Continuation of my previous interest stack.

A list of anime that I find relaxing and perfect to watch after work. No focus needed, just sit down and enjoy the calm moments.


The list is obviously subjective. Your taste might differ and that's totally fine.

I am only adding the first seasons of each longer series!


PART 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/13836
PART 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/46073

Big dose of laid-back Romance animes with Wholesome romance, and without any Love-triangle, Missunderstanding, and rival girl. (If there is any rival they clear up fast.)

Occasional teasing shows included!

Its all the sugary-fluffy love stories you need.

***One exception under the "the rivals clear up fast" is [Kimi Ni Todoke]. There the first season second half is full-on rivalry, but its worth the watch because the love earned in the end***

Note: Some series may be removed and added here
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/59319

No open end (to some extent, in some)
No harem, bl or gl
No ecchi (or slightly in some)
*They are tagged as romance genre or romantic subtext theme, the degree of romance content varies and some blooms in sequels which will require patience.
!After completing the anime it's recommended checking out the sequels, movies and/or source materials, if they have those, to confirm couples getting together and/or for further developments.
*Please do specified research before giving your time to watch.
The list is full but replacements with better quality new animes will happen, therefore it's suggested getting the ones you consider watching on your list.

Hard to find good romance anime which isn't filled with stupid and boring cliches, so here's my attempt to list the best shows, or at least the ones I found entertaining enough to bother watching.

My slice of life anime list https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23190

This is a stack of comedic and light-hearted romance shows. These shows will stay light-hearted throughout the series, avoiding most sad or drama-related undertones.

If you liked the concept of this stack, you might be interested in a very similar stack, but for manga, titled: Unadapted Light-Hearted Rom-Com Manga (No GL/BL or Fantasy). So feel free to give it a look if these types of series interest you.

If you watched these please read the source material.

If you are planning on watching any of these please read the source material instead.

Only anime that I have seen the source of is listed here (with a few expectations).

Post-2020 shows involving utaites/Vocaloid producers (inc. former).
Most of these are first time anime appearances/collaborations.

Pre-2020: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/238

Roughly grouped by utaites > vocaloid producer units > producers

I haven't been keeping up with seasonals these days so you can poke me to add stuff :D

Looking for new romances??
New romances in the years 2020+
-In ascending order from the first season

part 1- https://myanimelist.net/stacks/22635

A list of anime commented/analyzed by the youtuber Bayfond. There is a playlist in his channel compiling the videos where he talks about them and the order displayed in that playlist is the one being taken into account here, I'll try to keep this list updated to his future uploads. https://www.youtube.com/@bayfond/featured (link to his channel)
He has also talked about the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime twice, but it isn’t in the MAL database as of the last update to this stack.

This list contains some of the best romance anime....
You must watch these before you die... These got the least amount of relationship problems, love triangles, third wheel characters... And don't drop them without watching the end...


Edit: Replaced "Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion" with "The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses"... Replaced "Howl Moving Castle" with "My Tiny Senpai"...Replaced "My Clueless First Friend" with "Darling In The Franxx"((how can I forget Darling In The Franxx))...Replaced "Special A" With "Insomniacs After School"(Insomniacs After School is super good)...Replaced "The Ancient Magus' Bride" with "Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!"...Replaced "
"Ookami to Koushinryou/Spice And Wolf" with "Mirai Nikki/The Future Dairy"...Replaced "In/Spectre" with "Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl"...Replaced "Love After World Domination" with "I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness"... Replaced "The Maid I recently Hired Is Mysterious" With "This Art Club Has a Problem!"... replaced "Scince Fell In Love" with "In-Spectre"... replaced "Toradora" with "365 Days to the Wedding"... replaced "Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet" with "You are Ms. Servant"...

Romance anime that worth to you read the manga after you finished it (completed/on going). If you’ve watched this maybe you’ll like the manga too!

*some anime may potencially have romance development in manga, so you can consider it.
