Heart-warming anime top for fans of titles about love.
Romance in anime is imbued with tenderness, sentimentality, unpredictability, and lightness. And the humor helps to reduce the pathos of the sublime feeling, so anime about love can melt even the most inveterate nihilist.
In this small list, we have selected a few titles that deserve your attention if you are already in a romantic mood but tired of the classic comedies of the 2000s.
1. To the Forest of Firefly Lights, 2011
This is a tender and poignant story about love in which physical contact is impossible. The main characters live together for years, content with the unity of souls and endless trust in each other, without the possibility of even a tiny touch – in this case, the forest spirit Gin will simply disappear.
The characters grow together, get to know each other and spend an endless amount of time reflecting on the feeling of love and relationships. The philosophical melodrama turned out to be really captivating – there is something to think about late at night.
2. Recovery Of An MMO Junkie, 2017
Moriko is thirty years old and recently quit her office job. Now she plays computer games, hiding from the world in virtual reality.
In an online game, Moriko plays as a guy. Her avatar meets a cute girl named Lily and they start a relationship, and in reality, Moriko falls in love with the handsome Yuta Sakurai. Now the woman is faced with a choice: continue a comfortable relationship in the game world or try her luck in reality?
3. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, 2018
Everyone knows from childhood that not all love stories end well. Couples break up, spouses get divorced, families fall apart. But sometimes the reason is not disagreement or betrayal. It happens that relationships end because of the death of a partner or his or her terminal illness.
In I Want to Eat Your Pancreas the authors talk about what it's like to fall in love when you only have a few months left. The main characters, Sakura and Haruki, begin to fulfill all of their strangest desires in the girl's final days, eventually growing closer and becoming important parts of each other's lives.
4. An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride, 2024
This is the most ordinary romantic title at first glance, except that the main characters are the voluntary elf slave Nephy and the powerful sorcerer Zagan.
The title itself is based on the manga of the same name and takes the best from the original source – beautiful and lively characters and very touching attempts of Zagan and Nephy to get closer.
If you want your heart to ache from the awkward antics of the characters and feel a slight sadness with every failed kiss, then you should definitely add this anime to your must-watch list.
5. Kaguya-sama: Love is War, 2019-2023
Rivalry, teenage pride, and a closed academy are all present in this title – the laws of the genre cannot be broken, but on top of that, Kaguya and Miyuki, who are in love with each other, are simply obsessed with the title of best student, for which they fight with wild passion.
Manipulations, psychological tricks, deceptions, intrigues and passions – all this blossoms in the interactions of the main characters with each new episode. The question remains: who will give in first to end the feud and start a real relationship?
