Looking for recommendations for romantic comedy anime? Tired of the traditional lists? In this article, we will share a complete list of the 40 best rom com romance anime with plenty of comedy for you!
Romantic comedy anime, also known as romcoms, usually feature characters who meet and eventually fall in love, but sometimes they can focus on already coupled characters, whose relationships grow throughout the story.
The progression of their relationship generally provides a comedic aspect; for example, through the obstacles the couple faces, such as a love triangle, or through incompatible personalities, misunderstandings, or other common tropes.

Ore Monogatari
A romantic comedy kawaii desu that tells the story of a giant guy who has never been loved, meets a beautiful girl who falls in love with him. A perfect anime from start to finish, full of comedy and cute scenes. A very peculiar romantic anime!
Takeo Gouda is a giant guy with a giant heart. Too bad the girls don't want him (they want his handsome best friend, Sunakawa)! Used to being on the sidelines, Takeo simply stands his ground and accepts his fate.
But one day, when he saves a girl named Yamato from a stalker on the train. His life suddenly takes an incredible turn and he sort of falls into a relationship, despite the traditional slowness and shame of Japanese culture.
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Chiyo Sakura, a high school student, fell in love with a schoolmate named Umetaro Nozaki, in the failed attempt to declare herself, Nozaki thinks she is a fan and gives him an autograph.
One day she decides to be brave and invites him out. Her feelings were not conveyed properly, and before she realized it, she ended up becoming his assistant on a shoujo manga work.
Nozaki is a famous shoujo manga artist, with a story woven by very individualistic characters. This anime is very funny, a true romantic comedy, but will Chiyo be able to win him over?
Nisekoi - False Love
Raku Ichijo is a high school student and the sole heir to the head of a Yakuza family called the Shuei-gumi. 10 years ago, Raku made a secret promise to a girl he met. They mutually promised that they would "marry when they meet again".
Since then, Raku has never let go of the pendant the girl gave him. Still, in high school he falls in love with a girl named Onodera, and ends up having bad experiences with a newcomer named Chitoge.
In the meantime, Raku and Chitoge are forced to maintain a fake relationship to keep the peace between the Mafia and the Yakuza. It is a super funny must-see romantic comedy anime with two seasons.
Pray no Imouto ga Konna ni kawaii wake ga nai
Affectionately nicknamed Oreimo, this two-season anime tells the story of an ordinary protagonist who discovers that his sister is a hardcore Otaku addicted to games featuring younger sister characters. Despite the theme, the anime is light without the exploitative use of ecchi.
This anime depicts the true nature of an Otaku in Japan, their daily life, their friendships, and how society looks at these people pejoratively. The anime also comically addresses romance with various characters.
The mood of the anime made it a standout on my favorite anime list. A true romantic comedy that I recommend to everyone, but don't expect any emotional ending as it breaks clichés.
Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat
Nicknamed HenNeko, the anime tells the story of Yokodera, a naughty boy who looks for a statue called warawanai neko, in order to get rid of his inability to be sincere, with the aim of shirking his responsibilities in a school club.
However, this "sincerity" will lead him to a great disaster, making him say everything he really thinks, known as Hentai Ouji (perverted prince). Meanwhile, he meets a girl with no facial expression who faces another problem.
Lovely Complex
This romantic comedy tells the story of a tall girl and a short boy who are always fighting and teasing each other. Until things start to change and a complicated romance begins to develop between the two.
One of the most famous and classic romantic comedy anime of all time. A little old, with intriguing features, but with a very cute and very funny story.
