Hello, I would like some romance anime recomendation, that doesn´t have any fantasy in it.
I watched animes like Clannad and I loved it a lot, one of my favorites,actually.
But I would like to watch something different.
Something similar to Honey Lemon Soda,Itazura Na Kiss or Lovely Complex. I tried Kaichou wa maid sama but it didn´t work, so if you can recommend me other it would be great.
It can be high school anime or adult romance as well,I don´t mind.
I´m really enjoying Kusuriya ni Hitorigoto,for example.
It can be about this modern era or for example a setting similar to Kusuriya as well,I don´t mind.
But it must have a happy ending.
And the main couple should be clear from the start.

I highly recommend Kimi ni Todoke! Honey Lemon Soda reminds me of this. There are 3 seasons.

Also recommending:
- Yubisaki to Renren
- Ore Monogatari!

While the romance in this one is subtle and it only has two episodes I think you might like it since it's a mystery like Kusuriya and has a different feeling https://myanimelist.net/anime/5177/Denpa-teki_na_Kanojo

@JoeChip Thank you again!
@M2zC I must say that are big lists but most of them have fantasy in them or are harem romance series, I was asking about animes with a main couple and happy ending , without fantasy. However, in that lists I saw Wotakoi, that fits, thank you
@mo_lave That animes are definitly in my list.Thank you,again.

@Mione48

The lists are for happy endings, so all genres are included. Just skip the fantasy or harem anime, when looking through them.

If you click the seasonal view button on the lists (https://myanimelist.net/stacks/42455?view_style=seasonal), you can see the genre tags for each anime, which will show if its listed as fantasy. If there are multiple girls on the cover it could be a harem. Look for the harem tag under themes, when you open a show mal page. The 3rd list has no harem included, so just pick out the ones without a fantasy genre tag. The 4th list, mostly has a main couple.

From the first list, with a main couple. No fantasy or harem.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/41221/Liang_Bu_Yi (similar setting to Kusuriya..., one of the best romance donghua) (very little fantasy.. the body swap is about the only magic you see)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/37999/Kaguya-sama_wa_Kokurasetai__Tensai-tachi_no_Renai_Zunousen (leans heavily into the comedy side of romcom)

I haven't seen any anime that you have mentioned so forgive me if my recommendation is a bit off.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/694/Canvas_2__Nijiiro_no_Sketch it's a love triangle so happy ending depends on who you are rooting for, it was happy ending for me. Story revolves around an art teacher.

@Rorertiy I watched it years ago!! and yes, I love it, is one of my favorites, I watched many live action adaptations!!

@LoveYourSmile Thank you, I don´t mind watching yuri at all, in fact, I watched some yuri animes, yaoi as well.
Spice and Wolf, I tried watching the first anime,years ago, but sadly I was bored of it. Maybe I will like the reboot better, I hope.
Oh now I´m interested in Night is short, walk on Girl!
Currently I´m watching My happy marriage, I know it has fantasy but couldn´t help it. I´m enjoying it so much!
@Huskyhulk Interesting recommendations, thank you!
@Khashishi I guess that anime you mentioned first might be similar to My happy marriage? Sounds like it! if it is like that, I also like it.
I will search for it,I hope I can find it, I never watched an anime with chinese title.
