Hey Coleman, asking girls about romance isn't a good idea xD

[kittenxoxokisses]

Sooo....you're a guy, and you like romances? XD AWKWARD lol jk. You should watch high school rumble, it's adorable, they have it on Netflix, except the main character, her voice is annoying in English haha.

[rosieechan]

<sub>Romance? Did someone say Romance? *ears perk up*
Dude, you're talking to a huuuuuge shoujo fanatic here.
I ship a LOT. xD

Let's seeeeee!

I'll name the common ones that I've caught up with.
All of you probably know Ouran High School Host Club's famous Tamaki/Haruhi. CUTEST, MOST IDIOTIC COUPLE EVER. :D
Hmm...Fruits Basket! Kyo/Tohru. Not the Yuki. Please. @_@
Sailor Moon: Mamoru/Usagi. FTW. (or Darien/Serena if you watch the English version)
ToraDora: Ryuuji/Taiga. Hilarious.
Soul Eater: Soul/Maka. I love when it's built on friendship. <3
Let's not forget FMA with it's super adorable Ed/Winry (hence the icon), Al/Mei (hence the signature), Ling/LanFan, Roy/Riza, and MANY more. That series is full of romance, from young pairs to married couples.

And Bev, I know I seriously need to check out School Rumble. I'll do so when I'm done with college apps. :D

...and many more romance manga~!</sub>

[~Boshi~]

ANU, HOW DARE YOU EXCLUDE YUKI FROM FRUBA xD

Yuki and Nezumi...My mice men

Toradora was a great anime and as to Ouran I just can't bring myself to call it a romance. They need a new category like "seduction" or something for animes like Ouran and TWGOK

It's called shoujo. :) Anime like Toradora and OHSHC are targeted toward young female audiences and usually have genres like "romance" "school life" "humor" etc.

[~Boshi~]

Then shoujo for boy/boy is shounen ai (Light boy love)

Shounen ai is sometimes just a series with some questionable relationships or even its own category. It can be intentional or unintentional. It differs from Yaoi as the relationships between characters are not pronnounced, and the content is not explicit.

Yaoi: Hana Nite no Sourou; Junjou Romantica
Intentional Shounen ai: Luo Xue Cheng Bai.
Unintentional: Kuroshitsuji, No.6

Shounen Ai and Shoujo also have distinctive art styles. Normal Shounen (Boy's Manga) Also has its own art style, and is usually more focused on plot and action than romance.

Shounen Manga: Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, etc.

There is your lesson for the day xD

I'm aware that they are shoujo, one of my favorite romances was shoujo(Itazura na Kiss) and what I'm trying to say is there is no stable romance through Ouran. In it they seduce all those women to make them happy which is the common theme throughout the story, much like The World God Only Knows, in which the male lead(is forced to) seduce women(to fill their hearts with love thus forcing the demons out) THAT is why my friends SEDUCTION IS A NEEDED CATEGORY!(and before you say anything TWGOK is a shounen manga/anime

[rosieechan]

Haha, thanks for the lecture, Laura.

Good point. I'm guessing you're referring to the anime version of Ouran? But I was really thinking of the manga (sorry for not clarifying). The manga actually has a plot in terms of romance and ends well! There is way more Tamaki/Haruhi interaction; actually, the anime leaves off right in the middle of the manga's plot, and soon after that in the manga, it's all about the development of Tamaki's and Haruhi's relationship (+ stuff about Tamaki's family). And it has an actual conclusion instead of the anime leaving you wondering what would happen with the cliffhanger romance.

[coleman]

OMG I'm totally gonna read the manga now! thnx for telling me that

[lunashikofski]

i love how everyone can relate to this

Ouran really is a good romance but in my opinion its a tad thin but why i wont say
on the other had Rosiro vampire is a wonderful fantasy full of mystery the harem even has a gay guy its one of my favorites is still ongoing if any of you want to read it ;D

[yamanakei]

shuffle! is a really cute romance anime I found it on Netflix and got instantly addicted.

[coleman]

I watched shuffle because my cousin reccomended it to me, and around like the seventh episode the chick was taking a bath, and I thought, Oh, well they wont show anything when she stands up of course. I WAS W-R-O-N-G. i asked my cousin later why he didnt tell me about that and he said...."OH, well you didn't ask"!?!?!??!? but yeah it was a really good romance especially considering it was based off of an adult eroge

[~Boshi~]

SO IN THE NEWEST INSTALLMENT OF NO.6 NEZUMI AND SHION DANCED....

OH MY FAVORITE ROMANCE THAT ISN'T A ROMANCE [/b]
