Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta.

Kakuyomu is Japan's novel publishing website developed by KADOKAWA where anyone can publish and read novels free of charge. These animes are anime of Kakuyomu origin.

Romance anime that are set in the (kinda) real world, adapted from light novels.

This stack is for Nisekoi-type anime, abstractly named after a (in)famous romantic comedy where the characters are forced to accept a arranged engagement and artificial relationship in general. Such shows are usually based on a very characteristic premise, where a guy and a girl, less often other combinations, are forced to be together due to a forced engagement or a fake relationship, but subsequently fall in love with each other for real (not necessarily at the same time). Additional drama is also possible where the characters are already in love with someone else and/or are forced to maintain that relationship due to circumstances.

Some of these shows problematically idealize organized relationships (usually because of the idea of ​​easily getting interesting pairing or fantasizing about the perfect bride with no extra effort), some deconstruct or add something that reveals the character's developed genuine romantic reciprocity. Some, on the contrary, even normalize it, but fortunately such shows are in the minority and even they try to somehow justify this in the eyes of people.

Separately, I want to note that not all of these shows contain this subplot or arc in the first or already released seasons. So keep that in mind when you see shows in the stack that you've never heard of in this context. Also, this stack doesn't include anime with forced engagement that don't include the center couple in it, or are clearly shown it in a judgmental way.

I love anime girls with short hair so here is a stack of Romance anime with a main female protagonist with short hairstyles (bob or shorter).

This specific breed of romance anime where the only/primary appeal is the female lead (and maybe some female side characters). Usually have a nerdy loner male lead for you to self-insert onto. Plenty of wish fullfillment.
