Toradora is definitely the best romance, don't argue with that!
Spice and Wolf
Welcome to NHK - wich actually romance is not really its main focus.
Chuunibyou - for something close to Toradora (still pretty different and inferior)
You wont find anything better than Toradora or Spice and Wolf when it comes to romance.

I love threads where the OP obviously wants shoujo and a bunch of dudes come in without even properly reading the post and just start reccing seinen and shounen.

Tormented, have you ever tried looking at the OP's likes and then looking at their GENDER?

The stuff you suggested is seinen/shounen. Pretty much everything she mentioned is SHOUJO. Baptiser's recs are good, although I must say based on what she liked she might find Nodame a bit slow because I'm guessing she's in her teens and Nodame and Clover are both for older girls.


No no no NO to all of IntervisioN's recs. Once again, all seinen/shounen.

Don't watch Yosuga no Sora.

OP- Try Kamisama Kiss. It's similar to the ones you mentioned and is cute and frivilous shoujo fun.

It's a little older, but you may also enjoy Fushigi Yugi. Reverse harem fantasy similar in a sense to Vampire Knight.

Ayashi no Ceres would probably also interest you.

Kimi ni Todoke has absolutely lovely art. It's a little slower than the stuff you seem to like but you still may enjoy it just because the art is so lovely.

Paradise Kiss, by the same author as Nana, may interest you.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/1562/Yamato_Nadeshiko_Shichi_Henge may also be of interest to you. Reverse-harem-ish.

Since you have a like for reverse harem, you could give Ouran Koukou Host Club a shot.

You might want to take another look at her post. Also she's probably like 14-16 and Mirai Nikki is in your favorites which is notorious for having absolutely awful writing.

I doubt Vampire Knight is any worse than Mirai Nikki or SAO or whatever is popular among boys. It just so happens that this site is MOSTLY boys so Vampire Knight gets a lot of hate. Were this site populated by mostly females I'm sure it would be the opposite.

Also, read her post. Ouran Host Club is already there.

Less on the romance (still there though) - but high on the bishounen count:

http://myanimelist.net/anime/957/Saiunkoku_Monogatari

Might be too old? Escaflowne.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/182/Escaflowne

Character designs do take a bit of getting used to, however I've always liked this love triangle (plus does have actually a fairly decent meld of other genres - mecha, fantasy what have you).

Also bit out of your request guidelines because it is shounen-ai but thought it was very similar to Vampire Knight in not story but looks/feel. It is extremely light on the shounen-ai and consequently doesn't even have much of that sort of romance (but what it does have is a lot of bishounen staring angstily at each other).

Didn't notice that, anyhow, i'm not talking about wich one os better, just as School Days is my personal favorite anime, i do recognize it has a lot of flaws, and far away from being the "Best".

Regardless, i think Bokura Ga Ita should fit.

The Elite Romance series are:
Clannad, Clannad After Story
Itazura na Kiss
Kare Kano
Bokura ga Ita
Sukitte no Ii na yo(speaking for the romance part its self,the MCs are the weakest in this elite list)
Aishiteruze Baby(by looking at the cover,no It's NOT a lolicon)



The Great Romance series are:
True Tears
Tonari no Kaibutsu

OreShura
Nogizaka Haruka (Barely made this list.)
Mashiroiro Symphony
Lamune
Fushigi Yuugi

The 1s I list have romance as a main genre and the story revolves around the romance.

The next list have romance has a sub-genre but still has great romance in it.

Chrno Crusade
Chrome Shelled Regios
Cross Game
Dear Boys

It hasn't been mentioned yet. Its one of my favourites. Lovely Complex. Its funny, has great character development, a satisfying ending with enough twists and turns that its not hollywood and romance is a pretty core theme. The Japanese name for the Wallflower was mentioned recently. Its similar to Ouran in its set up, its painful in its constant exaggaration and not as good as Ouran high school host club in a lot of ways but it is absolutely hilarious. Also if you haven't read the manga for Ouran you should do that. it finishes the story. the manhua for half prince is also a possibility if you don't mind gender-bender, hilarious writing from the perspective of the main female character "bishie" its not finished though :p there's been some comment on gender so far in this post but I'm a girl and I think Tora Dora is absolutely amazing. It has a male main character but it's very romantic and has great characters. The manga for fruits basket I've been lead to believe is much better than the anime the anime sets up two love interests but doesn't decide between them whereas the manga has closure. Okay I guess that'll do but I am a comedy-romance fan so if any of these are ones you like but have already watched check out my anime list and more comedy-romances will probably be at the top of the list. cheers.

Tell me about it! I don't know why guys are attacking this poor gal just because she has tastes that a girl would naturally have. I also really liked VK and not just for the romance (which was cute and sad) but also for the whole mystery in the plot. If you have different tastes then don't go attacking that of others. To each their own.
My recommendation to you loiza would be Skip Beat. The anime is hilarious and sweet and the manga is such an awesome shoujo read!

As for Manga you can try Skip Beat!, The one and My Brother is the devil, and my boyfriend is a Vampire.

Other animes would be: Skip Beat!, Suzuka, Itazura na kiss, Mirai Nikki (this one is creepy a bit), Clannad, Kanon, Nana, Paradise Kiss, Wallflower, School Days,Marmalade Boy, Wolf's Rain.

Hana Yori Dango is the best. Also addresses economic status and bullying.
Nodame and Honey and Clover are tops, but also deal with things outside of pure romance.

imo, Vampire Knight blows chunks. i do not know how i made it through that show.
lovely complex is "fine" - perfectly harmless/boring

i don't watch much romance so just giving opinion on the ones i've seen

BASED OFF YOUR OPENING POST!!!!

You did not say shoujo only.

So...

Some of the best romance anime have already been mentioned.

An anime I found with a good story romance and a love triangle is Macross Frontier. The art is good and it has a brilliant soundtrack.

It is a mecha/sci-fi though so bear that in mind.

Hmm.. from your posts I'd also recommend you finish off Bakuman as I can see your currently watching it. It is a brilliant anime. A love triangle doesnt really occur but the romance is constant throughout but staggered.

Dafuq. Half of the recommendations are not romances or have only a microscopic romance subplot. Anyone who watches Code Geass for romance, for example, should try Mars of Destruction to satisfy their thirst for romance, they're going to have an awesome time.
