Blending romance and comedy quite nicely, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! is one of the most cult anime of the romance title. A very entertaining anime about the “private” life of Seika High’s student council president, Ayuzawa Misaki, after school. Misaki’s private life begins to be not so private after she is discovered by someone at her school.

The most heartbreaking version of the musical drama: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
Release Date: May 15, 2015
IMDb Rating: 8. 6/10
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, one of the best examples of romantic drama, definitely manages to break our hearts with both its music and the story it tells. Our story, which is shaped around the tragic life of Arima Kousei, known as the piano genius, really breaks our hearts while watching our young main character.
The story of the purest and most innocent romance: Ore Monogatari!!
Release Date: April 8, 2015
IMDb Rating: 7. 8/10
Ore Monogatari!!, which is the purest and most innocent version of romance, is an anime that breaks down prejudices about appearance, as well as telling a very sweet romance. Gouda, who is afraid of people because of his appearance, changes the situation completely when he saves a girl named Yamako one day. On top of these events, the purest and most innocent romance story begins, and it follows a story that will make the audience laugh.
A story that sparks a cliché: Suki-tte Ii na yo
Release Date: October 6, 2012
IMDb Rating: 7. 4/10
Technically, Suki-tte Ii na yo, which has a story similar to many teen romances, is an anime that, besides being a cliché, definitely makes the audience emotional while watching it and makes you forget about this situation. The story, which is about the strange encounter of a classic lonely cute sweet girl with the handsome guy of the school and then the progression of the relationship between the two, offers a pleasant anime to watch with the sweetness of the characters and the contribution of the “slices of life” theme.
A cult horror movie plagues a teenage girl: Kimi ni Todoke
Release Date: October 6, 2009
IMDb Rating: 7. 8/10
Even though we have a classic single girl theme again, this one is a bit tragicomic. We have a sweet girl character who is constantly misunderstood because she is likened to a character in a horror movie. Of course, our bilateral relationship started when this girl character, a kind boy, completely ignored these events and contacted her. It is quite enjoyable to watch our young girl, who started to socialize completely differently from normal events, from being alone and walking around to a smiling face.
All kinds of friendship is beautiful theme: Kokoro Connect
Release Date: 8 July 2012
IMDb Rating: 7. 5/10
Despite being a bit paranormal, Kokoro Connect has provided a very nice blend of friendship, romance and human relations. Although it seems like a classic youth romance at first glance, the deepening of the subject in the following chapters and the progression of events in a different direction creates a scenario completely different from the expectations of the viewer. This story, which takes place between the 5 members of the cultural studies club, is about the young members getting to know each other better and some truths are revealed.
Both laughing and sad: Toradora!:
Release Date: October 1, 2008
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10
We can say that Toradora is a beautiful blend of romantic comedy, with the flag bearer of the character type that is burning inside despite always being cold and repulsive to the character we call Tsundere. Our story between the Taiga and Ryuji duo is an anime that makes you laugh from time to time and saddens you from time to time, but definitely does not regret watching it.
A dark and psychological story: Nana
Release Date: April 5, 2006
IMDb Rating: 8. 4/10
Nana, which is known for being a very heavy anime, is an anime where romance and drama flow. Our anime, which is about the lives of 2 women, who have the same names but completely opposite appearance, started with their roommates in Tokyo, and it definitely manages to radiate a depressive atmosphere with its dark and cold theme. But this is one of the features that makes Nana a very unique anime.
Proving that physical appearance is all talk: Lovely Complex
Release Date: April 7, 2007
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10
The romance story of two young people who are opposite to each other with their physical characteristics. This story, which sounds both funny and interesting at first glance, is really both funny and interesting. Risa, who is taller than the average girl, and Otani, who is shorter than the average boy, are a pair that is teased for their physical features. But when romance is involved, the situation suddenly changes and the physical trait remains only on paper.
An ancient romance: Spice and Wolf
Release Date: February 10, 2006
IMDb Rating: 8.0/10
Warming your heart with an ancient fantasy romance story, Spice and Wolf is about the relationship between a traveling merchant and a harvest goddess.

A classic romantic comedy: Bokura ga Ita
Release Date: July 3, 2006
IMDb Rating: 6.8/10
Characters who had a difficult start in friendship now go like cheese bread in the anime world. This story between Nanami and Yano, who are also victims of the same scenario, is a very classic but also fun story. Even though it doesn’t have a story that overpowers romance, Bokura ga Ita is a very funny anime in terms of comedy.
An overly friendly guy chases after a nerdy girl: Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Release Date: April 27, 2018
IMDb Rating: 7. 3/10
An interestingly friendly and emotionally volatile Haru is pursued by our mother-daughter, who is news of socializing and always burying her head in classes. After that, as you can guess, the revel is not missing. However, Tonerari no Kaibutsu-kun, who tries to approach a classic subject as different as possible, is very popular with his characters. In addition, it is quite enjoyable to watch the characters try to get out of their character model.
