Love stories are foundational to anime, which is why it's no surprise that the best romance anime are also some of the best anime period. Whether it be understated and adult or loud and juvenile, romance anime are endlessly compelling and have a massive fan base for good reason. Even fans of straight-up action shonen series might want to give romance anime a try given how many solid series there are.
One advantage romance anime have over their more action-oriented counterparts is that a focus on characters is an absolute requirement. While a sci-fi or fantasy series might be able to get away with a forgettable cast of characters, a love story needs to pay extra attention to its characters or else the story will fall apart. It's this focus on characters connecting and growing together that end up defining the very best romance anime series.

Harem anime might have a divisive reputation, but The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You deserves none of that criticism. The genuine love Rentaro and his harem have for each other makes 100 Girlfriends' story surprisingly heartwarming, far more than the average harem story that never truly justifies its premise.

Later that day, after she complains about her romantic troubles, the two otakus decide to try dating each other.

Love Hina pushed the envelope for shonen anime thanks to abundant fan service and harem tropes that would become increasingly industry-standard as the decades passed. For 1990s kids, it was a well-marketed series, with ads appearing in Shōnen Jump magazine promoting these hilarious, occasionally risqué glimpses at the story of Keitaro Urashima and the girls staying at Hinata Inn.

Directors Konosuke Uda
Lovely Complex is an anime where a tall girl meets a short boy that doesn't skimp on humor and sweet developments.

Creator(s) Kenjiro Hata
Tonikaku Kawaii, or TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You as the first season is titled in English, certainly starts with some drama, with protagonist Nasa Yuzaki narrowly avoiding death in a truck accident only to chase after the mysterious girl that saved him, injured, to ask her out.
Luckily, after she accepts his confession on the odd condition that the two of them get married, it gives way to a show with little drama and tons of sweet romantic moments. Plenty of anime leave shocking twists for the very end but Tonikawa leaves the high stakes behind after the opening and each episode is a wholesome treat guaranteed to leave the viewer with a smile.

Whilst shoujo anime has produced some great dramatic endings, it's also responsible for a ton of incredibly fun and laid back romances. Maid Sama! is arguably one of the best to come out of shoujo anime, centered on Seika High School's strict new school council president and the one secret she doesn't want to get out. Of course, when a popular boy named Takumi Usui discovers that she works at a maid cafe and starts to tease her about it, a romance begins to blossom between the two.

Tomo-chan Is a Girl! follows a familiar enough premise, with the protagonist, Tomo Aizawa, hopelessly in love with her childhood friend, Junichiro Kubota, while he remains relentlessly dense. Tomo's perceived flaws are her tomboyish tendencies, including being a talented fighter, but her attempts to garner attention by appearing more feminine often produce more awkward moments than progress in love and life.
The hijinks resulted in this constant miscommunication between the pair results in a hilarious romantic comedy anime, and more than a few close calls in this concise thirteen-episode anime.

Cast Yuichi Nakamura , Ari Ozawa , Masumi Tazawa , Sawako Hata , Christina Marie Kelly , Juliet Simmons , Ty Mahany , Tiffany Terrell
Release Date June 1, 2014
Seasons 1
The downside of low-stakes romcoms is that they often focus a lot more on the comedy aspect rather than developing the central relationships. Whilst Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun arguably suffers from this, the show's unique humor and charming characters more than make up for it.
The show is centered on Chiyo Sakura, a girl with a massive crush on the deadpan, oblivious shoujo romance author Umetarou Nozaki, and her attempts to get her feelings across to him form the heart of the show. They aren't its only charming pair, however, as the side characters all get their own romantic subplots that are just as much lighthearted fun.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is far more wholesome than one might think.
