I can’t say the best but these are what came to mind first.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. A slice of life story about a few different pairings getting together. But mostly about a pair becoming more mature and dealing with trauma.

Chobits, a robot falls in love with a man, exploring the ethical and social issues with that.

lovely cover art 🥰

Oh no I missed it. 😭

Déjà vu

Page 4 was a huge surprise

or is it going to hiatus again in a few issues?

I think in our hearts we already know the answer to that.

That last page is adorable and hilarious.

Do you think they microwaved a doughnut for this situation?

Not when the main character is the loli. If you believe Saga of Tanya the Evil meets the standard set by the question you don’t understand the question.

In no particular order these come to mind. Most of these are outside what I typically watch, but I did enjoy them.

Monster (Crime Drama) https://anilist.co/anime/19/Monster/

Mushishi (Psychological Slice of Life) https://anilist.co/anime/457/Mushishi/

One Punch Man (Comedy Action) https://anilist.co/anime/21087/One-Punch-Man/

TRIGUN (Action Adventure) https://anilist.co/anime/6/TRIGUN/

Hellsing (Vampire Action) https://anilist.co/anime/270/HELLSING/

Overlord (Evil Fantasy) https://anilist.co/anime/20832/Overlord/

I think a lot of the other answers here are being too generous with your rules and not giving you characters that both look older and are older.

wow thats a massive title.

hahaha, I haven’t seen much of the current season. I tend to wait until a Blu-Ray version exists unless my buddies wanna watch it.

However, that being said @[email protected] have you seen my other post?

It’s not stink its queen bee pheromones

Eureka Seven

Mechs on surfboards, politics, main characters are young trying to fight the power.

I can’t think of a better mascot for this era of anime.

My oh my, so generous.

Oh sure, I understand that. I’m still fairly early on in the show. They just dropped the building on the dragon.

And I’m assuming that was the sister they are looking for. But, don’t tell me cause i can keep believing its not.

That screenshot is a bit of a spoiler no?
