I just finished watching Fragrant Flower and it was one of the best pieces of media i’ve consumed since i’ve started watching anime. So I was hoping to get recommendations for romance anime that are like that.
Hi Mr_Plane776, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!
The users of this subreddit came up with [a chart of anime recommendations for newcomers and veterans](https://i.redd.it/0w1v880jtq661.png) and [an awesome longer flowchart](https://i.redd.it/vdzlkodz19c71.png). Maybe you can find something there that you'll like \^.\^

TurborelCoCoSo2026-01-01 21:39
I have seen a lot of romance animes and i think that one that is really similar is Horimiya.
In both animes the characters know what they want and the problems dont take much time to solve.
MenialTesoro2026-01-01 21:42
Clannad/Clannad After Story
MJadorie2026-01-01 21:43
Not sure if you like fantasy, but the sincerity of the female lead and initial distance of the male lead seems similar to the anime-
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale
But don't be fooled by the candy-colored art style. There are dark parts too, as all true fairy tales include😉
FastenedCarrot2026-01-01 21:48
Kaguya Sama
Kimi ni todoke
A Lull in the Sea (nagi no asukara)
CobraFive2026-01-01 23:01
Most of the ones I'd recommend are already recommended several times so I guess there's no point to repeat.
I really liked Insomniacs After School and I haven't seen anyone mention that. Also the manga continues past the anime and is totally worth reading.

Horimiya is probably the closest in terms of warmth and natural chemistry not overly dramatic, just people falling in love in a very human way
