What do you people recommend for a good grown up romance anime that doesn't make you feel like crap? (lemmings.world)

Most of the romance anime I've seen are based on a high school setting or something similar.

They were good and all but all have this typical format with the usual shenanigans like Love triangle, beach and fireworks festival episodes, useless love interests that have a shelf life of a hamburger... Etc.

And the memorable ones have me feeling nostalgia for memories I've never even had. And in some cases its almost like waking up after a fever dream but with chest pain.

P.S - From the top of my head- the only grown up romance setting I can think of is Wotakoi. Maybe it's time I venture more into K-dramas for the romance, I remember seeing one named "Twentyfive twentyone" which was absolutely amazing.

Watch Itazura na Kiss

And Strawberry Panic, which has a more mature story (but still plays in highschool)

I've not heard about both of them before. I'll check these out. Thanks

Ahh, and maybe also Saekano, which is one of my favorite animes of all times (make sure to watch the movie at the end)

Is that the one where the main character tries to develop a girl into an ideal heroine for his novel or something along those lines ?

I didn't completely watch that show, so I'll check it out some time. Thanks for reminding me tho.

Yeah, a bunch of young talents try to develop tthe perfect visual novel. It can feel slow at times but the payoff when watching the final movie at the end is amazing.
