I want a Romance Anime where the main character isn't a bitch.

I recently finished watching season 2 of "A couple of cuckoos" which started off decent which is why I sat through it. However, the main guy character was so irritating to watch with him bitching out of all the relationships, and as soon as there is progress/intimate scene, the show goes backwards with him questioning "if he truely loves her" but then its obvious that he does (which did my head in). Anyway would love a recommendation. Thank you.

The show would last one episode if that was the case /s

"They had sex and lived happily ever after"

"The end"

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 01:57

That is true, but I'm saying a main character with more of a courageous personality, not a wimpy guy. For example i liked "the fragrant flower blooms with dignity" which had a main character that was fun to watch.

tapeforpacking2025-12-26 02:29

Fragrant flower was such a disappointment to me. It was one of the most boring romance animes ive seen in a long time.

And I blame everyone who hyped it up so much

No_Cockroach24672025-12-26 01:48

The Dangers in My Heart. Just give it a bit of time; he starts off a bit of a dumb kid, but he learns fast.

tapeforpacking2025-12-26 01:52

Damn shame we prolly wont get another season for like 3 years or smth

Recon12122025-12-26 02:42

Likely not going to get one at all. They announced a movie that will have an additional scene or two, but based off what I’ve seen that’s probably it. I personally hope I’m wrong, I’d love to see more.

timpkmn892025-12-26 03:31

> They announced a movie that will have an additional scene or two, but based off what I’ve seen that’s probably it.

Why does that mean it's likely not going to get a third season?

tapeforpacking2025-12-26 04:04

Same im also confused at why he would think that. Also its a compilation movie which in my head means they are planning another season, why else would they release a compilation movie?

Firm-Cat5112025-12-26 03:31

So sad that show had no reason being that good. I recently started the manga and it just makes me want it animated even more.

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:02

Sounds good, i'll give it a shot.

ExtraPicklesPls2025-12-26 02:42

I actually gave up on this show the first time because of the MC but I am very glad I picked it back up because the show does such a fantastic job of developing him.

AgonistPhD2025-12-26 01:55

Kimi ni Todoke: both the ml and fl are the kindest, most well-intentioned characters ever. And the ml's inner conflict isn't about his feelings, but about balancing what he wants and being a friend to the fl.

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:01

I have watched it, a great recommendation.

Fun_Yam46062025-12-26 02:10

Theres a sequel manga now if you haven't seen it yet.

AgonistPhD2025-12-26 02:19

the Kurumi one?

Fun_Yam46062025-12-26 02:21

Yep. It's actually really neat.

AgonistPhD2025-12-26 02:42

I liked it, too. Kurumi deserved her own love story.

hopperbell2025-12-26 01:55

Horiyama give that one a try the characters are all pretty likeable

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:01

Horiyama is one of my favourites.

tapeforpacking2025-12-26 02:30

I actually hated that they had sex

Top_Professional85952025-12-26 01:56

I was just thinking about this exact thing. Where’s the regular falling in love scenario. No step siblings/cousins/teacher student/literal children with adults/1000 year old lolis, just a couple regular fucking people. Actually they don’t even have to be regular people, I just want a scenario where it’s not weird. They don’t even have to kiss, just ask the other person out or say I love you.

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:00

Exactly this

Alt22212025-12-26 23:04

sounds like you really wanna watch k dramas but for some reason are selecting an art medium known for all those tropes you are attempting to avoid.

also there is probably 15 shows in the last two years that fit the 'normal humans - no literal children' category so i have no idea what you are attempting to complain about.

check out **Solo Camping for Two**.

blueandgoldilocks2025-12-26 01:57

Clannad

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:03

I've watched it. Excellent recommendation.

PaintOptimal21982025-12-26 02:01

tomo chan is a girl maybe

Flaming_Duck0072025-12-26 02:03

Added tk the list, thank you.

JayNSilentBobaFett2025-12-26 02:04

I feel like Your Lie in April is a normal person romance, it is sad and there is a triangle but normal otherwise

mihizawi2025-12-26 02:06

Right, so you want an MC who is a good person? Or one where the main character doesn't have doubt about their feelings?

The first one is much easier, and I can give you quite a few examples, let me know. But one that checks both things... well, I guess a good option would be Ai Yori Aoshi. It's a harem, but the main couple actually gets together almost at the very start, but they have to keep it a secret for plot reasons, giving other girls room to develop feelings for the MC with various degrees of intensity. The MC is a really nice person, so it actually makes sense why the girls would have feelings for him, but, while he cares for everyone, he never doubts who he actually wants to be with. The main problem is that, while there's definately progress during the anime, the ending we got in the second season wasn't much of an ending.

Anyway, let me know if some doubts are acceptable, as long as the main character still acts in a decent way about it, because I'll have planty of those.

SecureDonkey2025-12-26 02:12

Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku.

One of the best romance I could recommend. It's also one of the few romance anime where MC actually have group of male friend that all got character developement.

Fun_Yam46062025-12-26 02:13

My First Love Story is just a sweet wholesome romance. It's heavy on the comedy tho. Couple gets together quickly, both are genuinely wonderful people, and while there is weird waffling about stuff, their feelings for each other are never doubted or confused. The anime ends a bit before the manga but what's left is maybe enough for an ova or movie, not a whole season.

Nightstick112025-12-26 02:19

More Than a Married Couple but Not Yet Lovers

Death2Gnomes2025-12-26 02:21

I hate when they make the
MC appear completely stupid and brainless.

sarybelle2025-12-26 02:29

A Sign of Affection, I Have a Crush at Work, April Showers Bring May Flowers

ExtraPicklesPls2025-12-26 02:43

I love the language element of a sign of affection. Really enjoyed this one.

ActualRound76992025-12-26 02:31

Try:

\* I Have a Crush at Work

\* My Awkward Senpai

\* Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie

\* My First Girlfriend’s a Gal

\* My Happy Marriage

\* A Sign of Affection

If you're interested in Yuri, I'd definitely recommend this one. Gig worker falls in love with a member of a local band and the whole thing is incredibly cute. I love that all characters are adults (high school romance gets boring) and there is ZERO fan service.

Guilty-Tell2025-12-26 04:35

I mean if you gonna mistake harem animes for romance thats what you get. Avoid all these trash harem shows in the first place.
