10. Love and Lies
Koi to Uso is an anime released in 2017 with 12 episodes. And while we don’t consider it to be that good, we still feel like recommending it to you on this list, since you can find it on Amazon Prime Video.
The story is set in the near future where 16-year-old teens are assigned a lifelong partner to marry.
The protagonist, Yukari Nejima, is just about to turn 16 and is preparing for his partner to be assigned to him. But what will happen when he falls in love with a girl just before that happens?
The premise sounds intriguing as you noticed, but unfortunately, the execution is not that good. The development of the story is quite poorly done, and the romance is quite repetitive.
But remember that this is merely our opinion. You may love it, and it would be great.
9. Itazura na Kiss
Itazura na Kiss is an icon of shojo manga, with an animated adaptation released in 2008 in 25 episodes.
Kotoko is a beautiful, awkward, and sincere girl, while Naoki is on the surface the perfect boy, but actually has a cold personality. She is hopelessly in love with him, but he cannot stand her.
But when fate makes them live together in the same house, how will their relationship evolve?
Itazura na Kiss is one of the best vanilla romance anime, with little drama and much focus on the love story, tender and full of comedy.
The characters are well written, with character design typical of shojo works that we are sure you will love.
8. Hello World
Hello World is a romance movie released in 2019 that you can conveniently find on Amazon Prime Video. It lasts approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The story takes place in Kyoto, in the year 2027. Naomi Katagaki is a boy who, on a seemingly normal day, meets a person claiming to be his future self, who tells him something shocking.
He is there to save Ruri, a girl Naomi will start dating after exactly three months. What does this all mean?
Hello World is a good movie, with a plot that is nothing new, but still entertaining.
The real flaw of this movie however is another: its animations. They are quite bad, with exaggerated and bad use of CGI.
But this does not affect the message and the plot, so judge for yourself whether to watch it or not.
7. Scum’s Wish
Scum’s Wish is one of the most underrated romance anime in our opinion. It was released in 2017 in 12 episodes that you can find on Amazon Prime Video.
Mugi and Hanabi seem like the perfect couple.
Everyone wants to be like them, but no one knows that the two are only together out of boredom and to feel less lonely, and they are in love with others.
How will their situation evolve?
Scum’s Wish is a romance anime unlike any other. It’s quite heavy in terms of the themes it deals with, and it has some explicit scenes that almost border on the erotic.
So think of it as a more adult version of the usual love story, great if you are looking for something more mature.
6. Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend is a 2015 harem romance with a school setting and ecchi elements, released in 12 episodes.

The two will become increasingly more intimate, promising to respect their passions and to help each other farm on Monster Hunter.
Wotakoi! is in our opinion the best romance anime with an otaku MC, without too much doubt.
It’s a light and funny anime with a tender and entertaining love story, which we recommend you catch up on Prime Video.

Its animations are the most dated on this list, but don’t let that detail stop you, because otherwise, you will miss out on an excellent anime.
