Horimiya, Sign of Affection, AND Dangers in My Heart in ur top 4? Peak taste Also highly recommend Ramparts of Ice. Made by the same author as Polar Opposites. It’s a slow burn with drama I honestly like it more even though both are peak. Also a good idea to wait to binge PO cause watching this show week to week is starting to get on me but I’m too impatient

It really is a good anime, really lets you just sit and enjoy their world and their growing romance. I really have no complaints, only reason it’s at 24 is cuz i rank on overall enjoyment, romance progression, comedy, and emotional maturity. The other shows just grasped all of that better, while it had me smiling the whole time it didn’t have a lot of romantic progression or comedy. I really love it tho and can’t wait for more

It’s so good especially as a fantasy romance I rewatched it not long ago and I was like this is the good stuff. Did you see our love can make it through? Cuz I was like….

Yesss also a recent rewatch. I wish they took more time for the romance tbh cuz apparently they crammed like a lot into only one season but it’s still great and funny and yes has a complete ending.

Cuz my top 10 especially, and we can use polar opposites as an example, makes me really care about the supporting cast.
