10 anime romantic comedies to stream
Ranma ½
Created by Rumiko Takahashi, Ranma ½ is one of the great classics of the genre. The series follows Ranma Saotome, a young martial artist who, after falling into a cursed fountain in China, begins to transform into a woman whenever he comes into contact with cold water.
This condition causes countless confusions, especially in his relationship with Akane Tendo, his fiancée in a marriage arranged by his parents, two old friends.
With lots of humor, action and absurd situations, the anime plays with themes such as identity and gender. The franchise has two animated versions: the classic anime, shown in Brazil on Open TV, and the new 2025 animation.
Hi Score Girl
Set in the ’90s, Hi Score Girl combines arcade nostalgia and youthful romance. Haruo Yaguchi, a boy passionate about video games, sees his life change when he meets Akira Ono, a very skilled schoolmate who defeats him in every game.
What begins as a rivalry evolves into a deep friendship and a delicate first love.
Urusei Yatsura (Noise Gang)
Another classic from Rumiko Takahashi, but this time more comedy-oriented than romance-oriented. Urusei Yatsura follows Ataru Moroboshi, a down-on-his-luck, womanizing boy who ends up being chosen to represent Earth in an alien competition.
After a series of confusions, he becomes the boyfriend of the extraterrestrial princess Lum, who falls in love with him.
Mixing romantic comedy and science fiction, the anime is one of the pioneers of absurd humor and has influenced generations with its charismatic cast and chaotic situations.
The work features classic 80s animation and a modern remake.
Witches’ clock
Magical comedy that follows Nico, a young witch, and Morihito, her childhood friend who is tasked with being her guardian and protecting her.
While she dreams of turning this cohabitation into a love story, he tries to deal with the disasters caused by the witch’s unpredictable spells. Together, they face supernatural beings and hilarious situations in their daily school life.
BlueBox
One of the most popular romantic comedies of the new generation, Blue Box follows Taiki Inomata, a student and badminton player who falls in love with Chinatsu Kano, a basketball athlete.
The relationship between the two changes completely when Chinatsu begins to temporarily live at Taiki’s house while his parents travel abroad.
The anime combines sports drama, teen romance, and light comedy.
My love story!! (Pray Monogatari!!)
Unlike traditional romantic comedies, My love story!! has an unusual protagonist: Takeo Gouda, a tall, strong and kind boy, but unlucky in love.
His life changes when he saves Rinko Yamato from a rapist on a train and believes that she is in love with his best friend, the handsome and reserved Sunakawa.
However, to his surprise, Yamato shows genuine interest in him. The series subverts clichés and presents a wholesome and fun relationship. An ideal work for those who love cute and emotional moments.
Kaguya-sama: Love is war
One of the greatest modern hits of the genre, Kaguya-sama: Love is war turns love into a real war of egos.
Kaguya Shinomiya, heiress to a powerful family, and Miyuki Shirogane, the brightest student at Shuchiin Academy, are in love with each other. But both refuse to confess first, believing that the first to declare their feelings “loses” the argument.
The result is a sequence of psychological battles, where each encounter turns into an exciting game of strategy.
Jump and slacker
School romantic comedy anime. The plot follows Mitsumi Iwakura, a country girl who moves alone to Tokyo with big dreams and life plans.
Although she is very intelligent and dedicated, she encounters adjustment difficulties due to her lack of social skills, which leads her to make small mistakes in daily life.
Little by little, her genuine ways win over the people around her, especially Sousuke Shima, a very kind boy who helps her settle in. The anime follows the daily lives of the characters, showing how they open up, get to know each other and understand each other.
Horimiya
Hori and Miyamura are classmates who reveal completely different sides of themselves outside of school. Hori, seemingly popular, is actually pragmatic and dedicated to his family, while Miyamura, at first glance ordinary, hides his “bad boy” style with piercings and tattoos.
When they meet by chance outside of school, they discover unexpected affinities and begin to share friendship, personal growth and love. With a balance of humor and romance, the anime authentically portrays teenage relationships.
Komi can’t communicate
The work follows Komi Shouko, a popular girl who suffers from social anxiety and has great difficulty communicating. Determined to make 100 friends, she receives help from her shy colleague Tadano, who realizes that her reputation as a reserved person actually hides an awkward and kind personality.
Together they face embarrassing situations, but also tender moments, in which their relationship strengthens, revealing the possibility of an even deeper bond.
