28 Romance Anime Recommendations

 Hey guys! First and foremost, happy new year! Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. I sat at home and watched one of my favorite streamers while reading Say I Love You manga. I hope 2021 brings forth happiness for everyone. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone and we all deserve happiness after that. Now let's get into the blog post. 

After talking with new friends on a Discord server, I decided it was time to officially offer my recommendations on romance anime. I'm going to actually sort them...kind of...in my own way...I guess...let's get started lol. I don't know why I am being so awkward.
