Animated By Bibury Animation Studios, Based On The Manga Written By Rikito Nakamura And Illustrated By Yukiko Nozawa

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You wants everyone to know exactly what the show is about from the title.

5 Pseudo Harem (Giji Harem)

Animated By Nomad, Based on the Manga By Yū Saitō

Pseudo Harem is another series that is so much more than what it appears to be. Most 'romance' anime revolve around a harem of women: they usually feature around five different girls falling in love with a bland main character. It's a boring, overused, unrealistic premise that never really offers much more than its surface. Somehow, Pseudo Harem not only reinvigorated the tired trope, but made it hilarious.

Pseudo Harem features Eiji Kitahama as a young man who wants a harem more than anything. His junior in the drama club, Rin Nanakura, is one of the best actresses around. She uses her amazing ability to bring each of her personalities to life, giving Eiji the most realistic harem in anime. It's an adorable series with a refreshing premise, and Rin's voice acting makes the series a top-tier romantic comedy.

4 Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

Animated By Doga Kobo, Based on the Light Novel By SunSunSun and Momoco

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian stars one of the most adorable tsundere characters in romance anime. Alya is a Russo-Japanese student with a crush on Masachika Kuzo, and when she can't help but blurt out her feelings, she does it in Russian. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Kuzo speaks Russian, and he understands every romantic word she says. It's a simple, adorable premise that also offers a lot of laughs.

Alya and Kuzo are two of the easiest characters to root for. They're both in love with one another and working hard to make sure the other doesn't find out. The story is filled with plenty of laughs thanks to Kuzo's secret understanding of Russian, and Alya is more than willing to say the sweetest things about her romantic interest.

3 Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!

Animated By A-1 Pictures, Based on the Light Novel By Takibi Amamori and Imigimuru

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! is a gem of the comedy romance category. A-1 Pictures is one of the best anime producers around the world, and even with hits like Solo Leveling and Sword Art Online, Makeine stands out as one of their best works. Almost every romance anime features the two people in love, and that's where Makeine is special.

Instead of focusing on the two 'winners' of a relationship, Makeine puts a spotlight on the 'loser', showing their rare perspective wonderfully. From the very first episode, Makeine is gripping, hilarious, and moving all at once. A-1 Pictures knocked it out of the park in of animation, and Makeine is one of the few series to combine romance and comedy perfectly.

2 Horimiya

Horimiya is often looked at as one of the best romance anime series of all time.

It's a great premise that only gets better as the story progresses. Kaguya and Shirogane are two of the smartest characters in anime, and they're always working hard to make each other it their love. Kaguya-sama is amazing because of the two main characters, the side characters also battling their own wars for love, and the quick, witty writing that makes the series hilarious.
