5 Romance Anime That Are Not Set in High School

When you’re craving something more mature.

Since a lot of old school anime fans are grown-ups now, their anime tastes are changing, and there are things that used to work for them but just don’t anymore. And the age of romance protagonists might be just the thing.

So we decided to make a short list of romance anime that are not about high schoolers, but are still very enjoyable.

A Sign of Affection (Yubisaki to Renren)

This anime is definitely this season’s hit with its unmatched style and incredible atmosphere.

Yuki is a hearing-impaired student (college student, not high school!), but her disability isn’t on the way to her happiness and love, of course! She meets a handsome man on a train, and this is love at first sight.

They will have to overcome the issues with their communication and truly understand their feelings for each other, and this is exactly what we’re here for.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii)

The word “otaku” in the title promises a great experience already because you instantly understand that you’ll have at least someone to relate to in the series.

Although Narumi tries hard to hide her passion for anime and shipping, she fails. But this is not going to be an issue, since Narumi finds out she’s not the only one and there are others who share her interests.

She’s happy about that because she’s already had an unpleasant experience with her ex-boyfriend. But who knows, maybe this time she’ll finally be able to date someone who doesn’t blame her for her interests?

My Senpai is Annoying (Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi)

What about romance at the workplace? We know it’s usually not a good idea in real life, but the beauty of anime is that anything can happen, isn’t it?

Igarashi didn’t use to be a fan of Takeda because of his constant teasing, but she also noticed how helpful and attentive he can be. And the more time they spend together, the more their relationship changes. For the better, of course!

Servant x Service

Daily lives of civil servants in a government office don’t sound like a fun experience, but this anime is ready to prove us wrong.

Lucy sounds like a simple name, but this is just the short form of it. We won’t spend 30 minutes of your time reading the full form, but just know that it’s long.

Lucy manages to get a job at the same public service office that approved this name, and now she’s eager to get her revenge on the person who thought it was a good idea.

Golden Time

This one starts with an accident, as Banri Tada is struck with amnesia, dissolving the memories of his hometown and past. However, he enrolls at Tokyo University, where he decides to start a new life.

And this is exactly the place where he can be “reborn” and laugh, love and live again. But it might turn out that his old life is not ready to let him go just yet.
