Recommendations, please

Recommendation

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!!
