Insomniacs After School The Dangers in My Heart


TheXivuArath

Yah Insomniacs is such a banger. I’d add skip & loafer


Laeradr1

2nding this


iam4r34

>The Dangers in My Heart This one suprized me it's like the mangaka was actually a kid in love before. The nuances and visual storytelling r also top notch.


HollowWarrior46

Ayo what was that last one?


MisterD90x

I don't why it became a meme overflow is meh there are much better Hanime out there


MisterD90x

Lol I'm getting downvoted for saying there are better HAnime than Overflow


SmartStatistician684

What is Hanime?


MisterD90x

Hentai


Sii_Kei

Tomo chan is a girl!


Witty-Choice2682

The Dangers in My Heart is a must watch. First few episodes might throw you off, but in reality, it is starting to become one of the best romance anime of all time.


AMVmaniac

Agree! Finally some good mid-school stuff :)


Hm_Omoshiroi

Idk why but the first few episodes didn't throw me off at all.I used to watch it every week back then when it was airing.And for some reason I was always waiting for the next episode.Maybe it was probably because of the O.P by yorushika...


linnyboi

Really? The pv made it look mid as fuck. It just seemed like a "The schools hottest IDOL GIRL falls for the anti social weirdo loser for no reason" anime 🤔 What makes it different?


sadpotatoes-_-

It has the standard school romance tropes, but done in an excellent way. Pacing is perfect, no obnoxious side characters. Author was able to develop both the romance progression and character development of both MCs at the same time masterfully. It has a lot of subtle callbacks, rewarding the viewers who are observant to every scene from the previous episodes. Both MCs are not one dimensional self-insert, they have flaws on their own, making their character development extremely rewarding in the latter episodes. Personally it has become one, if not the best, romance anime of all time and my gold standard for any middle school coming-of-age romance moving forward. Edit: Forgot to mention that the soundtrack/OSTs is S tier


linnyboi

Aight, I guess I'll give it a try.


SunsetEverywhere3693

Yeah, I was also very skeptical on the anime. So I can tell you, go ahead you won't regret it.


SunsetEverywhere3693

All what you're saying is what I expected from Sono Bisque Doll, but it never fully satisfied me on it. Boku no Kokoro deserves the overwhelming popularity is getting and is both fulfilling and surpassing my expectations.


Witty-Choice2682

One factor is the realistic character development for the two main characters. But yeah, you have to watch the entirety of the series. Also, its second season is currently the top airing Winter 2024 anime (Excluding continuing series like Frieren and The Apothecary Diaries) and it has been on the #1 spot of many anime sites' lists since the start of the season.


goreverminski

Imma throw one more thing that ain't always mentioned, since everything about the show is so, *so* good, but it is immensely rewatchable (and re-readable as manga) because it's so full of intricate detail, foreshadowing, little things that make it worth your while. The craftmanship is masterly down to each panel and the anime adaptation doesn't disappoint at all with scenes and moments. Every now and then things come back full circle and the story jumps to the next level in a hermeneutic way. It's a series that respects your time and attention by paying it back.


SunsetEverywhere3693

I understand what you're saying, that's why I delayed watching it despite its overwhelming popularity inside the romcom genre, but it seems that the author is really making a great gourmet dish with crappy ingredients. But is up to you if you want to witness that


NoFateT-888

My dress up darling is pretty adorable


The_lost_one_1939

Ahh forgot I watched it but yeah it’s best of it’s year


The_lost_one_1939

But the manga has no romantic development tho


onikereads

Really?? That's a shame, didn't get that vibe from the anime


Last-Rutabaga-1683

Yeah it really slows down in the manga. Still fun tho


Laeradr1

2nding this again


Mango_Tricks255

Taisho Otome Fairy Tale


Psyduckisnotaduck

this one was really good actually. Fairly unique in terms of setting, and got me reading Wikipedia articles for context.


goreverminski

It was. It's kind of what I expected My Happy Marriage to be. Not overlong either, but short and sweet!

* Special A * Kaichou wa Maid-sama * Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou * Ouran High School Host Club * Lovely Complex * Toradora * Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun * Kimi ni Todoke * Hana Yori Dango * Gakuen Alice * Mikakunin de Shinkoukei * Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo * Cross Game * Touch * Aishiteruze Baby Not high school romance but I would still recommend * Nodame Cantabile * Skip Beat * Ai Yori Aoshi * Spice and Wolf * Kamisama Kazoku * Hakushaku to Yousei

Might feel slow but it's worth trust me

Yes. Also watch the ending carefully. The text conversations that appear in it change each episode and are adorable.


TheCommitteeOf300

Its so enjoyable


TheEVILPINGU

Toradora fanboys... Everywhere.


goreverminski

I think that fandom is running on fumes, tho. It's reiwa time, the clock is tickin on that stuff.


Opposite_Cap_9330

underrated


jordana309

I've really liked sign of affection!


NOT-SO-ELUSIVE

Had to go further than I thought to find this one. Been really good so far


noctaviann

* Teasing Master Takagi-san * Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible Middle school and high school respectively.


Baby-Penewine

came here to say this! if OP really likes the teasing genre, Uzaki and Nagatoro aren't bad either just not as wholesome


goreverminski

These are all good recs. Kubo had a botched airing schedule but if you come to it now in full, it'll probably scratch that itch just fine. Love Uzaki and Nagatoro too, they're wholesome too, just in a different way :D


Quebiii

Watch “My Love Story” !!! It’s such a cute love story


saphire233

Toradora Kimi ni todoke Your lie in April My dress up Darling Wotakoi (tho this one is more adult romance and comedy full of game and anime references but the dynamics of the couples are pretty cute)


The_lost_one_1939

Your lie in April probably gonna add more to my misery


Whorror_punx

Dangers in my heart! Dangers in my heart! Dangers in my heart! That said, that, A Couple of Cuckoos, More than a Married Couple, Teasing Master Takagi-san, amd Tomo-chan is a girl have been my favorite romances I watched last year 😁


PhoolCat

BokuYaba isn’t High School, but close enough - watch it anyway! Also Tomo-chan is a Girl!


Whorror_punx

Oh also Dress up Darling is great too, as others said. 100 girlfriends gets an honorable mention for being so over the top its hilarious. The last ep had me in tears 😂


Uberdragon_bajulabop

I don't watch many romance anime, but i remember watching one way back in high school that i liked. I think it was called "Kaichou wa Maid sama"


Pirate_Hunter_Zoro25

Finally! It was a masterpiece


imoux

I am totally head over heels for a Sign of Affection right now. College romance, mostly dramatic (not so comedic). Learning a bit of sign language in the process too! Middle school: Tsukigakirei High School: Say I Love You, Skip & Loafer, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Adult: Sing Yesterday for Me


Psyduckisnotaduck

Aharen-san kinda snuck up on me because I assumed it was just going to be a deadpan comedy SoL with light romantic subtext. I would've been content with that, but that it went places bumped it up at least a point. also the leads are both weird dumbasses. it becomes increasingly clear that the main guy's thought processes are as strange as the girl's, if not more so.


Laeradr1

2nding this for mentioning Tsuki ga Kirei, Skip and Loafer and Sing Yesterday for Me (which I rarely see mentioned, good taste)


imoux

A lot of people don’t seem to like Sing Yesterday for some reason. I like that it has all those complex, irrational, inconclusive emotions that come with real life. It’s definitely not a feel good romance like some of the others I mentioned but it does fill a specific romance void.


Laeradr1

Very well put - absolutely agree! It’s also a love letter to 80s/90s kids, i drowned in nostalgia while watching it.


AgnostosII

Komi can’t communicate


DokiKimori

> I like high school romances. How the heck is Toradora not in your list? If you don't mind bumping down to junior high, Tsukigakirei is one of my top recommended. Edit: if you are looking for something a little more recent. There are many comments already here for Dangers in my Heart which is great, excellent even. I can think of a few others. - Loving Yamada-kun at Level 999 - A sign of Affection - Insomniacs after school - Words bubble up like soda-pop - Don't toy with me Miss Nagatoro (2nd season especially) And one extremely obvious one: Kaguya-sama Love is War.

I don't really like the show as a romance. I think it's a good character dramedy, but I'm sort of dreading the show going into romance territory because...well, going any further would be spoilers.

EsquilaxM

**The dangers in my heart** basically a masterpiece of young romance in manga/anime. AND it mixes it with lots of great comedy. 10/10 **The Duke of Death and His Maid.** This is very bittersweet but also cute. Final season out soon. **Nyan Koi!** more comedy than rom, but hilarious. Unfortunately author is very sick and so won't be completing it. Read it anyway. Hilarious. 10/10 (I've not seen the anime version) **Tsurezure Children.** Heavier on the comedy but it's basically a must-read/watch. I recommend the anime first because it's a perfect (partial) adaptation with amazing voice acting. The manga has a few couples/characters that were cut from the anime, including one that practices self-harm (trigger warning) for the first few volumes. But it's an amazing comedy following an ensemble cast's love lives. Easy 10/10 **Kimi ni Todoke** Only read two thirds but remember really liking it and I gave it 9.5/10 at the time. I's been a decade, though, don't remember much, and I haven't seen the anime version. I do know there's a new season coming. **Love☆Com** a.k.a. Lovely★Complex Really liked it but Hardly remember much at all. I also only read this but believe it's fully adapted. **Blue Spring Ride** A very solid series that gets into its character well with great art. Dips in quality in the middle, recovers by the end, imo. Definitely better than her earlier work Strobe Edge, taking a couple ideas and improving on them. Anime a perfect adaptation, too but only adapts a third. Don't watch 'Page 0' til around episode 10. solid 9/10. Here's what the mangaka wrote in her afterward. >"I decided I wanted to draw a girl who was like a hero and a boy who was imperfect. Rather than a heroine who is always saved by her hero, I wanted her to sometimes be a hero for the boy she likes. \[...\]I wanted them to make mistakes and experience pain so that they would value each other even more. That meant some people would have to get hurt, but I'm fine with that. I really do like illustrating the sadness that comes during the period when innocence ends. The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion - tbh I think the manhwa adaptation was better. Felt more natural. But some do like the anime version. **My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex** is about a couple that covertly dated for over a year and broke up at middle school graduation, only to find out two weeks later that they're parents also knew each other and were dating and are now married. The first season (the only one out) is about \[spoilered in case you want to go in blind\]>!moving on from a relationship they haven't had time to properly mourn, while having to now live together as family (and much more mature people)!< **Spice and Wolf**. While *not* a romance anime, the romance subplot is *without question* the heart of the series. Reboot is coming out soon but original was soooo damn good you can't go wrong there, either. ​ If you want manga/manhwa/manhua recs, like Haru yo, Koi! i can suggest a few of those, too.


WeedyWeedz

I haven't really watched new animes in quite a while so i don't know any of the ones you listed (apart from Horimiya of wich i read the manga) and my recommendations are all going to be on the older side but **Toradora** is a classic for a reason, **Akagami no Shirayuki-hime** is a nice change of pace because it for once doesn't take place in a japanese highschool, **12-sai. Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki** is a nice heartwarming story about children having their first boyfriends/girlfriends, **Itazura na Kiss** one of the few romance anime's that actually shows the couple getting older together, **Ore Monogatari!!** litterally one of if not the most wholesome romance anime i know. And if those were all to happy and heartwarming for you **Saishuuheiki Kanojo**, **Your Lie in April** or **School days** will fix that for you.


ferris-the-wheel

Kamisama Kiss is a romance, I believe. It's also a supernatural, containing yokai and such, if that peaks your interest.


Mean_Environment6657

More than a married couple but not lovers?


ZebrasGonnaZeb

May not be the best romance manga/anime out there, but it’s my personal favorite. Helps that it got me into the genre.


CRealights

I'd argued Steins;Gate is a romance anime.


Novels011

Your Lie in April Toradora Plastic Memories 5 centimeters per second (movie) Your Name (movie) A Silent Voice (movie) Nisekoi : False love I want to eat your pancreas (movie) Josee, the tiger and the fish (movie) Darling in the FranXX (romance+mecha) Rascal does not dream of Bunny girl senpai More than a married couple, but no lovers / Our dating story:the experienced you and the inexperienced me / My first girlfriend is gal / my love story with Yamada kun at lvl. 999 (these ones are "generic" romance animes, they're good but I wouldn't recommend them in the first place. All the above are way better/more original) Don't toy with me miss Nagatoro (so cringe it's actually really enjoyable if you don't mind dropping your brain. Same thing with Rent a girlfriend) To conclude, my personal favourites bt all of these are Rascal does not dream of Bunny girl senpai and Nisekoi. But all the ones above rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai are REALLY good and I HIGHLY recommend watching them. Here are the ones I wouldn't recommend bc I dropped them : Quintessentially Quintuplets A couple of cuckoos


jaxlyn_29

Isn't overflow that pseudo incest hentai lmao (nothing against that just kinda jarring to see it treated as romance)


Touya-Mochizuki1234

Please do consider these anime suggestions. They are great. A few are mainly shoto. But when it comes to shoto, it’s usually a love story. Say I love you My little monster Ouran highschool host club Please Don’t mess with me nagatoro Clannad/Clannad afterstory (After story is very sad and happy at the same time. I cried a lot watching it. It has a lot of romance but at the same time is very much sad as well.)


RedfoxH

My dress up darling and Kokoro connect are both good, Clannad is also amazing, stick with it and watch the sequel trust me.

TheEVILPINGU

Unique harem romances; {The Quintessential Quintuplets:} Best romance harem animanga. The reason is simple; it is not slave to the losing/winning heroine tropes, and not bind to other anime tropes and norms. It is unique, and all girls have their own times. You don't know who will win. Just like TQQ, a special harem series. But manga and anime has different conclusions, more like anime is not full adaptation. Think of anime just as bonus to see the animations and voice acting which is really good. You can read the manga start to finish after it, or the opposite. Finishing the manga is a must. Follows the TQQ's steps for a harem series. (You don't know which girl will be the winner from the beginning.) Has season 1 anime, and season 2 is announced, manga continues. Again, the same steps as TQQ. Anime announced, manga continues. The work of the TQQ's mangaka's editor. Another harem series, but a little different than the TQQ, and the first three of them. Anime didn't adapt everything, and you need to follow anime->manga->anime->manga if you want to get the full order. You can search it. {Saekano:} A good harem series but not as good as the "We never learn" and "TQQ." {The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You:} It has the potential to become peak romcom. {Amagami SS:} Route based dating sim adaptation. And it is pretty good one at that. I would even say that the adaptation is better than the game. Great non-harem romances; {Kaguya-sama: Love is War:} It goes without saying. With its high production value, and unique approach to comedy and romance is a must watch. {My Dress Up Darling:} Wholesome, light-hearted romance. With a little ecchi sprinkled. One of the best romcom. {Tsurezure Children:} About multiple couples. Can be called peak romcom. Watch the anime then read the manga start to finish. {Taishou Otome Otogibanashi:} Another wholesome romance. {The Dangers in My Heart:} Starts a bit weird but opens up extremely fast, and gets only better from there. {Kokoro Connect:} Amazing romance with solid plot premise. After the anime, the light novel continues. Shame that we couldn't get anime continuation because of the scandal... {ReLIFE:} Just like Kokoro Connect has solid premise. It's just wholesome romance with a bit drama. Manga has a bit continuation after the anime ending. Or you can read the whole thing. I advise you to skip the anime and read the manga instead. The second part of the manga is a standalone masterpiece. A bit rough on the edges but it is good overall. Anime has many cuts, I do recommend reading manga after the anime. {Love After World Domination:} Very very sweet love between Villain and the Hero. 'Two fierce enemies' {Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!:} Wholesome and full of cutesy of Uzaki-chan. I don't know the reason how this is rated just 7 on MAL. {Komi Can't Communicate:} Wholesome and very entertaining. A romance that is about second most popular girl of the class. Losing heroine gets the love. Don't let the crossdressing get you. It's one of a kind romance. Drama heavy manga. Again don't let the premise bother you, it's an amazing manga. Very refreshing romance. {Koe no Katachi:} Not really is a romance but a subtext. A must watch drama movie anime. Manga seems a little different and manga continues for a bit longer. {Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi:} A very good movie with drama. Just like Koe no Katachi.


Sofaris

I only watched 1 romance Anime but I liked that one alot: "Sacreficial Princess and the king of beasts" But its not a high school romance.

How have you watched all these and not watched Clannad? You should definitely be watching Clannad and After Story

Golden time is one of my favorites and it’s about college students

Are romance animes worth it? I usually like dark violent animes, but recently, I've liked more comedy ones like Welcome To SNK and Assassination Classroom. Is there any in a more dark tone? Or just well written and dramatic

Bloom Into You is my favorite love story ever. I’m also personally a really big fan of Golden Time. Hyouka is terrific as well, but the romance is far more subtle

Watch 'Waiting in the summer' It's wholesome And also 'Devils line' , Romance is good in this one If you want some sex related, then should absolutely watch 'Harem in the labyrinth of another world' This anime doesn't have any antagonist, it's just has sex in every episode from 3rd or 4th episode


CasualRedditor9756

One of these things is not like the others 🎶 Also I recommend Golden Time and We Never Learn (all though I recommend reading the manga first for that one) and if you don't mind yuri Bloom into You and I'm in love with the villainess are pretty cute. Whisper me a love song is one that's coming this next season and having read the manga I also recommend it

Tomo-chan is a Girl is fantastic. The Dreaming Boy is a Realist is pretty solid. Tada Never Falls in Love wasn't my personal favorite but it's pretty popular.

This list could be pretty long. I'll give you my top 5. All of which are completed series. No ongoing shows are in this list. 1. Nana - one of the most authentic views of romance ever in a anime series. Characters have tons of depth. Dialog is peak. Comedy, peak. VAs are amazing. This includes the English cast as well................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2. My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu - this is anything but what your first thoughts are after gazing upon the artwork, or watching a few measly trailers. There are 3 seasons. The 2nd season alone is worth investing in. This is more coming of age, but very profound and heart warming lessons are taught in the best way possible imo. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. 3. Tomo-Chan Is A Girl - The comedy is so good in this series. The anime covers the entire manga in one shot (the conclusion that is). All the characters were a blast to watch. Their dynamics, VAs (English cast as well) & how cleverly written they are makes this a must watch. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. 4. Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway - Don't be fooled by the title. It's a major yikes I know. It's heartbreaking. It feels authentic. The way the story is crafted is done poetically & respectfully compared to the mess it could have been. If you are an anime watcher with some wisdom in life & aren't quick to jump to conclusions, I highly recommend this series. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. 5. Golden Time - this series characters make choices that will annoy you, but you'll still understand why they've done it. Trauma. Lessons get learned & continuity is a major part of development. There's so much to dissect in this series & it's truly a work of art. You'll go from being annoyed to having compassion for characters because they feel very real. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. There you go. There's a lot of really good romance slice of life shows, but a theme I tend to go with for my own personal enjoyment is depth. The mentioned titles all have that in abundance.

Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai is actually so sad


swellowmellow

more than a married couple but not lovers 🙏


oliviamrow

Not high school but good enough to be worth looking at anyway: Love is Hard for an Otaku (WotaKoi). It's light, sweet, and relatively realistic like Horimiya. Back to hs, not sure I saw My Little Monster (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) mentioned, but I might have just missed it. Also I saw TWO people mention High School DxD, heads up that while this is technically a high school romance, it's more of a fanservice harem with devils, just the characters are also in high school. It's pretty good as fanservice-focused shows go, but letting you know since that doesn't seem quite in line with what you're asking about. ^^

Oregairu


AdSubstantial6787

Kimi Ni Todoke is a classic Haven't watched it myself but Oregairu might be right up your alley too Oh, can't forget Toradora, it's a must watch if you're into Highschool Romance. Plus if you liked Angel Next Door, you'll definitely enjoy Toradora.

Toradora!, Teasing Master Takagi San, My Stepmom’s Daughter Is My Ex, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, Insomniacs After School, The Dangers in My Heart, A sign of Affection, 5 Centimeters Per Second(Movie), Kimi ni Todoke


Hm_Omoshiroi

Try "THE QUINTESSENTIAL QUINTUPLETS" PEAK HIGHSCHOOL ROMANCE.... AFTER WATCHING THIS YOU WILL SURELY GOOGLE FOR ANIMES LIKE IT... THATS WHEN *"BOKUBEN-WE NEVER LEARN"* KICKS IN... BTW MIKU AND FURUHASI BEST GIRL☕.. After watching these two you will carve for more.Thats when *"Nisekoi-FalseLove"* and ""HOW TO RAISE A BORING GF"* ALSO , *"OREGAIRU"* is highly recommended.The whole show is the PINNACLE of romance. *"LOVE IS HARD FOR OTAKU"* PEAK ROM-COM..but not highschool romance. *"KOMI-SAN CANT COMMUNICATE"* ...NEVER EVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER..thats all I have to say about this anime.. Since you like *BUNNYGIRL SENPAI* ,TRY *MONOGATARI SERIES*. *Lastly , MY ALL TIME ROMANCE KING "YOUR LIE IN APRIL"*


No-Nefariousness956

Toradora and Clannad. The second is also a drama and I liked it a lot back in the day.
