Recommendations, please
Hi guys!
I'm currently trying to find something to watch and would love your recommendations. The last shoujo I watched and absolutely loved was My Romance with Yamada-Kun lvl 999 and I'd love something with a similar feel good vibe.
Things I don't like in shoujos:
- the crazy sister who's in love with her brother (like, why Japan?!)
- girls that are super annoying or incompetent.
- When the only and I mean the ONLY thing the show is about is the relationship - i want the romance but it's nice when it feels like you're watching an actual story that happens to portray two people falling in love.
Things I DO like:
- When the FL is kind and likable and the ML is kind as well. I like quiet or clueless ML rather than the loud ones, but I'm flexible as long as they're likable and not a-holes.
- When they actually have cute moments and a lot of tension built up.
- College or adult age.
- Good animation.
A Sign of Affection was ok and I enjoyed it, but I didn't like how abrupt their relationship was - it felt like she only fell for him because he's handsome and he was a little too weird with his random touches. Also, why does it look like everyone has lip fillers?! Saying this just as an example of what I wouldn't like. lol
Thank you all in advance!!
