My Happy Marriage has captured our hearts with its moving tale of a young woman persevering through an arranged marriage in a historical setting. Miyo’s quiet strength in the face of adversity and her blossoming relationship with her husband resonate strongly.
If you were drawn into this lovely period drama and the themes of overcoming hardship, finding inner resolve, and building an unexpected bond, there are other romance anime that will also speak to you.
10 Yona Of The Dawn
Yona of the Dawn is an anime that brings the fantasy world of Kouka Kingdom to life through its vibrant art and animation. The story follows Princess Yona on a journey after being forced to flee her palace and her father getting murdered.
A major theme of the anime is Yona’s character growth. She starts out naive, helpless, and dependent on others. But that changes soon when she starts to lean on her bodyguard Hak. Their blossoming relationship is a treat.
9 Kamisama Kiss
Nanami Momozono is alone and homeless after her dad skips town to evade his gambling debts. When she helps a man being harassed by a dog, he gives her his house, which turns out to be a shrine.
Nanami becomes the local deity’s new divine entity and soon falls in love with her familiar, Tomoe, who initially despises her. While the central relationship between Nanami and Tomoe offers romantic appeal, the show never loses sight of Nanami’s growth as a kami. For these reasons and more, Kamisama Kiss is a great shojo anime.
8 Violet Evergarden
The bond between Violet and Major Gilbert is the emotional core of Violet Evergarden. Though their relationship begins with Gilbert purchasing Violet as a child soldier, it develops into something much more profound. Violet was an orphan who was raised as a mere weapon.
The Major gives Violet her name and slowly begins teaching her the meaning of words, empathy, and emotion. He treats her with kindness and cares for her in a way she has never experienced. Kiyoka Kudou of My Happy Marriage is a lot similar to Gilbert in this regard.
7 Katanagatari
Katanagatari distinguishes itself with a minimalist art style. Its stylized look nicely complements the Edo setting. Character designs use basic lines and flat colors, while backgrounds are more detailed. Katanagatari follows the stoic swordsman Shichika and the witty strategist Togame.
Their amusing odd-couple dynamic and philosophical interchanges between action sequences make them appealing even beyond their role in the story. The various sword masters they battle are also larger-than-life personalities.
6 Nodame Cantabile
Many anime feature high school students. However, Nodame offers a refreshing take by following university students at a top music conservatory in Japan. Protagonist Shinichi Chiaki dreams of becoming a world-renowned conductor. He’s a perfectionist and a bit of a snob, especially when it comes to music.
Conversely, Megumi Noda is free-spirited and plays with raw, unrefined passion. Their opposite personalities cause friction at first, but they soon learn from each other. The anime authentically represents the struggles and rewards of honing one’s musical craft. We feel the ache in their fingers, the nerves in their stomachs, and the euphoria in nailing technically challenging passages.
5 Clannad
When we first meet Tomoya, he has a cynical outlook and dysfunctional home life. His father is an alcoholic, and his mother passed away. Then he meets the sweet and gentle Nagisa at the base of a hill lined with cherry blossom trees. The anime portrays this moment with a striking shift in color.
The world around Tomoya suddenly bursts into vivid hues, signifying the profound impact she has on him. Their relationship evolves from friendship to romance, and they become each other’s support system. This, as Tomoya says in Episode 1, is the beginning of a long-long upward climb. Nobody will be able to finish without breaking their ‘no-cry’ streak.
4 Snow White With The Red Hair
Snow White with the Red Hair is a Japanese manga series written by Sorata Akizuki. It has been adapted into an anime television series, which aired in two seasons from 2015 to 2016. In a medieval era where social status defines your worth, people with red hair are a rare beauty.
After catching the eye of the conceited prince of her country, Shirayuki flees to the neighboring kingdom of Clarines. Here she crosses paths with Zen, the down-to-earth prince of Clarines. Their budding romance can melt the coldest of hearts.
3 Usagi Drop
Usagi Drop is a heartwarming anime that explores the meaning of family and parenthood. Based on the manga by Yumi Unita, it tells the story of Daikichi, a 30-year-old bachelor who suddenly finds himself taking care of a 6-year-old girl named Rin after his grandfather passes away.
What makes Usagi Drop stand out is its realistic and thoughtful portrayal of the challenges of raising a child as a single parent. Daikichi has no experience with kids and struggles at first with things like preparing suitable meals, helping Rin dress, and getting her to school on time.
2 Spice And Wolf
Spice and Wolf is a fantasy anime that debuted in 2008, based on the popular light novel series by Isuna Hasekura. The anime stands out for its focus on economics, trade, and negotiation — uncommon subjects for most anime. It tells the story of Kraft Lawrence, a traveling merchant in a medieval world inspired by Europe.
His companion is Holo, an ancient wolf deity who appears as a young girl with wolf ears and a tail. Their banter about economic theory makes mundane merchant life engaging. While the anime only adapts the first three novels, Spice and Wolf is also about the subtle romance between the duo.
1 The Ancient Magus’ Bride
The Ancient Magus’s Bride blends magic, romance, and self-discovery into one mystical package. It centers around Chise, a troubled teenage girl who’s purchased as a bride by an ancient, non-human mage named Elias. Elias may seem a tall, creepy, antlered skull-face, but he’s got a heart of gold under those bones.
He wants to help Chise find happiness and learn to control her powerful magic abilities. The series handles heavy themes such as depression, loneliness, and trauma with sensitivity. If slower-pace anime appeals to you, The Ancient Magus’s Bride is a great one to add to the watchlist.
