WATCH VIOLET EVERGARDEN!!!!!

its a really good romance anime

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:14

Ah I have watched this twice already lol I didn't include it because it is a bit heavy on the emotions am looking for something wholesome rn

Smoothesuede2026-01-08 14:02

Honey lemon soda

Skip & Loafer

Fruits Basket

Dance Dance Danseur

Insomniacs After School

Yakuza Fiance

Chihayafuru

O Maidens in Your Savage Season.

Have fun, bud.

ClemFire2026-01-08 15:12

I don't watch much shojo romance but I quite liked Honey Lemon Soda.

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:15

Thanks for the suggestions!

Didn't like yakuza's fiance much i watched 4 episodes the yakuza stuff got too much for a romance anime for me

Skip and loafer was really good but idk why I dropped it I'll watch it again soon

Smoothesuede2026-01-08 17:55

Regarding Yakuza Fiance; yeah that's true isn't it. That one really doesn't fit your request for "wholesome" romances. My bad, wasn't thinking.

That in mind, Fruits Basket, Chihayafuru, Dance Dance Danseur, and O Maidens are all varying degrees of dramatic.

The rest are fluffy and lovely.

Defeactor2026-01-08 20:10

Thanks for the suggestions🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

evilresurgence42026-01-08 14:10

violet evergarden and your lie in april would prob top ur list

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:16

Watched both of these but looking for something wholesome your lie in April was diabolical 😭

ClemFire2026-01-08 15:24

I honestly can't watch Your Lie in April again because it was trauma inducing

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:47

Yeah but tbh animes which made me cry I consider them unrewatchable masterpieces because although they were extremely emotional they are too heartbreaking

FailedQueen7772026-01-08 14:13

Im currently watching real girl, this one is pretty good and tales of wedding ring, the name is a trap its an isekia.

My first girlfriend is a gal, gamers! These 2 are really cringe and awkward but I love them.

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:16

I'll check it out thanks!

Chechewichka2026-01-08 14:21

Ai Yori Aoshi.
Enjoy.

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:17

Thanks!

sadReksaiMain2026-01-08 14:22

Nana is the best romance anime on thw market

Guilty-Tell2026-01-08 14:35

Read the title he wanted wholesome lol.

x_shaolong_x2026-01-08 19:12

is it bad?

Guilty-Tell2026-01-08 21:44

No it is great but it is kinda the opposite of wholesome.

Ok_Law2192026-01-08 14:36

Tamon's b side currently airing sweet, silly amazing va

Girls monthly Nozaki-kun (parody little progress)

Days with my stepsister (very artsy)

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:17

Thanks!!

Caydos282026-01-08 14:39

Alya a B!!!?????

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:18

Yeah I didn't found it that good tbh I should maybe rewatch because I watched it a while ago and I rated these not long ago

I found it B because the student council stuff got too much

Caydos282026-01-08 15:29

Ngl your ranking goes hard, but I would change Alya to an A minimum and Horimiya to a S minimum.

Some recommendations
Days with my step sister, Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle, Re zero, My Friends little sister has it out for me , The dreaming boy is a realist, My stepmom’s daughter is my ex, Orange, 86, Domestic Girlfriend, Whisper me a love song. If you’re looking at films what’ll make you cry you got, A silent voice, and I want to eat your pancreas

Caydos282026-01-08 15:30

Make sure you put all mine on the top of your list 😉😉

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:52

I'll check your suggestions out💯

And about the ranking I'll reach alya sometimes soon and horimiya had imo too many cuts and the missing pieces all together didn't make for a wholesome packed show

Although it was cute and funny the pacing was a bit too fast

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:51

Yea I have watched those films mentioned it in the post

I don't quite like love triangles how many of these have them? I don't mind ones which don't create too many misunderstandings thought because it gets annoying for me

I said this as an exception because most of the stuff I have watched doesn't have love triangles and am probably gonna run out of this niche soon

Caydos282026-01-08 16:00

Yeah man, a lot if not all of the ones I’ve listed have a love triangle on some sort. But soon you’re gonna start running out with those animes and have to resort to the love triangles haha. Hope I helped some sort though, I love my romance animes over any other genre

Defeactor2026-01-08 16:05

Yeah I have forcefully watched some drama aswell to get used to it but misunderstanding drama is annoying

Caydos282026-01-08 23:36

If you want bro I can write about each anime in a sentence describing how the relationships are with with the main character and other stuff. Sorry for taking a long time to respond, time zones and stuff haha

Defeactor2026-01-09 06:12

Tbh I am just very confused rn , am just assuming I'll watch another wholesome romance rn because I like them but idk if am in the mood

This is because I just finished apothecary diaries and it's hard to find something now that can match it , Maomao as an FMC was so dang good idk if there is an anime that can match a FMC like maomao

Caydos282026-01-09 06:28

Damn yeah ngl Apothecary Diaries goes hard. With the ones I listed I’d say the closest ones to AD is Days with My Stepsister. Then ‘Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle’ then ‘My Friends Little Sister Has it Out for Me’ then ‘The Dreaming Boy is a Realist’ then ‘My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex’ then ‘Domestic Girlfriend’ then ‘Whisper Me a Love Song’. I hope this narrows your selection for your next anime by a little haha. They should all be on Crunchyroll, besides WMALS which is on HIDIVE

Defeactor2026-01-09 08:28

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:21

Looking for something really wholesome rn though with no love triangles and stuff less drama

Human_Warning73442026-01-08 16:59

Welcome! Let me know your favorite

Zeallfnonex2026-01-08 15:28

I'll continue pushing Clannad whenever I can I guess. Super wholesome romance that progresses into adulthood. Warning: also a tearjerker later on especially.

Caydos282026-01-08 15:31

Clannad goes hard, sucks how it’s not on any streaming services in Australia

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:55

What kind of a tearjerker is it though I know clannad is popular and good but is it tearjerker because of misunderstandings? Breakups?

Or is it something more deep like family , pain , losing someone that stuff I don't mind that

Zeallfnonex2026-01-08 16:14

Family, pain, and loss. No real misunderstandings.

Defeactor2026-01-08 16:55

Oh that's fine and actually it adds so much to the anime

Last time I saw something in this genre was violet evergarden loved it

Suitable_Bear_50142026-01-08 15:34

Bro’s asking for something wholesome, people suggesting depressive tearjerkers.

Defeactor2026-01-08 15:49

xd I have watched most of the tearjerkers though but i still search up before watching because I can't deal with a depressing ending rn

I hate love triangles and too much uneeded drama aswell

Mysteriax2026-01-08 17:40

I have 3 suggestions which I havent seen mentioned.

All light hearted romcoms

Aishiteruze Baby.

Lovely Complex.

Kimi ni Todoke.

Defeactor2026-01-08 20:10

I did try out kimi no todoke a while ago I think but as far as I remember I dropped it after 1st season because I wasn't in the mood of slow pace at that time might pick it up again.

And I have heard about lovely complex alot it is an old one right?

Aishiteruze baby is a completely new one to me tho I'll look it up thanks!

Mysteriax2026-01-08 20:49

They are all a tad older :D, but you have seen most of the good new ones so I thought I would suggest slightly older ones

Ok_Law2192026-01-08 21:16

Current season's total fluff romance, The invisible Man and his Soon to be wife.

Last season's total fluff romance: pass the monster meat m'lady.

TitanicsCinderella2026-01-12 14:06

Kamisama kiss

Active-Sentence-32502026-01-12 19:47

I know I’m late but by ur rankings, think you’d love dangers in my heart has 2 seasons and a movie in February

Defeactor2026-01-12 20:04

Yeah it is in my ranking
