4. My Senpai is Annoying

But he’s also kind, caring, and willing to go above and beyond for me. For example, he stopped some pervert from filming up my skirt when we took the train together, gave me a drink when I was pulling a long shift, and even came over to my place when I was cooped up with a cold. What gives?! If he keeps acting like this, people are going to think we’re dating or something…!

Release Year: 2021
My Senpai is Annoying has been giving me the same vibes as Horimiya. Both are about romance in a commonplace with no other gimmicks. Both focus on multiple relationships, not just the one between the leads. Both have a strong comedy element. To me, the only difference is the setting (school for Horimiya, office for My Senpai is Annoying)
3. Kimi ni Todoke – From Me To You
Description: Sawako Kuronuma is just like any other high school girl who wants to make friends and be useful. The only problem is she bears a worrying resemblance to Sadako from ‘The Ring!’ Because of her reputation, people are not only terrified of her, but small dogs even bark in fear at her presence; in fact, the only person in school who will talk to her is the lively class hottie, Kazehaya. As the pair spends more time together, Kazehaya slowly begins to bring Sawako out of her shell and soon their feelings for each other develop further. Though with her crippling insecurities, lack of social skills, and a series of cruel rumors and misunderstandings, it seems that Sawako’s dream of a normal life won’t be quite so easy to obtain.
Number of Episodes: 25
Release Year: 2009
Played straight shoujo romances about a couple with opposite personalities falling in love. In Horimiya it’s the guy who’s misunderstood whereas in Kimi ni Todoke it’s the girl. Both anime have strong themes of school life friendships and adolescent drama.
