Romance Anime:
Romance anime are all about sweet usually first love stories. They are mainly set in high-school or college life environments and start as a friend-relationship to then develop, as time goes by, into a school romance. But what they all have in common is that to watch romance anime like these leaves you a heart-warming sensation.
Our Favourite Romance Anime:
There are so many romance anime out there that making a choice was particularly difficult. We narrowed it down to the ones available to stream on Crunchyroll. Still, the number was very high. So, we just went with our favourite ones to watch.

My Love Story (Ore Monogatari)
My Love Story is a romantic comedy about Takeo Goda – an unusual high school boy who falls in love with Rinko Yamato, a beautiful girl who has never noticed him before he saves her.
This anime follows their relationship as they try to figure out how to be together despite being so different from each other in personality, interest and appearance.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War (Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai)
In this anime, two students from an elite academy, Miyuki Shirogane top student and student council president, and vice president Kaguya Shinomiya, are in love with each other, but there’s just one problem: neither of them will confess their feelings to the other first.
They, therefore, decide to use manipulation tactics and psychological warfare on one another until the other person gives up!
It’s a battle to see who can outwit whom – or perhaps they’re both just too stubborn for their own good.
Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso)
Your Lie in April is an anime about Kousei Arima, a piano prodigy who lost his ability to hear himself play after the death of his mother. He meets Kaori Miyazono, a violinist with an unusual style that inspires him to pick up the instrument again. Together, they try to find their way out of loneliness while also dealing with Kaori’s health issues and Kousei’s lack of self-confidence.
This is one of my personal all-time favorite romance anime to watch. It’s not like other romance anime.
A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi)
Shoya Ishida is a bully who picks on a newly admitted student, who is also a deaf girl named Shoko Nishimiya, just because she’s different from everyone else. But when their classmates start turning against him and treating him like an outcast, he feels the whole weight of his guilt and tries to apologize to Shoko by giving her a gift at school – which only makes things worse!
So now, both boy and girl must learn how to reconcile with each other while dealing with their own past traumas.
That Day When the Starry Sky Glows (Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi)
This anime follows Kazuma Hoshino and his brother Ayumu. Because Ayumu has asthma, the family moves from the city to the countryside to start a new life, and where the two boys will make new friends with other local students. Their romances and adventures are narrated in this anime.
Kimagure Orange Road (Kimagure Orenji Rōdo)
This anime is the story of a boy with special powers who falls in love with a high school friend but is too shy to tell her and ends up dating her best friend. The girl also is in love with him back, but cannot express her feelings because she doesn’t want to hurt her best friend.
The classic love triangle story!

Together they begin travelling around England while also helping people in need.
A Japanese sort of Beauty and the Beast.

This is both a romance and comedy anime series about a girl who doesn’t believe in friendship due to a childhood incident that led to disappointment and betrayal.
