Okemaru began penning the romantic comedy story on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in December 2018. Hobby Japan acquired the novel and began publishing under the HJ Bunko label in June 2020, featuring illustrations by Mizore Saba. The seventh volume shipped on August 1.

Popuri Yoshikita began serializing a manga adaptation on the Shounen Ace Plus magazine in March last year. Kadokawa released the second volume on March 25.

Synopsis
Wataru Sajou, who is deeply in love with his beautiful classmate Aika Natsukawa, approaches her without getting discouraged while having dreams about their mutual love. However, one day, he woke up thinking, "I am not really fit to be together with someone as good as her, huh..." Upon realizing this, Wataru started keeping an appropriate distance from her, much to Aika's surprise. "Could it be that he hates me now...?"

Did his intentions slip by her because she was getting impatient after arriving at the wrong conclusion?! This is the start of a romcom revolving around two people who just can't get their feelings across and both think their love is unrequited! (Source: Hobby Japan, translated)

It's a good thing I like both of them then, Isekai and Romcoms 😄
Still I would rather choose romantic dramas than romcoms but they're more rare, sure Japan loves their comedy stuff.
Thanks for the info by the way.

Then you can start looking forward to these LN titles. :)

High School Setting:

The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.
Starts off as a romcom but it eventually becomes a romance drama. It is a lot of fluff.

Gimai Seikatsu. I have not read this yet but a lot of LN readers are hyping it.

LN: https://myanimelist.net/manga/133352/Gimai_Seikatsu

Fantasy Setting:

Unnamed Memory. Many LN readers hype this as the best romance in fantasy romance but I have not read it. Well, I have the LN with me right now but need to look for time to read it~
LN: https://myanimelist.net/manga/133757/Unnamed_Memory?q=unnamed%20memor&cat=manga
The anime has not been announced but should be announced soon due to its high rating in Japan~

There are a lot more romcom LNs published in Japan sites. So there will be much more in the next few years~

Wow, you did a lot of work for me.
I don't know what to say but thanks :)
Sadly I have my time full, I'll see if I can make some changes.
I have noted down your recs though in case of your efforts don't go to waste.
Thanks again !

I keep track of Japanese novel sites. Romcoms have begun to replace isekai.

In HJ Bunko, there is one new romcom title every 3 months.
Too many to count in Dengeki Bunko. There are like 10 volumes of romcom every month.
In GA Bunko, Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten is the only big romcom I can think of.

EDIT: This romcom has been in my radar for a few months, still waiting for J Novel Club to license it~
JNC needs to stop working on those boring fantasy LNs and work on these interesting romcoms. LOL. >_>

That synopsis got me interested. And knowing the studio, the character design's gonna be quite cute.

Meh this looks boring... At best

There are other romcom novels which i wished to get an adaption rather than this. But it's okay. It's not that great but kinda fresh and new than other romance animes.

Looks like every shounen romcom ever.
