A list of Rom-com animes. This list include also some animes with serious romance + some comedy focused animes + some drama but not a heavy one.

I wrote a note in every anime I've watched.

Check the other rom-com stacks for more recommendations.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/3212

If you crave some light-hearted, sweet, heartfelt romance anime at the moment! Contains little to none drama between the two main characters. This list includes no sequels or side stories.

Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/12861

Where siblings, cousins, or those of close relations have romantic thoughts about one another, whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing. Either way, it's a type of love story some may enjoy.

(the following reviews may include spoilers)
also KEEP IN MIND: many of these are appropriate for adults only!

stories of siblings being more than just siblings with one another as a main focus in the series (not necessarily romantic, though a lot of these are). everything goes from mild brocon/siscon to almost hentai. (no actual hentai is included.)

these anime are organized roughly in order from most wholesome to most perverted. i also include a short synopsis of each one along with some useful info, hopefully it can be helpful in picking a new show to watch. just keep in mind that not all of this is worth watching, i just want to give you all the options.

i only included the main entry [with one exception, for good reason] if a series has multiple seasons/ovas/movies etc. (no stacking the list with random ovas here!)

ALSO NOTE: this list is under construction, all the entries at the bottom without a synopsis i have yet to watch and categorize.

i've moved some entries to https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35625

Big dose of laid-back Romance animes with Wholesome romance, and without any Love-triangle, Missunderstanding, and rival girl. (If there is any rival they clear up fast.)

Occasional teasing shows included!

Its all the sugary-fluffy love stories you need.

***One exception under the "the rivals clear up fast" is [Kimi Ni Todoke]. There the first season second half is full-on rivalry, but its worth the watch because the love earned in the end***

Romance anime that are set in the (kinda) real world, adapted from light novels.

This stack is for relatively realistic Slice of Life anime that depicts the daily life of the characters quite realistically and lacks excessive moe or other idealization/objectification of the social groups shown. Of course, taking into account the genre and premise of anime. For example, I defined Hibike as realistic since it's a rather visualy metaphorical anime, but didn't include many other CGDCT shows due to the "girl's zoo" premise.


If you know of other realistic shows that I have not mentioned, then feel free to write me about it in private messages or on the wall.

Romance anime that worth to you read the manga after you finished it (completed/on going). If you’ve watched this maybe you’ll like the manga too!

*some anime may potencially have romance development in manga, so you can consider it.

「Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life」


Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful
things are corrupt without being charming.
This is a fault.

Those who find beautiful meanings
in beautiful things are the cultivated.
For these there is hope.

　　　　　　　　　　　※　※　※

All art is at once surface and symbol.

Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.


"Rational? There are two ways of disliking art, Ernest. One is to dislike it. The other, to like it rationally."


"Where, if not from the Impressionists, do we get those wonderful brown fogs that come creeping down our streets, blurring the gas-lamps and changing the houses into monstrous shadows? To whom, if not to them and their master, do we owe the lovely silver mists that brood over our river, and turn to faint forms of fading grace curved bridge and swaying barge? The extraordinary change that has taken place in the climate of London during the last ten years is entirely due to a particular school of Art.

You smile. Consider the matter from a scientific or a metaphysical point of view, and you will find that I am right. For what is Nature? Nature is no great mother who has borne us. She is our creation. It is in our brain that she quickens to life. Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that have influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it come into existence.

At present, people see fogs, not because there are fogs, but because poets and painters have taught them the mysterious loveliness of such effects. There may have been fogs for centuries in London. I dare say there were. But no one saw them, and so we do not know anything about them. They did not exist till Art had invented them."

— Oscar Wilde

i didn't include One Piece since it's an on going anime

A collection of non-H anime with a focus on sibling relationships. The relationship between them must be the primary character relationship of the anime's narrative or have heavy romantic or sexual implications. Same sex siblings are only included if they are explicitly romantic or sexual.

This list contains anything that I have not seen yet, but I consider high priority for adding to the list.
