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.

Re: Life and Spice and Wolf are my top recommendations the other are less of what I think your looking for but still want to mention them since I felt they did something different to warrant them being on this list.

I would like to put some more experimental titles, but I'll abstain for now.

So many good ones here. I've watched a few from the ones you mentioned. All of them I pretty much enjoyed a ton.

Re Life
Bunny girl senpai
Sakura-sou no pet na Kanojo
Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
Kimi no nawa

Re life, kmi no nawa and bunny girl senapi gave me depression for a short while back in the day. Boko no Kokoro no yabai yatsu was probably one of the better ones to come out in recent times.

I also think I watched the first 2 episodes of Kaicho wa Maid Sama a long time ago... I almost forgot it existed.

Hiscore girl, tsuki ga kirei and Spice & wolf are in my never ending watch list, thanks for reminding me again. As for gosik, it's my first time hearing about it... Will check it out tho.

Also please go ahead and comment the experimental ones you mentioned, I think I'll find something interesting

Also my apologies for not mentioning the ones I already watched in my post.
