Adult themed Romance Anime Recs?

I'm a BIG romance reader and I'm specifically looking for romance anime recs. I'm still pretty new to anime and am still figuring it out.

What I've seen so far and loved:
Beastar
Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
Ancient Magus Bride

I loved Beastar for having more mature themes and showing it. I LOVED both the Sacrificial Princess and Ancient Magus Bride for the romance, but I wanted just a TAD more sexiness added to it.

Visual consumation on screen (dont want this post to get rejected) is a-okay and probably preferred lol, but would be happy with just a great romance plot with other sub themes.

I would also prefer English voice overs if possible, as I like to put shows on in the background while im working on crafts or something.

I truly appreciate any recommendations - feeling a bit overwhelmed at the choices, but also underwhelmed at the lack of shows that are clearly what I'm looking for.

If there are any specific keywords I should use in AI for recs in the future as well, please let me know! My first round with AI on this said I might enjoy "seinen" anime, but the recs it provided look... a bit too gritty, maybe? I'm not sure how else to explain it.

Thank you so much!!

“Domestic Girlfriend” is the only thing that comes to mind.

Don't worry, you won't get banned for wanting to see people fuck

99.9% of the romance I read is pure smut haha (pretty into alien smut rn) so no shame here, just wanted to make sure the post got through! 😅

Watch interspecies reviewers… if you want all spice and no romance

Michael_Moore_20202026-01-01 21:46

“Love is hard for an otaku”. More wholesome than spicy.

kdr121212122026-01-01 21:51

Thank you!! I do love wholesome stories, really enjoyed that in the Sacrificial show as well as Ancient Magus Bride!

Michael_Moore_20202026-01-01 21:59

You might really like “apothecary dairies” then. Many people think it should have won anime of the year

Edit: it’s a slow burn but still a good show

ChamberHP2026-01-01 21:47

Try more than a married couple but not lovers, for ecchi. But if 6ou eant good plot with a hint of romance, the best is the apothecary diaries

ChamberHP2026-01-01 21:47

The quintessential quintuplets is absolute romcom cinema

kdr121212122026-01-01 21:51

Had to Google what ecchi means, but yes, that sounds good!! Thank you!!

Banished from the Hero's Party, at least the first season.

While it's set in high school, you'd probably still like "With you, Our Love Will Make it Through" It just finished so the dubs aren't caught up yet (8 episodes out of 12 are dubbed so far), but it's really well written and the female lead isn't a helpless damsel in distress for once, she actually goes for what she wants and fights back against people being jerks. The relationship is age appropriate and it does have spicy moments, although they're a bit toned down from the manga.

If you want a good spicy romance read, the prequel to this one is just as well written but is definitely more mature. It's called "Hana and the Beast Man", it's about the parents of the wolf guy in the TV show I just mentioned.

Edit: it's on crunchyroll btw

I enjoyed 365 Days to the Wedding. It's about two co workers at a travel agency who fake being married to get away from being sent off to a foreign branch. Naturally, they eventually fall in love anyway. Not necessarily sexy, but if you enjoy those Hallmark romance movies this might be up your alley.

BusyHoney97672026-01-01 22:16

Adult romance is going to be found moslty in the seinen and josei demographics so I would look there. Just note these kinds of series don't get anime often especially if they're smutty so you'll have much better luck with manga. One anime I could reccomend is Nana which feels more adult and has romance along with messy drama.

ActualRound76992026-01-01 23:00

if you want sexiness you’d be good in the ecchi tag. but that’s less adult themes and more just horny.

There are great anime with adults in it.

* 365 Days to the Wedding
* My Awkward Senpai
* I Have a Crush at Work

[This is a stack](https://myanimelist.net/stacks/69362) of 16 adult romances I have on MAL (most have dubs, which is my preference when it comes to watching.) They are hard to come by, but they're what I've found so far.

Scum's Wish

White Album 2

Nana

Not sure if this fits but adult , in a not eechi way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bride%27s_Story

If you're looking for anime extended for adult women, it's josei. Seinen is intended for adult men.

That said, I enjoyed the anime called "Rec", notably the main characters aren't in high-school.

An other thing I recently enjoyed was "Dispatch" its a game that focuses on a story with strong elements of romance. Not exactly anime, but worth looking into.
