tonikaku Kawaii, and recently I really like Rec.
I personally leaning toward romance/slice of life with a bit of drama/comedy.

At bare minimum without actually dropping any names the best Romcoms are the ones that are actually funny to watch. I don't mean you need to be laughing your ass off the entire time watching, but if a Romcom can't even keep you quietly chuckling the majority of the time it automatically fails on a fundamental level of being tagged as a Romcom. I don't even care if the romance in it is lame or there is no actual meaningful character development between potential love interests. If a Romcom can't even make someone laugh it's just a lame romance drama filled with comedy that isn't funny.

The best anime romcom is School Rumble, hands down. Most of the shows mentioned above are not romcoms -- which by the way stands for romance comedy. What part of March Comes Like A Lion is funny to anyone? What part of Clannad, Welcome to the NHK, Little Busters, Honey and Clover, Ao Haru Ride, Spice and Wolf, etc., are comedic? Hell, some of these, like March and NHK, aren't even romances.

  • Kamisama Hajimemashita is the best I've watched
  • Blend S is the funniest, but romance isn't as pronounced/important as comedy
  • Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji is the unhinged romantic comedy for seasoned watchers

rent a gf (of course)
nisekoi

Taishou Otome Otogibanashi

i watch a lot of romcoms but these were special.

Boku no kokoro is probably my favourite anime romcom so far. karekano would be my favorite if it stopped on ep 18. Chunibiyo, Midori nohibi, My dress up darling and Clannad (if it counts as one) are up there.

I'm not a fan of rom-coms. The overwhelming majority of romance works that I enjoy are serious and mixed with drama, especially with regard to the treatment of the romance element. That said, probably my favorite "Rom-Coms" are the ones that would be controversial to classify, and that I see a lot of people differing about the classification. NHK ni Youkoso! would be my favorite, while Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny-Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai would be my second, precisely because they are works that treat this and other themes with great seriousness, mixing them with messages and psychological reflections, and are much more embedded in drama than comedy. ReLIFE would complete the podium, taking advantage of what some have already mentioned above.

However, if I were asked to choose a Rom-Com only among those with a dominant comedy presence, I would probably go between Nisekoi and Urusei Yatsura (2022). They are not amazing or phenomenal works, but among the combination of genres, they are the ones that worked the most for me.

We should immediately inform the worldwide fans of Maison Ikkoku that their beloved seinen romcom , which has over 25 million collected volumes in circulation , is actually  made for" the young and stupid minds" because a weeb on MAL said so.

Yeah, seinen and romcom don't go together, it's a terrible combo.
Not gonna lie tho, have never watched that anime because it''s so old that its art puts me off

first search result of "maison ikokku + funny":



Are you sure this is a seinen? Do you really laugh to shit like this? are you 13?


Dumb and childish humor that reminded me of dragon ball.
