Looking for an adult romance anime(s)

I'd like a more adult anime focused on romance or with a very in depth romance arc.

One with actual adults and not high schoolers and where the art makes the characters look like adults as well.

I've enjoyed a couple high school settings,

I enjoyed My Dress Up Darling, even though it is high schoolers and the anime doesn't even reach any confession yet the female protag is super wholesome and it was enough to make me overlook the bumbling male protag.

I also enjoyed The Gal who as meant to confess but fell in lvoe with me. It was actually stupid wholesome and gave me diabetes.

There was a Korean manwha "Maybe meant to be" That i really enjoyed reading.

I'd prefer one more mature and less of a socially inept protag. Not looking for ones that end super depressing either.

Thanks in advance.

Kowloon Generic Romance might fit your bill, but it's also got a bit of a mystery plot to it.

OP asked for ones that don't end depressing...

Golden time is a solid one that comes to mind. There are also romance shows based around the workplace. Check anilist for those (plenty to choose from).

Having a hard time finidng it. kek. No go on CR or Hidive

It’s from over a decade ago, licensing for shows like that are hit and miss in the streaming age. I would maybe try your local library system for the dvd/bluray?

Gloomy-Response-68892026-01-05 03:25

Hmm, I recall it being on CR. Perhaps region locked?

On anilist, it says hidive and hulu should have it.

Golden Time

If you’re not too strict with the adult criteria, Insomniacs After School is about high schoolers but it’s a lot more grounded

I really enjoyed Maison Ikkoku, but I read the manga and did not see the anime. I hear it's good though.

Nodame Cantabile has a lot of romance, but focuses more on the music career stuff than the romance
