Save the list for when you’re in a romantic mood.
The main issue with most romance anime is that they are usually about highschoolers. And while we don’t want to be rude to highschoolers, we have to admit that there are times when we want to watch something different. If this time has come for you, we’ve got some suggestions.
- The Ancient Magus' Bride (Mahou Tsukai no Yome)
Abandoned at a young age, Chise Hatori dreams of having a home and is ready to be taken in by anyone who promises her that. She is sold at an auction to a mysterious masked man, who turns out to be a mage named Elias Ainsworth.
He takes her in as his apprentice and eventually his bride. Due to this arrangement, Chise learns more about magic and the world of supernatural beings, as well as begins to uncover the dark secrets of Elias's past.
- 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! (Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuu Kimama na Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu suru)
Rishe has been many things in her life… we mean, lives! Because this is her 7th life and the 6th time she’s been reborn.
Rejected by the prince, this time she knows exactly what to do. But everything changes when a man that killed Rishe in her previous life notices her. She catches his attention, and he sees only one option: he has to propose to the girl.
- Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona)
Yona is a princess who has lived an innocent and oblivious life: she has no idea about the hardships of those who live outside the walls of Kouka.
But her perfect life is about to get shattered when an act of treason threatens to erase all that she holds dear. Yona is forced to flee her kingdom after the assassination of her father, the king. And the fact that the murderer is her crush only makes it more difficult.
- Snow White with the Red Hair (Akagami no Shirayuki-hime)
This romantic fantasy follows a young herbalist named Shirayuki, who has a unique feature of beautiful red hair.
When the prince of her kingdom, Raji, tries to force her to become his concubine, she is unwilling to lose her freedom and decides to flee. Which leads to her meeting a prince of a neighboring country.
- Spice and Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou)
Kraft Lawrence is a traveling merchant who meets a wolf goddess named Holo in a small town. Holo is a goddess of harvest, and since the people don’t really need her anymore, she offers Kraft to become his partner and join him on his adventures.
It wouldn’t be a romance story if he declined the offer, so he accepts her proposal, and thus begins their journey together.
