When I first started watching animes, as most people, I started with Naruto because I grew up watching it. Because of that, I loved action anime. After watching Naruto a few times, I decided to graduate and move on to the next anime. Next, I tried UQ holder. The anime wasn't all that great, but during that time, it was fantastic. I watched it on youtube during that time which was I think 2021. After getting a few recommendations from a fellow otaku(my bro) I decided to watch some other animes. After I finished secondary school, i stumbled upon one anime and damn, it changed me completely.
A few months after my anime debut, I watched Horimiya. A high school romance anime, and it wasn't one of those love polygon or waiting two seasons before confessing type. It was straight forward and..... romantic. A brief summary of the anime, The male MC was a gloomy guy at school and the female MC was a popular pretty girl. Plot twist, he wasn't gloomy at all in fact, he was a hot guy. He helped her brother once while he was dressed hotly and then they got to know each other. Well....... after watching episodes 1 to 4, I just took a break and started remembering my school times. My school times weren't bad, but yeah, nothing good happened in the romance sense. I had female friends, but we were just friends and nothing more.
Once I finished the anime, I did not remain the same. Even though it was fiction, I was still hoping that something similar could have happened to me, but I was already done with high school and I can not go back to the past. After disrupting my brain for a while, I fell in love with the anime, I would always look for romance in any anime that I want to watch. I usually feel like I'm the MC in animes anytime I start watching which also part of the reasons I like it. I've dropped different animes because of failed romance or something of sort. In my search for romance, I found My little monster, toxic but interesting, Kaguya sama-love is war, interesting too, but took them 3 seasons to confess which is still annoying.
I would really appreciate it if I could get some interesting romance anime recommendations, a little bit of action might not be bad too.
